For my B-day trip this year I had the pleasure of driving to Eureka Springs, AR to visit Turpentine Creek Animal Sanctuary. It was a 14 hour drive but well worth is as we love to travel. We stayed on the grounds which was the best thing about the whole trip. We got to hear the lions "sing" all night long as well as having the freedom to move around the sanctuary freely. We got to see some of the animals that do not normally appear when it is hotter in the day. Eureka Springs is a neat little town but man they know how to get your money by charging to park just about any where 
Here are some pics I took right from our porch!
The tiger sitting on the ground right by the fence saw us sitting on a bench watching him and his neighbors. He came bounding down the hill to "chuff" at us and rub all over the fence. We sat there and told him how handsome he was and he plopped right down there to listen to us!
If you ever have a change to visit I strongly encourage it.

He needed lots of space and things to climb on and destroy. Our property was purrfect for this as we have 6.5 acres with many different areas set up just for our kitty cats. His name was Thor. He even smelled different than our kitty cats. He was oh so sweet once he could get his energy out. He left us at 10 yrs of age. He just did not wake up one day
