🐆 What to Expect at Big Cat Weekend
Get ready to meet the stars of the show — Elbroch and Olympia, two orphaned puma cubs who just started exploring their new home in Big Cat Falls. But that’s just the beginning:
🦁 Special Keeper Talks & Feedings – Watch lions, tigers, and leopards enjoy enrichment activities while keepers share insider info.
🐅 Design Your Own Enrichment – Create toys or puzzles for your favorite big cat.
🐆 Be a Big Cat Scientist – Name a “newly discovered” puma and learn about conservation efforts.
👃 Smell What the Cats Smell – Discover why scents are a key part of their daily care.
😻 Why We’re Excited
Here at Stray Cat News, we’ve got nothing against house cats (obviously), but there’s something awe-inspiring about watching their giant cousins up close. Seeing puma cubs take their first steps in a new habitat? That’s the kind of memory that sticks with you.
📲 How to Get the Details
🐾 Activities are included with the price of your zoo ticket — so all you need to do is show up and prepare for feline greatness.
