🍂 Fall is Just Around the Corner at Plumpton Park Zoo! 🦬

Want to support our veterinary team as they prepare for fall and winter care? 🩺🐾 Follow this link to help make a difference: https://givebutter.com/O2JXon

Last autumn, our dedicated veterinary team was hard at work providing hoof trims for some of our hoofed residents — including our beloved 15-year-old American Bison, Little Bear! 🐾 Regular hoof care is essential for the health and comfort of cattle. It helps prevent lameness, ensures proper weight distribution, and keeps our animals moving with ease.

This year, our vet staff is gearing up for fall vaccinations, a vital part of our preventative care program. Vaccines play a crucial role in protecting each animal, supporting endangered species conservation, and ensuring the overall safety and wellbeing of the zoo’s residents.

Frankie is still enjoying his frozen treats made by our amazing keepers and interns, but we’re already preparing for the colder months ahead! ❄️🐾

As winter approaches, we’re seeking donations of gently used blankets, towels, pillowcases, and even stuffed animals to help keep our animals warm and comfortable. These items not only provide cozy bedding, but are also incredibly useful during transport and cleaning.
If you have any linens you’re looking to part with, we’d love to give them a second life! You can drop them off at our admissions building, and our staff will make sure they’re put to good use.

Thank you in advance for your kindness and support — every donation makes a difference! ❤️

Edit: thank you to our community for your incredible generosity! Our cabinets are filled up and ready for winter!
