Adopt Sabu – The Neverland Tiger

Four-Eyes-Logo

At MJVibe, we always try to keep tracks on Michael Jackson’s Neverland Animals.

In 2006, Sabu and Thriller, Michael Jackson’s 2 tigers arrived at the Shambala Preserve / The Roar Foundation to have the best life they can in captivity.

When Michael Jackson decided to close his zoo at his Neverland Valley Ranch in Los Olivos, California and place his animals at other facilities, he consulted with his animals’ long time zoological Veterinarian, Dr. Martin Dinnes and asked him which Sanctuary would make the best home for his tigers, “Thriller” and “Sabu”. A quality facility was Jackson’s priority. Dr. Dinnes took little time in suggesting The Roar Foundation’s Shambala Preserve.

In common with all the other animals Shambala takes in, which now total 70 non-domestic felines including leopards, lions, other tigers, servals, cheetah, mountain lions. These tigers from Neverland came with no endowment for their future care. Acceptance of these beautiful animals by The Shambala Preserve could not be taken lightly as it costs a great deal of money to properly care for them the rest of their lives. The lifetime commitment for these animals is over 20 years, therefore taking in these 7 year old tigers is more than a 13 year commitment. In any case, sadly, it is rare that support money comes with any of these animals.

Thriller unfortunately died of Lung cancer in 2012 but her memory lives on in the sanctuary.

There is a significant decrease of animals coming to the preserve which is an amazing thing as the movie industry is not exploiting wild animals as much as it used to be! But this means donations are ESSENTIAL for the animals on site!

MJVibe is calling on fans to donate to the Roar Foundation to keep the animals in good health. There is different ways to do this:

  • You can visit the Shambala Preserve and meet Sabu – For more information CLICK HERE
  • You can donate by CLICKING HERE

All helps are welcome to keep Sabu and his friends happy for the rest of their lives so don’t be shy and donate what you can!
