Shambala Preserve

Shambala Preserve

Shambala Preserve is wild animal preserve established in 1972 and located in Acton, California, a desert community 10 miles southwest of Palmdale, off of State Route 14 and Sierra Highway.

About

Shambala is maintained by the Roar Foundation, founded by actress Tippi Hedren in 1983 as a 501(C)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization . Shambala cares for endangered exotic big cats such as African lions, Siberian tigers and Bengal tigers, leopards, servals, mountain lions, bobcats, plus a lynx, and a Florida panther.

Most of the animals at Shambala were either born in captivity, orphans or no longer wanted at circuses, zoos or are given up by private owners who could no longer care for them. The animals are not wild and are human dependent for their needs. Shambala provides expert veterinarians for care. Carefully planned diets are supplied by Natural Balance Pet Foods.

While Shambala welcomes all volunteers, they may not work directly with the animals.
