Yes, in regards to shaolin that is correct. However there are many other animal styles. Plus many family styles, additional animal styles, synthesis of styles..
White ape
grey crane
dog style
monkey style
**Styles containing animal sub sets like Bagua: horse, chicken, rooster + 9 more animals
white eyebrow..blah blah blah
Id say there could easily be over 250 plus styles of what is calssified as kung fu (i have read some reports of up 1500...but i cannot validate this)
I have seen a kung fu style of white tiger which has its page on the internet... i thought this could have been your school:

Also known as "The Emperor\'s Art," White Tiger Kung Fu has been passed down through the Doo family for nearly 400 years.
