A few days ago we told you how the cat sanctuary housing Michael Jackson‘s tigers Thriller and Sabu was in the path of the California wildfires.

Now, we learn another animal charity is threatened by the blazes.

Linda Blair runs a dog sanctuary in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles, the World Heart Foundation.

She’s getting anxious about the fires spreading and coming closer to the grounds.

“The last 24 hours have been incredibly scary and we are no where near being out of the woods. We have been informed that the containment dates for this fire, at this time, are going past Labor Day (07Sept09). This means we’ve got a ways to go (sic) before we aren’t on edge any more.”

Linda is asking for help if the fires reach the sanctuary.

“In terms of the evacuation itself – we are on pins and needles waiting for the word. Our biggest fear is getting the orders in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep. If you are willing to help load dogs in crates and transport to our evacuation spot and don’t mind getting called in the middle of the night please let us know.”

You can follow Linda’s updates on the sanctuary and the fires at lindablairworldheart.org.

This just in from TMZ.

The Shambala Preserve, where Michael Jackson’s old tigers Thriller and Sabu are housed, is close to where the California wildfires are taking place.

However, despite mandatory evacuations, sanctuary officials are not going anywhere.

“We house 64 big cats and it would be a logistical nightmare to bring all these cats down the road and get in the firefighters way of doing their job,” Tippi Hedren, owner of the sanctuary said.

The sanctuary staff plans to stay on the grounds with the tigers and ride the fire out.

What do you think?

Should there have been more emergency plans on part of the sanctuary in case of a situation like this?

Hard to move 64 tigers, but when you have a sanctuary in a place where you know disasters like these happens…kind of like buying ocean front property without flood insurance.

We hope things turn out okay.

Michael Jackson fans pay their respects

Actress and animal rights activist Tippi Hedren  volunteered to take in Michael Jackson’s tigers, Thriller and Sabu, after the singer could no longer keep them at his Neverland Ranch a few years ago.

The tigers live at the Roar Foundation Shambala Preserve.

“We have so suddenly lost one of the most beautiful and enchanting entertainers on our planet,” Hedren said.

“Michael Jackson was not only loved by the people of the world, for his incomparable talent, he was loved by the magnificent wild animals for which he provided the most beautiful home at his Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara, CA. We were thrilled to have Michael’s beloved tigers, Thriller and Sabu, join our pride here at Shambala when Michael needed a good home for them. Thriller and Sabu will always remind us of Michael.”

Shambala’s website offers pictures of the big cat friends to Thriller and Sabu, and offers a virtual tour of the preserve.
