A ZooParent Adoption not only makes the perfect gift, but it also supports the animals in our care. How? Proceeds from this program go directly toward important animal enrichment items ... like to balls, ropes and treats you see in
their exhibits.
Your generosity will allow zookeepers to offer our animals the physical and mental stimulation they would experience in the wild, while keeping the animals healthy and alert at the Zoo. Enrichment items provide choices, challenges, exercise and important socialization such as activities that mimic those necessary in the animal's natural habitat. Positive reinforcement forms strong, trusting relationships between animals and zookeepers which are vital for quality health care procedures.
See below for levels, benefits and minimum donations. You may adopt any Seneca Park Zoo animal.

These levels and donation amounts are intended for an individual, therefore one person will be recognized per donation. For adoptions involving more than one individual - a couple or family, a group or club or you child's classroom - please call (585) 336-7212 for
more information.
Adopted animals are part of a living collection and must remain in the care of the Zoo. Due to breeding programs, as well as the health of the animal, it may be necessary to transfer your support to another animal of the same species or of your choice. ZooParent adoptions are not refundable.
