Special Needs:
New Tiger
Compounds
The Roar Foundation on the behalf of the Shambala Preserve needs to raise $75,000 in order to pay
for the construction of two tiger compounds.
There are currently 68 exotic cats living in 44
compounds at Shambala. Of those, 6 are
young tigers who were rescued from a facility in 2002 and 2003. An
additional young tiger came from a private owner who had the tiger declawed.
As tigers age, they frequently become more solitary
and often can no longer live with their compound mates. Until
recently, three of the young tigers, Alexander, Dakota and Stella were
living together in one compound. In order to protect them from harm,
Alexander was moved into a compound where he can live alone.
In all likelihood, many of the other young tigers
as they age will also need to be put into individual compounds. There is
a particular concern about the declawed tiger, Simba, who is currently living with Zoe
Tiger and Mona, both of whom have claws.
There are no empty compounds at this time. If
the Roar Foundation on the behalf of the Shambala
Preserve is able to raise $75,000 it will be possible to build two new
compounds which will provide the young tigers places
to live if they can no longer live with their compound mates.
We are requesting that all of you who love the Wild
Ones at the Shambala Preserve contribute as much
as you can to assist the Roar Foundation in
paying for the new compounds. Please send your donations to: The
Roar Foundation,
