More than a year after the infamous show debuted on Netflix, all the big cats have been removed from Tiger King Park in Oklahoma.
Ten of those animals, one of whom gave birth to three kittens following the rescue, now reside at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
The Oklahoma zoo’s beginnings and its legacy were showcased in the final episode of the Netflix true-crime documentary series, Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness.
The zoo was previously owned by Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known as Joe Exotic. The big cats were removed from current owners Jeffrey and Lauren Lowe. According to a news release from Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, a federal judge ordered the Lowes in January to surrender all big cats and cubs to the government.

Kelly Arbaugh, a 58-year-old executive assistant for a wealth management firm outside of Philadelphia, was tired of paying $300 a month for internet and cable TV service and this year became one of the thousands of U.S. households that cut the pay-TV cord each month.
But breaking up with your favorite channels is hard to do, so Arbaugh turned to Google for help. “I asked, ‘How can I get the Hallmark Channel and UPtv without cable?’”
The search turned up Frndly TV, a Denver-based streaming service that offers a modest number of channels including her favorites starting at $5.99 a month. The name conveyed what Arbaugh was looking for: an inexpensive subscription with “family-friendly” programming that will never earn Emmy nominations or raves from TV critics but soothes her after a long day.
