Concert for the Cats
We exceeded our $50,000 fundraising goal all thanks to YOU!!
It was a night to remember as singer and philanthropist John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting brought live music back to Moorpark College with "Concert for the Cats"!
You can still help us reach our goal of $75,000 to finish Neil and Karma's Tiger Retreat Habitat!
About the Cause
Neil & Karma
Arriving in 2017 when they were just 50 pound cubs. Neil was rescued from a private residence in the Hollywood Hills after being spotted in a YouTube video, he was sent to America's Teaching Zoo to live and thrive. Karma joined him shortly after from another zoological facility and they both became fast friends. Check out the video below to see their whole story.
John Ondrasik
John and his wife Carla grew up in the valley and their sons attended Moorpark College. Regular patrons of America's Teaching Zoo, they were both excited to offer hosting a benefit concert. "Our family spends many Saturdays visiting Ira the Lion and his other animal friends. I can't be more excited to support the wonderful zoo and to raise some much needed funds" - John Ondrasik
Our Tiger Retreat Habitat
Just as the tigers have grown over the years, their need for a larger habitat has also grown. We are excited to move forward with our Tiger Retreat Habitat as a part of our Master Plan. This exhibit will be complete with several glass viewing areas for guests to view Neil & Karma as well as a Tiger Tunnel connecting the 2 large enclosures. Don't forget the water feature that will allow them to splash and play.
