Come see a lion cub, a fennec fox and several reptiles at H&R Block in Gridley, in the Safeway shooping Center! These animals will be available for the public to view as a thank you for all H&R Block does for the Sanctuary.

Please join us on October 22nd, from 12 to 5 PM, at Chico Art School & Gallery in downtown Chico for an art show titled "Menagerie." There will be a reception and a silent auction, and the art pieces will be sold that evening.

Bidding on the art can start on Sept. 1 at the Chico Art School and the bidding will end at 5:00 on October 22nd. As art is created it will be posted on the walls of the gallery up until October 22nd.

The Kirshner Wildlife Foundation will be at the Durham Harvest Festival on Sunday, September 18th. Held at Durham Community Park on the Durham-Dayton highway, the festival starts at 7-9 AM with a pancake breakfast, followed by food and fun throughout the day. Come by our tent to learn more about us and watch Tom the grizzly bear cub swim in his pool!

Due to this event, the Foundation will be closed on the 18th.

We’re Finally Open!

You may have seen us and our adorable grizzly bear on the news lately. If you haven’t, then we want everyone to know that we are now officially Open to the Public. Anyone can now visit us between the hours of 9-5, Tuesday through Sunday. It costs $7 for adults and $6 for children to walk around and visit the animals. Additionally, if you would like a guided tour we ask that you call ahead to make an appointment and for pricing information. The guided tour usually lasts about 2 hours and includes a lot of personal information about our animals from one of our wonderful volunteers. We are so excited and we hope everyone will come out and see all of our wonderful animals and our beautiful new location.
