TCWR 239 Turpentine Creek Lane Eureka Springs, AR. 72632 Sincerely, Laurie Vanderwal Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge   Cat of the Week - Bombay     On March 23, 2006, TCWR received a plea for help from Lightning Ranch  Wildlife preserve, a sanctuary in Auburn, KS.  Their county had passed a ban on exotic animal ownership and the allotted time to relocate their animals was fast approaching.   Bombay was being temporarily housed at a defunct breeding farm north of Salina, KS, until TCWR staff members could retrieve him. He was rescued along with another tiger, Styx on March 30, 2006.  His birthday is 4/24/1996.   Bombay enjoys the enrichment his habitat provides. Video of the Week Take a look at this!
