Have an ant-astic Halloween, everyone! 🎃🐜

Happy to our Catio residents Ferguson, Oreo, and Wimpy Kid! Our Catio cats serve as ambassadors to remind our guests of the importance of adopting not shopping, responsible pet ownership, and keeping your cats indoors, or in catios, to help protect local wildlife.

Through this exhibit, we are proud to support the AZA SAFE North American Songbird initiative and highlight how conservation begins right at home. As much as we love our feline companions, free-roaming domestic cats are responsible for billions of bird fatalities in the U.S. every year. By opting for an outdoor catio or harness training your pet, you create a safe win-win: keeping your cat happy and healthy while ensuring local songbird populations can flourish.

Safe travels, Ren! Our girl made sure to enjoy one of her favorite treats before heading off to her new home last week!

Ren has moved to another AZA-accredited zoo to support the Matschie's Tree Kangaroo Species Survival Plan (SSP)! These transfers play a vital role in genetic diversity and species conservation for these incredible animals. ❤️
