Cats at the Castle guests will find "Where the Wild Things Are" at the seventh annual benefit for Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge on April 21 at Castle Rogue's Manor in Eureka Springs.
The nonprofit organization's mission is to "provide lifetime refuge for abandoned, abused and neglected big cats, with emphasis on tigers, lions, leopards and cougars," that make up most of the sanctuary's population. The sanctuary is also home to a dozen bears, a macaw, a white-nosed coatimundi and a rhesus macaque.
