Michael Jackson’s Neverland tigers Thriller and Sabu have had a home at actress Tippi Hedren’s Shambala Preserve since 2005, and the star speaks out to ET about the late King of Pop’s precious-but-dangerous jungle cats.
"He was having a lot of financial problems with his life that were just horrible for him," Tippi tells ET. "When he made the decision to leave Neverland he asked his longtime veterinarian, Dr. Martin Dennis, who is also one of our veterinarians to find the best homes in the state for [his] giraffe, orangutans and the tigers, so they came here."
Tippi says that she had never met Michael, and the two were supposed to meet for lunch a couple years ago so he could visit the male and female tigers, but she says he had to cancel the visit.

Michael looked just as good as I saw him 15 years ago; he was strong."
