The Rescue of Tom Quinn......
Tom Quinn was rescued at the age of 13 months suffering from starvation and neglect. His entire body was hairless because of severe ringworm that his prior owners left untreated.

RICK JAMES
 | Rick James is a neutered tiger who lives peacefully with two other tigers. Without a doubt, Rick James has been the sweetest temperament of any tiger at the EARS Sanctuary. His habitat covers nearly an acre and is an indication of our commitment to the animals.

NORMAN
Our precious Norman (a wonderful tiger) came to EARS with a facial deformity, having as a cub, previously suffered a terrible and untreated beating from a very bad person who crushed Norman's lower jaw. He developed gangrene and lost most of his lower jaw. Fortunately, someone heard of Norman's ordeal & rescued him and Jaye brought him to our Florida sanctuary. Norman's age is unknown, however we, his caregivers are sure he is no "spring chicken." When Norman first started displaying signs of his age, we started adding glucosamine/chondroitin to his daily diet. This additive has certainly proven to enhance his quality of life.
While visiting the sanctuary that rescued Norman, our EARS president, Jaye, met Norman, and there was an immediate trust between them. Jaye visited Norman often, took him toys, and spent precious time with him; and a bond soon formed.
The facility where Norman lived took very good care of him, but Jaye wanted more for him. She felt that with all Norman had been through, he should have a large turn-out with a pond, so that he could run and swim. The owner of the sanctuary recognized the bond that Norman and Jaye had, and she knew that Norman would have a great home at EARS, Inc.
Norman was so nervous on his journey to EARS that Jaye rode with him in the transport trailer, talking with and reassuring him for the entire trip.
When Norman arrived at EARS, he was released in his very own, large turn-out. Norman's pen is so large that he actually thought he was free. He ran, played with his toys, and jumped in the pond for a swim. Needless to say, it was a wonderful day at the EARS Sanctuary.
Norman is now living at EARS, and will have a safe home for the rest of his life. He is the kindest and most loving of all the cats. It is hard to believe that he is as gentle as he is, with the horrible experiences he endured as a cub. Ears, Inc. is honored to have the opportunity to care for this magnificent tiger.

RAJAH
Rajah came to EARS with cataracts in both eyes. He had lost most of his sight. Gail Bowen fell in love with Rajah's charm, grace, and beauty, and could not let him suffer any longer. She felt the urgent need to help Rajah's worsening eyesight. Without hesitation, Gail decided to let the doctor perform corrective surgery on Rajah, and to pay the high medical costs herself.

SULTAN
Baby Sultan SULTAN
Sultan found a home at EARS because he was bred for bigger and better things, however the breeder soon found out that solid white tigers no longer bring in the money they once did. Sultan now lives peacefully, in his own private habitat. He can plainly see other tigers from his vantage point, and he is provided with fresh enrichment each and every day. Ironically, this snow tiger, really likes playing in the mud!

TIENOMEN
Tiennomen came from a good home, but being the only tiger, the owners could not
afford the expensive insurance and permits to keep him. He’s an extremely gentle
and sweet boy.

ZHIVAH
Meet our beautiful mascot Zhivah. A very special tiger to Jaye Perrett, one of the EARS founders. When younger, Zhivah sat with Jaye in the house and together they watched Animal Planet.

DUKE
One of the members of the big cat family of EARS is Duke. Even though Duke originally came from a good home where he received all necessary for survival, he was no longer needed. All of his human caretakers truly love this mild-mannered tiger.Duke loves to take bubble baths and will churn up the water if there aren't enough bubbles to suit him.

SAVANNAH
 | In February 2004 we received a call from the United States Department of Agriculture asking if it would be possible for EARS to accept a tiger which they were confiscating from someone in Alabama. Without reservation, Savannah was accepted into the family at EARS. She arrived thin, frightened, and weak. But now she is a fine example of a healthy and happy tiger.

TABBY
The tiger to the right is a picture of Tabby. Tabby was placed at the sanctuary by a family in North Carolina, which no longer wanted the responsibility of owning tigers. We happily accepted Tabby, and her brother Haus. Sadly, Haus passed away a few years ago.
