Tippi Hedren

During the 1960s,

Tippi Hedren became one of the most famous stars in Hollywood. Tippi began her

career as a fashion model. This led her to appear in some TV advertisements,

including a fateful appearance in an advert for a diet drink. World famous

director Alfred Hitchcock spotted Tippi in the advert; he picked her to star in

one of his most famous films ‘The Birds’. When the film came out, Tippi was a

hit with the public and the critics.

In 1972, Tippi was

finishing a film made on location in Africa. She learnt that the big cats

featured in the film had nowhere to go. The situation distressed Tippi and she

desperately wanted to help these animals. Tippi decided to take a time out from

the glamourous world. She wanted to set up an eighty-acre wildlife habitat

called Shambala for retired and unwanted big cats. This territory was located

at the edge of the Mojave Desert, 64 kilometres northeast of Los Angeles,

California.

Shambala is not just

a temporary shelter; the sanctuary provides a home for over 70 big cats

including lions, tigers, cougars, black and spotted leopards, panthers,

bobcats, and a jungle cat. Some of the rescued cats had suffered neglect and

mistreatment in roadside zoos and circus shows. But most came from the homes of

private citizens who realized they had purchased an animal they couldn’t keep.

The public can enjoy

occasional safari visits to Shambala and can even ‘adopt a wild one’.

They can visit it at the reserve a few times each year. Tippi hopes that one

day sanctuaries like Shambala won’t be necessary. But for now, her work to

protect these beautiful creatures goes on.
