Are the Amur leopards your favorite part about visiting Brookfield Zoo?

Stealthy, playful, and curious, Sasha is a predator in training with a youthful spirit.

Now imagine having the opportunity to truly know him, and to play a key role in providing top-notch care for the animals of Brookfield Zoo by becoming Sasha's VIP Lead Patron.

Although supported by many zoo guests through our animal adoption program, we are offering the opportunity to be the VIP Lead Patron for Sasha.

What would this look like?
There are so many reasons to take part in this exclusive opportunity!

As Sasha's VIP Lead Patron, your family name will be on display at the Amur leopard habitat for one year (beginning July 1, 2021). You will have special VIP access, allowing you to truly get to know this flamboyant feline. This includes:

• A front of house chat in front of the Amur leopard habitat with VIP parking, a cart tour and lunch for six.
• A Zoom chat or Birthday shout out with a member of Sasha's animal care team.
• Regular video and written updates - allowing you up close and personal (but safe!) face to face access.
• Additionally, you'll receive photos, cards, and name recognition in the Chicago Zoological Society's Annual Report.

You can help make a difference by sponsoring Sasha at the VIP Lead Patron level.

More about Sasha:
Sasha was born March 3, 2020, to mom Lisa and sire Kasha. After spending his first few months behind the scenes bonding with his mom, he has spent the remainder of his first year exploring his habitat and learning from his mom. Active and playful, Sasha will soon begin practicing his independence with time away from Lisa - which will prepare him for the solitary life that adult Amur leopards prefer. Sasha is coming into his own as he approaches adulthood. He is a very interactive Amur leopard that loves to train with the animal care staff. He is known to shred enrichment, and sometimes spy on his neighbors-the lions.
