Jill Carnegie & Jim Tomasi shelter abused & abandoned exotic pets on a 10-acre sanctuary.

Lions, tigers, a bear…and a camel, wolves, llamas—even a tortoise! All of these animals have found their way to the Valley of the Kings Sanctuary and Retreat in southeastern Wisconsin. For more than 43 years Jill Carnegie and Jim Tomasi have provided a home for unwanted, abused, or injured exotic animals of all kinds on their 10-acre sanctuary in rural Walworth County.
