Finalist in the 2024 Tigers in America-Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries annual photo and video contest to celebrate International Tiger Day.

“Kamali came to Cedarhill from a pseudo sanctuary in south Texas that was downsizing their tiger population. We believe that she was used for breeding with cub petting possibly. She’s very untrusting of humans that she doesn’t know. She’s been at Cedarhill since the winter of 2017. We’ve watched her blossom into a wonderfully happy tiger. MUCH different from when she arrived a snarling roaring angry tiger. We are so overjoyed to see her in her place of contentment.”
