"Sue Steffens is a badass. She wrestles bears and plays hide-and-seek with lions. More importantly, she is the overseer of a refuge for large, exotic animals that, for one reason or another, have lost their original homes. I met her beside the cage of Furry the Lion, and when I left her, she was cradling a 10-month old black bear, almost my height, after a round of play. As the executive director of Tigers for Tomorrow at Untamed Mountain, Steffens has a job description that includes living among beasts, not to mention continuous careful planning, constant fundraising and a mammoth emotional investment."

In the past five year TFT has struggled to find funds to make some major advancements in our environmental education programming. This year thanks to the grants bestowed upon us by The Daniel Foundation of Alabama, “Legacy, partners in Environmental Education”, and The Sharing Foundation, we are finally going to open our living classroom and welcome center which will also house our gift store.

One such organization, Tigers For Tomorrow, received a grant to plant a Butterfly Garden. The opening of the garden in the preserve will be celebrated with a butterfly release in honor of earth day. Keeping in line with the preserve's intention to become green we are always looking for ways to recycle, reuse and reclaim. The garden will be made with recycled tires as planters that will display butterfly bushes and butterfly attractant plants and weeds. The release will begin on Saturday, April 23 at 11:00 am with a short educational presentation and then a release of 60 butterflies.

Besides helping us provide a better life for our rescued animals, the Guardian Angel program is dedicated to providing all of our animals with a better life, funds generated on the gaurdian angel program are used to provide our animals with enrichment (toys, barrels, jungle gyms), habitat maitenance, pay veterinary bills and other expenses such as water pails that some of the cats like Cowboy like to destroy. We also take great pride in our tours that we give to our Guardian Angels, because it is our chance to educate the public on exotic animals, their role in the environment, and how we can all make a difference in local and global conservation.
