TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) -- The Tallahassee Museum is accepting donations to add two six-month-old cougars to its animal exhibit.

Following all the big shopping holidays, non-profits want you to take a moment and give back to the community this Giving Tuesday.

The Tallahassee Museum is getting into the Giving Tuesday spirit by collecting funds to bring cougars to the museum. The cougars, who are sisters, are currently in Texas.

The museum estimates they will need about 10 thousand dollars to bring them to Tallahassee.

Russell Daws, Tallahassee Museum's President and CEO, says the money will go a long way in retrieving and caring for the pair.

The museum hopes to have the cougars by the new year.

You can donate to the museum in person, by mail or by going to their website.
