Greetings!
The staff and interns are frustrated, angered, and deeply scared by the recent events in Zanesville, Ohio. The events unfolded in such a way that it is evident that most of the parties involved had no plan. For those who did, the chain of command prohibited the plan from being implemented. The slaughtered animals cannot be brought back but there is a lesson to be learned for all of us. In recent years the facility lost its Class C Exhibitor License, which is issued yearly by the USDA/APHIS Devision. This event should have triggered local officials, both state and county, to take action. If this were handled properly more of the animals would have survived. To help facilitate the relocation of the animals, Turpentine Creek has offered both adequate space and transportation. Now we wait for the phone to ring. Turpentine Creek staff members have rescued big cats and bears from all over the country. Please donate today. 
Sincerely, Scott Smith Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge

Cats of the Week - Corvetta and Zora 
Corvetta and her cagemate, Zora, were retrieved from Pleasant Hope, MO, on August 20, 2007. They had been purchased by their previous owner from the Exotic Animal paradise in Springfield, MO, when the facility closed and auctioned all of their exotic animals in October of 2006. The new owner had planned on cross-breeding the two cats to house cats to produce "Savannah Cats." After less than a year without producing a valuable litter of kittens, he decided to rid himself of the cats. He had not given them names and had no idea how old they were.
