A resident of the New York Metropolitan Area, Ted Vitale is the recipient of a BA in accounting from Monmouth University in New Jersey. The CEO of Petore Construction, Ted Vitale has contributed to a number of charities and nonprofit groups, including Carolina Tiger Rescue.
Currently, Carolina Tiger Rescue provides shelter and care for about 10 different wildlife species that are native to various parts of the world. In recent years, the majority of these species, including tigers, have been exposed to drastic population declines, resulting in their becoming endangered species. Gradually, the natural habitats of these species are being destroyed, leaving the animals exposed to various risks such as poaching, in addition to lack of shelter. According to Carolina Tiger Rescue, protection of these natural habitats is imperative. The ultimate goal of the organization is to conserve the species while ongoing wild habitat propagation efforts provide suitable natural habitats where animals can thrive.
In addition to cats like tigers and lions, Carolina Tiger Rescue provides protection and shelter for species like the leopard, kinkajou, caracal, and coatimundi. The majority of the animals cared for are those whose habitat has been fragmented and destroyed. Regardless of the circumstances they came from, all the aforementioned species are wild and deserve opportunities to thrive in their natural habitats.
