TIPPI HEDREN

Movie Actress and owner
of the Shambala Preserve
in Acton, CA

Back to Top

From Hitchcock and Chaplin to Ed Wood, Jr., and from drama and terror to droll comedy, the career of actress Tippi Hedren has been meteoric, and eclectic.

But perhaps Tippi Hedren's most unique endeavor is being "den mother" and close friend to sixty-odd big cats - lions, tigers, leopards, cougars, and servals at The Roar Foundation's Shambala Preserve near Acton, California.

Perched on the edge of the Mojave Desert, forty miles northeast of Los Angeles, California, Shambala is a surprising paradise and the only wild animal preserve of its kind in the United States. Since 1972, this unique eighty acre wildlife habitat has provided a haven for endangered exotic big cats. Currently, almost seventy animals live at Shambala, including African lions, Siberian and Bengal tigers, leopards, servals, mountain lions, bobcats, a lynx, and a Florida panther.
