Gifts that Make a Difference: The Little Rock Zoo's Holiday Wishlist

Enrichment items from the Amazon wishlist

LITTLE ROCK (November 21, 2024) - The holiday season is a time of giving and gratitude, and what better way to spread joy than by supporting the residents of the Little Rock Zoo? This year, we're inviting you to make a meaningful impact through gifts that support our animals' care, enrichment, and conservation. 

1. Check Out Our Amazon Wishlists

Our animals thrive when their environments are filled with enrichment items that stimulate their minds and keep them active. From puzzle feeders to chew toys and foraging materials, these items mimic natural behaviors and keep our animals engaged. Visit our Animal Enrichment Amazon Wishlist to see what’s on their list and help make their holiday extra special. Every item purchased goes directly to enhancing the daily lives of our animal residents.

In addition, we have a Penguin Chick Amazon Wishlist specifically tailored to the needs of our newest penguin hatchlings. Your contribution helps provide the specialized care and enrichment items necessary for these little ones to grow and thrive.

If you choose to contribute, please notify us at zoopartner@littlerock.gov so we can be on the lookout for your generous gift!

Important Note: While enrichment can sometimes include household items, each donation goes through a thorough preparation process before being given to the animals. For the safety and health of our residents, please never bring or offer food or other items directly to any of the animals at the Zoo.

2. Give a Gift to Support Conservation

Your financial contributions are crucial in maintaining the well-being of our animal residents. Donations help fund essential aspects of the Zoo, from veterinary care and specialized diets to the development of enrichment programs and conservation initiatives.

• Conservation Donations: Support vital conservation programs that protect species both at the Zoo and in their natural habitats.
• Husbandry Donations: Help ensure our animals receive top-notch care and specialized training that promotes their health and well-being.
• Enrichment Donations: Enrichment is key to the physical and mental health of our animals. Your contributions will help provide interactive toys, climbing structures, and other tools to keep them curious and content.
