Support a Species
Featuring an evolving lineup of beloved animals found at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Support a Species connects donors like you with the Zoo’s nationally recognized animal care program.
Featured Animal: Snow leopard
The Zoo’s animal care program focuses on all dimensions of exceptional care — from the nutrient-dense foods the animals eat, to thoughtful habitat elements and enrichment opportunities, to innovative research that informs best-in-class management practices. The commitment to animal health at both the individual and population level goes beyond the basics of biological and ecological needs, addressing myriad other factors including stress reduction, gut health, and group dynamics.
Support a Species donors help maintain a thriving Zoo. Contributions of all amounts are accepted, and all donors receive a PDF fact sheet and fillable certificate attached to their confirmation email.
Special thanks to local partners Wild Republic and Peppermint Narwhal for donating featured plush and exclusive pin.
