Originally known as the Carnivore Preservation Trust, the Carolina Tiger Rescue or CPT, is an animal sanctuary in Pittsboro, North Carolina. It is home to Binturongs, Caracals, Kinkajous, Ocelots, Servals, and Tigers. The CPT was incorporated in 1981 by Dr. Michael Bleyman, a geneticist at UNC, as a breeding facility for carnivores that were vanishing keystone species — species critical to the survival of their ecosystem. CPT's intent was to keep a viable population of these animals in trust until their home habitats were sufficiently protected to support them again. The CPT is funded by corporate sponsors, revenue from tours and gift shop sales as well as private donations including cash and in-kind donations. Fruit is donated by local grocers and chicken is obtained from area chicken processing plants at a significant discount. Some funding comes from employees donations through workplace giving campaigns via Earth Share of North Carolina.
