This year has brought extraordinary challenges for our zoo. Rising costs across all areas of animal care—particularly feed and bedding—have placed immense pressure on us but has not wavered our ability to maintain the high standards our animals deserve. Essential items such as a single bale of hay have now quadrupled in price, creating a steep and unexpected burden as we head into the colder months.

Our animals rely on warm, dry, comfortable bedding and consistent, high-quality nutrition every single day. With winter approaching, your support is more important than ever. Every contribution, no matter the size, directly helps us keep our animals safe, warm, and well cared for.

If you’re able, we warmly invite you to visit the zoo, meet the animals you’re supporting, and see the impact of your help firsthand. If you cannot visit, a donation to this campaign would make a meaningful difference.

Thank you for standing with us, and for helping ensure our animals have the secure, nurturing environment they depend on.

Every act of support truly matters.
