Winter Feed Drive

As the cold temperature and bad weather begin to take Northern Nevada by storm the Sierra Safari Zoo must close admission gates and rely on the generosity of the community for all operating costs. Every winter Northern Nevadans have to put away their flip-flops, dust off the old snow tires, and prepare for the cold and unpredictable winter. The animals at Sierra Safari Zoo are no exception to the winter routine: the monkey’s come into their heated environment, the birds retire to the comfort of an indoor habitat and the alligator goes to her heated indoor pond. The zoo must close its doors to the public and prepare for a winter filled with sub-zero temperatures, unpredictable winds, and unknown financial support. The Sierra Safari Zoo needs the support of the entire community to make it through the winter to come.

The Sierra Safari Zoo needs at least $12,000.00 each month to keep its animals fed and sheltered. This year we have seen a rise in the cost of all our animal food; the price of hay is going up faster than gas, new babies being born means costly milk replacers, new safety concerns have caused our cat food to jump in cost as well.

Sierra Safari Zoo is Nevada’s largest zoo and the only zoo in Northern Nevada. Over the past eighteen years the Sierra Safari Zoo has become a very special part of Reno and has made great strides to make our beloved community a better, brighter more beautiful place for all. We are here to share our compassion for and knowledge about animals big and small.
