International Cat Day at the OKC Zoo
The Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden is set to host International Cat Day on Saturday, July 6, highlighting its diverse collection of cat species and conservation efforts. Located at the Zoo's Lion Overlook and Cat Forest, the event, running from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., promises engaging activities for families such as the International Cat Day Olympics, educational talks by carnivore caretakers, and exclusive insights into animal care practices. Attendees will have the chance to observe animal enrichment, adopt a plush lion cub to support lion conservation, and learn about the Zoo's crucial role in saving animals from extinction through partnership programs.
Highlighting the zoo's commitment to conservation, the birth of five lion cubs adds excitement, offering guests a unique opportunity to view them via den camera. This day underscores the zoo's participative role in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Lion SAFE program, aiming to bolster the vulnerable African lion population and educate the public about threats they face in the wild.
