Do you enjoy visiting with the snow leopards at Brookfield Zoo?

Mysterious, sleek, and adorable, Ahava is one of the newest show stoppers at Brookfield Zoo.

Now imagine having the opportunity to truly know her, and to play a key role in providing top-notch care for the animals of Brookfield Zoo by becoming Ahava'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 Ahava.

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

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

• A front of house chat in front of the snow leopard habitat with VIP parking, a cart tour and lunch for six.
• A Zoom chat or Birthday shout out with a member of Ahava'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 Ahava at the VIP Lead Patron level.

More about Ahava:
Ahava was born May 22, 2020, to mom Malaya and sire Buck. After spending her first few months behind the scenes bonding with her mom, she has spent the remainder of her first year exploring her habitat with mom Malaya. Active and playful, Ahava delighted guests throughout the winter as she experienced her first snowfalls. She is becoming more independent, but will stay with mom for another year or more to continue learning and growing. Ahava can be seen practicing her pouncing skills on her mom throughout the morning.
