The disrespect of women in this community is indeed sad. Over the years, when Chelsea and I are sitting somewhere, there have been dozens of chasers (men) who come up to say hi to me and completely ignore her, like blatantly. Noone is asking for a red carpet welcome, but some of you cant even be bothered to simply smile and say hi back. Its pathetic. Its been bugging me for a couple years but Ive kept my mouth shut until now. If this is who you are as a person, dont even bother saying hi to me.

Happy Earth Day from Huggy Bear! 🌎🐻 Watch as he enjoys his enrichment boxes—just one of the many ways we encourage natural behaviors and keep minds active here at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. Earth Day is all about celebrating and protecting our planet—caring for wildlife, preserving natural habitats, and working together to make a difference. Caring for these animals and protecting the natural world go hand in hand. Thank you for being part of that mission. 🐾 #EarthDay #TCWR #GFAS #TurpentineCreek #Sanctuary #SanctuaryLife #bear #bears #happybears #rescuedbears #HUGGY #huggybear #holiday

Everyone, shout out a great big GOOD NIGHT to Luna, our beautiful white tigress. 🐅 As she enjoys a peaceful power nap before nightfall, it’s worth remembering that the animals at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge are not locked inside at night. Unless weather requires otherwise, they have full access to their large, natural habitats—free to play, prowl, and explore. Surrounded by the quiet beauty of the Ozark Mountain wilderness, their nights are filled with the calm, natural sounds of the great outdoors. 🐾 #TCWR #GFAS #TurpentineCreek #Sanctuary #SanctuaryLife #tiger #tigers #bigcat #night #goodnight #sleepycat #nite

Meet Black Leopard Axle Species: Leopard (Panthera pardus) DOB: September 25, 2011 Sex: Male Arrival Date: May 22, 2025 In May 2025, Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge (TCWR) responded to a critical rescue after a California facility lost its permit due to repeated animal welfare violations. Partnering with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, TCWR helped rescue and relocate eight wild animals—including Axle the leopard—to lifelong sanctuary at the Refuge. Axle had to be sedated to ensure safe loading for transport. While under sedation, our veterinary team performed an initial exam and discovered he was missing a random claw. He did not have a microchip, so we inserted one during this exam. His USDA records show he has advanced kidney disease and a heart murmur, requiring ongoing specialized care. Axle was placed in a medium-sized cat habitat in Freedom Field, which we designed specifically for wild cats like leopards. This space provides soft, natural ground and ample room for cats to move comfortably and safely. Despite his medical challenges, Axle has a calm and resilient spirit. Thanks to your support, he receives expert veterinary care, a specialized diet tailored to his kidney condition, and compassionate daily attention. #TCWR #GFAS #TurpentineCreek #Sanctuary #SanctuaryLife #bio #storytelling #storyteller #rescuestory #axle #blackcat
