Meet & Greet Sponsorship Packages
For a $100 Sponsorship fee, you receive an opportunity to Meet & Greet the sponsored animal as well as learn more about it. All animals are eligible. Some of our larger animals are not suitable for a standard Meet & Greet including the Bobcat, Coyote, Mink, Snapping Turtles, Burmese Python, Monitor Lizards and a few others. For these animals a Behind-the-Scenes tour of the Wildlife Sanctuary, including a modified meet and greet with the sponsored animal will take place.
