The RoaR FoundaTion, founded in 1983 by Tippi Hedren, exists solely to support The Shambala Preserve. Our mission is to educate the public about the dangers of private ownership of exotic animals. Huge numbers of exotic dangerous animals are bred and sold in the United States for illegal purposes. Pri- vate ownership presents a grave danger to the public, and is cruel and unfair to these animals. More stringent legislation is needed to prohibit breeding and selling. We are actively involved on federal and state levels. Shambala is now home to more than 60 big cats and has provided lifelong sanctary to lion, tiger, cougar, black and spotted leopard, serval, bob- cat, Asian leopard cat, snow leopard, cheetah, lynx, tigon, African elephants and one magnificent liger. All have come to the preserve after confiscation by authorities, such as California Fish and Game, U.S. De- partment of Agriculture, ASPCAs, and Humane Soci- eties. They are from roadside zoos and private citizens who realize they have purchased an animal they can no longer handle. The exotic cat trade is a huge business, just under illegal drugs, according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Once an animal is brought to Shambala, it remains here for the remainder of its life. As a true sanctuary, we do not buy, breed, sell, trade or subject them to commercial use. Our only purpose is to al- low these magnificent animals to live out their lives with love and dignity. Each has the best human, nutri- tional, medical, emotional and mental care possible. There are many ways you can support The Roar Foundation: You can join our PRIDE by becoming a member; become a Wild Parent through our adoption program; donate an item from our Wish List; attend a Safari Tour; visit The Shambala Boutique; volun- teer; and for a truly memorable experience spend an entire night in one of our authentic African Tents! One special weekend a month, we open our gates to the public for a small donation (by reservation only). ALL GUESTS MUST BE 18 YEARS OR OLDER. Screen star, Tippi Hedren may be most noted for her starring roles in Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” and “Marnie”, but it was the movie “Roar” that would become the genesis of The Shambala Preserve. When filming was complete, Ms. Hedren transformed the “Roar” movie set into a safe haven for abused, abandoned or un- wanted exotic cats. Most were rescued from deplorable situations. For over 25 years, Tippi Hedren, in addition to serving as President of The Roar Foundation has tirelessly campaigned to pass legislation to prevent illicit breeding of exotic cats as pets. The “Captive Wild- life Safety Act”, which Tippi co-authored, was passed by the Senate and the House and signed by President Bush on December 19, 2003. Ms. Hedren’s next bill “The Federal Ban on Breeding Exotic Feline for Personal Possession” is in mark-up in Washington D.C as of June 2008.

At Shambala, there is a very special educational program for students. Whether Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, or school groups, there are wonderful lessons for them to learn. Our trained professional staff conducts a walking tour of the preserve that is home to captive-born wild animals. As the lions roar and the tigers chuff, the students get a first-hand lesson on the habits and history of these beautiful creatures. Their questions are answered and they meet a variety of exotic cats, such as African lion, tiger, leopard, serval, mountain lion and liger.

When a new “Wild One” arrives at Shambala, there is often the opportunity for school children to write essays about the animal.

The adults will also learn of the legislative needs that would ban the illegal ownership of exotic cats. They will also become aware of the “Captive Wildlife Safety Act”, passed by President Bush in December, 2003, due in great part, to the tireless efforts of Tippi Hedren and The Roar Foundation. This bill prevents the transport of these exotic animals over state lines and emphasizes why it is so important that these beautiful creatures never be-come a family “pet”.

“ADOPT A WILD ONE” PROGRAM Our Adopt-A-Wild One program is a very unique and spe-cial experience. As an adoptive parent you will have the exclusive privilege of visiting your “Wild One” on Parent’s Day, current-ly the first Saturday of the month. You can show off your Wild One by bringing 2 guests per year. You will walk around with the animal crew and the other adoptive parents and watch as your special wild one gets a femur bone (for the very low cost of $10 each) and you will delight in seeing your animal enjoy this deli-cious treat! You may bring a picnic lunch and after the animals get their bones, you may go to Lake Shambala to eat and enjoy the company of the other adoptive parents. When you choose to adopt one of our wild ones, your contri-bution helps support the vital work we do in providing a wonder-fully safe haven for animals who have previously been abused, abandoned, or forced into acting careers, etc. The first step in joining the distinctive group of Adoptive Par-ents is to choose your Wild One. After your third monthly pay-ment you will receive an 8”x10” photo of your Wild One, and a Certificate of Adoption signed by Tippi Hedren. When you visit on Parent’s Day a member of the Shambala animal crew will be happy to tell you about the characteristics of the species and the individual personality traits of your special animal.

Please consider adopting one of our dear Wild Ones. The cost is so small and the rewards are immeasurable.
