Sponsor an Animal with our Foster Feeder Program

You Can Make a Difference!

Foster Feeders are very special people who take their favorite Zoo animals "under their wing" and sponsor them for a year. Contributions to the Foster Feeder program are used to offset the Zoo’s animal food costs. Choose your favorite Zoo animal and sponsor them as long as you like by making a yearly gift.

Foster Feeder Sponsorships make unforgettable gifts for birthdays, graduations, holidays, or any day! Your gift recipient will enjoy being a Foster Feeder, and you will feel good about supporting the Zoo.
