The holidays can be wonderful … and they can also be a lot. So here’s a moment of pure seasonal joy: a handful of curious kittens discovering festive décor for the very first time. May their tiny paw-bops and big bright eyes lift your spirits today.

Fargo’s facial expressions never fail to make us laugh but what we can’t quite pin down is what’s going on inside his head. Did he forget to take the laundry out of the washer before leaving the house? Is he trying to remember where he knows you from? Is he attempting to process some strange news?

We will never get over the joy of seeing a shelter pet thriving in their new home. Bubba Barx’s new family shared: "We wanted to let you know that Bubba Barx is the sweetest boy ever! My family and I are so in love. He truly is the sweetest boy. Thank you all so much for all the work you guys do!"

Christmas came early for pets at our Escondido Campus as Santa Claws (or should we say, Santa PAWS) stopped by to spread some holiday cheer! They proudly told him they’ve been exceptionally good this year … and that their only holiday wish is a home for the holidays.

Well, this is a first for our Project Wildlife team! We recently released a hoary bat back into the wild, but before saying goodbye, we fitted him with something pretty special: a lightweight Motus tracking transmitter. Basically, a tiny backpack… or as we like to call it, a BATpack.

Pumpkins may be a fall décor staple for humans, but for our Escondido Campus farm crew? They’re more of a smash-and-snack situation. Our staff surprised our adoptable pigs and roosters with a fun-filled, pumpkiny treat while they await their new homes —and let’s just say…enthusiasm levels were high.

Fifty-two and feelin’ brand new! It’s not every day we get to throw a hippo-sized party, but when it’s Hannah Shirley’s birthday, we have to go BIG! To honor our beloved queen in the best way possible, the team at our Ramona Wildlife Center put together a Hungry Hungry Hippos-themed celebration.

What an unBEARlievable moment! The bear cubs at our Ramona Wildlife Center were gifted an enormous 120lb pumpkin thanks to a generous donor — and it's safe to say they were thrilled to take on the world’s most adorable demolition project. 🐻🎃

We can’t say it enough — fostering makes all the difference, especially for cats like Suess. When he arrived in our care, he was shut down. Our team reached out to one of our veteran cat fosters, Carol and within a single day in her home, Suess began to transform. Just look at him snuggling up!
