Jess arrived at Popcorn Park in December 2016 alongside her brother Eli after being rescued from an animal facility in Colorado. The facility housed over 100 animals, including 75 tigers, and when the owner’s health declined, Tigers in America and Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge stepped in to relocate the animals to permanent homes. Popcorn Park was honored to welcome Jess and Eli, giving them a safe and comfortable place to live.

While Eli settled in quickly, Jess took her time adjusting to her new surroundings. She was cautious at first, carefully exploring her den, pond, and large exercise yard. But once she got comfortable, her playful and energetic personality came through.

Jess is powerful and athletic, with sharp natural instincts that make her a true tiger at heart. She loves spending time in her pond, especially during the warm months when she enjoys swimming and splashing around. She’s also curious and playful, always engaging with her environment and keeping an eye on everything happening around her.

Though Eli is no longer by her side, Jess has made the space her own. She enjoys her independence but never misses the chance for a game or a good swim. Please consider sponsoring Jess and helping us provide the best life possible for her!
