Item Wish List

Looking for ways to contribute to the Zoo without donating cash? Zoo New York accepts donations of all kinds. Our animals benefit from a variety of new, used, and recycled goods. Drop-offs can be made any day of the week during normal business hours. Or you can buy from our Amazon wish list and have it shipped to us directly!


We have recently learned about ways Capital One Shopping can help you find even more savings on these items! This is a free tool that compares prices among various retailers to ensure that you are getting the best deal possible whilst supporting survivors of violence at the same time!
