Tippi Hedren - Screen legend - Animal activist
 Tippi Hedren actress and conservationist, star of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (and many others) serves as President of the Roar Foundation, guiding the organization's efforts to increase the public's knowledge about wildlife in our world, and provides guidance and leadership in maintaining the beautiful Shambala Preserve for the wild beings for whom this haven was established.
Shambala Preserve is maintained by the Roar Foundation, a 501(C)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt charitable organisation.
Tippi's most unique endeavour is being "den mother" and close friend to over 70 big cats; lion, Siberian & Bengal tiger, black & spotted leopard, serval, cheetah, bobcat, lynx, florida panther, snow leopard, jungle cat, Asian leopard cat, mountain lion, tigon & liger at The Roar Foundation's Shambala Preserve near Acton, California.
 The high desert animal preserve is home to the felines and pachyderms and was first established as an African-type set for the motion picture Roar, which Tippi co-produced and starred in with her daughter film actress Melanie Griffith.
Many of Shambala's residents are cast-offs from private owners, zoos and circuses. "They're living out their lives in safety and comfort"

ROAR FOUNDATION Mission Statement
The Roar Foundation supports The Shambala Preserve and shares its mission: To educate the public about exotic animals; to advocate for legislation to protect them; to provide sanctuary to exotic animals who have suffered from gross mistreatment and neglect - so they can regain their physical and mental health and live out their lives in dignity.
At Shambala there is no breeding, no buying, no selling, no trading. It is a true sanctuary. Membership and adoption programs are available. Preserve expenses can exceed $75,000 per month.
