What is a Foster Feeder?
Foster Feeders are very special people who take their favorite Zoo animals “under their wing” and sponsor them for a year. More than 400 animals from around the world call the Santa Barbara Zoo home. With that many mouths to feed, the Zoo’s annual food bill is more than $160,000. You can maintain your Foster Feeder Sponsorship as long as you like by giving annual dues. Contributions to the Foster Feeder Program are used to offset the Zoo’s animal food costs.
