A North Alabama wildlife preserve celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2025, boasting a collection now totaling more than 175 animals.
The nonprofit, Tigers for Tomorrow at Untamed Mountain in Attalla, Alabama, relocated in 2005 from Florida. It has grown into one of the Southeast’s top wildlife destinations as home to big cats, wolves and bears, according to a press release from its founder and executive director, Susan Steffens.
Federal records show the preserve first attained its nonprofit status with the IRS in 1999.
“We are so thankful for our supporters, visitors, volunteers and local partners who have stood beside us over the past two decades,” Steffens said in the press release. “Everything you see here — the animals’ care, their habitats, the visitor experience — has been made possible through your continued support. What looks good on paper looks even better when you’re here.”
