Join us in building Menderu a new home
As loyal Zoo supporters, we always want to share exciting news with you first! As part of the Zoo’s masterplan, Menderu, our beloved Malayan tiger, is getting a reimagined and more spacious habitat for him to play and roam. In addition, Shelby the fossa receives a new state-of-the-art habitat in the Madagascar realm. We have retained a world-renowned zoo habitat designer to develop the conceptual drawings for each habitat. This news isn’t public quite yet, we hope to announce it in 2025.
If you have been to the Charles Paddock Zoo recently, you’ve seen fantastic changes throughout the park. The Friends of the Charles Paddock Zoo (FCPZ) has been working with our new Zoo Director, Dr. Cynthia Stringfield, in supporting the many updates at the Zoo, and we are really excited about forward momentum that has been happening!
With Giving Tuesday coming up on December 3rd, we are inviting you to be an early and integral part of the positive changes at The Charles Paddock Zoo by choosing the Zoo as a recipient of your year-end giving. Every donation will go directly to the tiger expansion and Madagascar realm, no money will be diverted to admin or overhead costs of running the FCPZ. Your generosity will make a HUGE impact for Menderu the tiger and Shelby the fossa. And, you will help create better guest experiences for generations to come!
