Employees or trained volunteers may briefly enter lower level enclosures housing animals like caracals for cleaning and maintenance, but are careful not to interact with these wild animals. All employees and volunteers receive extensive training before they can interact with the animals or enter any enclosure.
Carolina Tiger Rescue is a no-touch facility and meets USDA and US Fish and Wildlife standards for a big cat sanctuary. Guests must be escorted around the sanctuary by a staff member and are kept at least three feet away from the animal enclosures.
