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 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.
