Tippi Hedren’s big cat sanctuary in danger
The Roar Foundation Shambala Preserve is Tippi Hedren’s big cat sanctuary. It is located 6 miles east of Acton, California and is currently under mandatory fire evacuation. The fire officials have decided against moving the 64+ big cats as it would be a logistical nightmare. So far the cats have not panicked but the fire is moving in their direction rapidly.
Tippi founded the sanctuary many years ago. For those of you who are unaware of who Tippi Hedren is, she was a blockbuster actress in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Her daughter is Melanie Griffith.
Our wishes and prayers are with the big cats during this fearful time.
