We are happy to share that we raised $300 for our friends at the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens to support the care of sloths recently taken in by their team that arrived in poor condition. The check was proudly presented by one of our own sloths, CC, adding a very special connection between sloth friends near and far.

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped support the dedicated staff providing these animals with specialized care, treatment, and a safe place to recover. We are proud to support fellow zoo professionals and the important work they do for animals in need. 🦥💚

Rescue stories don’t end the moment animals are saved — in many ways, that’s just the beginning. 🦥💚

Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens recently welcomed a large group of rescued sloths that arrived in heartbreaking condition. Many require extensive veterinary care, proper nutrition, and constant monitoring as they begin their road to recovery.

The zoo’s animal care team is doing everything they can to give these sloths the safe, healthy future they deserve — but rescue and rehabilitation efforts like this are expensive. That’s why we’re raising money to help support their mission and directly assist with the care of these animals.

You can support the sloths by donating to our chapter through PayPal or Venmo (message us for details), or by stopping by our table on May 16th during Conservation Celebration at the Staten Island Zoo alongside this year’s Staten Island BioBlitz. We’ll have merchandise and goodies available, with every purchase helping fund the sloths’ care.

Together, we can help turn a difficult beginning into a brighter future. 🌿
