Cat Conservation Day
Calling all superheroes, comic fans, and cat enthusiasts! You won’t want to miss Cat Conservation Day at the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park on Friday, August 14th from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Proceeds from this family-friendly event will support conservation of threatened and endangered cat species around the world, including African lions and snow leopards, through SAFE: Saving Animals from Extinction. This event is free with regular zoo admission.
We’re asking guests to “suit up” and be Superheroes for Conservation by wearing superhero masks and capes, putting on a pair of cat ears, and showing us your best cosplays and costumes! Any and all superhero and/or cat-themed clothing and accessories are welcome – we can’t wait to see your super-themed gear! – and some of our very own “Zooper Heroes” will make appearances throughout the day, too.
An assortment of pawsome activities will be available around the zoo. Guests can enjoy arts and crafts, games, temporary tattoos, educational displays, and a fun scavenger hunt activity featuring our very own cats. Weather permitting, Face Painting by Lori & Friends and carousel rides will be available for purchase, and our new bounce house with slide will be available for kids to enjoy, too, thanks to Dan Dery of Shefchiks’ Energy Services. A cat-themed merchandise sales table will offer a variety of items for sale to raise funds for conservation.
Be here early to see our African Lion Chat at 9:15 a.m., where Loid and Anga will enjoy toys in their yard. A Snow Leopard Chat at 11:00 a.m. will feature scent-related enrichment, and a Canada Lynx Chat at 1:00 p.m. will give guests the opportunity to learn more about some of Wisconsin’s native cats.
