Hedren with a three-legged cheetah she rescued

Have you ever heard a mountain lion purr? You will in this story. Actress Tippi Hedren takes us on a tour of her Shambala Big Cat Preserve near Los Angeles, where she lives with dozens of lions, tigers, cougars and other wild cats that she rescued from abuse and neglect. Tippi says it’s as easy to order tigers, lions or other exotic animals over the Internet or through covert dealers as it is to buy a CD. She’s made it her life’s mission to stop the illegal trade in endangered cats.
