Reading time: 3 minutes
The Birmingham Zoo just welcomed some new(born) additions. We’re celebrating by sharing a preview + letting you know how you can support eight animal rights nonprofits in Birmingham today. Check it out!
Congrats, Mischa!
Mischa is the three-year-old Pallas’ cat at the Birmingham Zoo. She recently gave birth to four kittens on April after a 67-day pregnancy. Mischa is a first-time mother and thankfully, she and her four kittens are looking healthy and active.
“We are all very happy for this wonderful news—our first Pallas’ cat kittens in over two decades at the Birmingham Zoo.
Mischa’s litter is significant for the Zoo and crucial for the Pallas’ cat species. We are the only AZA-accredited Zoo in the state of Alabama, and we take pride in being a part of the conservation of wildlife and wild places.”
Chris Pfefferkorn, President & CEO, Birmingham Zoo
