Animal Adoptions

The perfect gift for animal lovers, we've got loads of animal species available to adopt.

Some BIG, some small, some weird but all of them WONDERFUL, and with your support that's the way we can keep it.

It costs from just £65 to adopt your favourite animal, and straight away we’ll give you two FREE tickets for a day at the zoo.

There are two packs to choose from, the Animal Adoption Pack, or the Junior Adoption Pack, each with different contents and each can be given as a gift.

Animal Adoption Pack

Your pack includes two zoo tickets, an invitation to ‘Meet the Keeper’ & our quarterly magazine, Z.
