Caring for Animals Together This GivingTuesday

UPDATE: We did it! Thanks to your amazing generosity we exceeded all three $5,000 challenge match goals, raising $39,502 and counting for animal care at your Zoos! Thank you for caring and giving this holiday season.

GivingTuesday is a global celebration of generosity, where people around the world come together to spread kindness, support the causes they love, and make a difference in their communities and beyond.

At Zoo New England, care is at the heart of everything we do. This GivingTuesday, your generosity can help us go even further! Every gift provides the animals you know and love with exceptional care, from their nutritious meals and health checkups to enrichment activities that keep them happy and thriving.

Your support is especially meaningful for some of our newest residents - Obi the Poitou donkey foal and Maple and Willow, our cougar sisters! Together, we can ensure they, and all the incredible animals at your Zoos, receive the love and care they deserve this giving season.

Here's how your kindness can make a difference:

$25: Enrich the cougar sisters' habitat with scents that spark exploration and curiosity by stimulating their exploratory and hunting behaviors.
$50: Feed Obi a week's worth of healthy carrots, alfalfa, beets, and milk replacer to grow up strong.
$100: Outfit our donkey and horse stalls with Jolly Ball horse toys, stall snacks, and scratching pads to keep them active and engaged.
$500: Provide a hand-rearing consultation to ensure Obi receives the proper nutrition and companionship he needs as his dedicated animal care team raises him in his mother's absence.
$1,000: Supply protein-packed meals for Maple and Willow all month long - and join our President's Circle giving society for leadership donors with benefits like behind-the-scenes tours!

Your gift of any size will make a big difference for animals this GivingTuesday. Each donation directly supports the well-being of Obi, Maple, Willow, and all the animals who call your Zoos home. Your generosity helps provide the expert care they need to thrive, from nourishing meals to enriching activities and vital medical services.

Thank you for caring and giving!

Meet Obi

Born on August 8, Obi is Franklin Park Zoo's adorable Poitou donkey foal. After losing his mother to health complications, Obi has thrived under the care of our dedicated team and with companionship from Betty, our Morgan horse. He loves bamboo snacks, learning to walk on a lead, and brightening the day of everyone he meets! Follow us for updates on his public debut.

Meet Maple and Willow

These curious cougar sisters recently celebrated their first birthday! Orphaned as cubs, they came to Stone Zoo from California and quickly stole our hearts. Maple and Willow enjoy climbing structures, "fishing" for frozen treats, and scratching up cardboard. Look closely to spot the difference - Willow has darker markings and a pinker nose than Maple!
