Should I buy this experience?
Who it's for
Anyone who likes animals! An adopt an animal kit is a present with
a heart and a conscience. Help save that abandoned donkey who's
walked his last walk on the beach. Assist with research into the
lives of polar bears on the melting ice-caps. Animals all over the
world need your help!
Who it's not for
If you don't crack for a cute-as-a-button abandoned kitten you've
got a heart of stone! We can't actually think of a reason why you
wouldn't want to adopt an animal. They make great gifts to give.
Animal adoptions FAQs
Are you actually adopting an animal to take home?
No. These gifts are to adopt an animal by supporting the work that
the conservation group or foundation does to support their chosen
species of animal. Every adoption pack purchased will help keep
your favourite animal healthy and happy, so it'll be smiles all
round.
How do animal adoption kits work?
The majority of our sponsorship packs come in a funky little tin,
with an adorable picture of the species you'll be helping on the
front. Lift the lid and inside you'll find a wealth of information
on the charity, sanctuary or welfare project you'll be helping, as
well as a photo your chosen non-human.
What comes in the pack?
Inside the tins you have lots of information on the animals you'll
be helping through your adoption. Contents may vary depending on
the animal, but it could be anything from a photo of the actual
animal you're sponsoring, certificates, conservation info, facts
and figures and lots more.
Can I meet the animal I've adopted?
Some adoption packs do include tickets or discount codes to visit
zoos and animal parks where your adoptive animals live, or where
close relatives live if you're supporting a project far away.
Please read the full details on each adoption pack carefully - all
the info on what you will receive is included.
Can I adopt a meerkat?
Yes! Thanks to a certain advertising campaign, one of the most
popular mammals to adopt is the Meerkat. They are undoubtedly
gorgeous, but they also need your help at places like the special
conservation project in South Africa, providing a safe and secure
environment for poorly, orphaned and injured Meerkats. We have to
say, it doesn't get much cuter than that.
How long does the adoption last?
Adopt an animal today and you will be sponsoring them for a full
year. Whether it's helping yelping puppies, lovable kittens,
neglected ponies or panda breeding programmes, you'll be helping
their worthy cause for a whole 12 months!
Will I get updates throughout the year?
Check each product page for the full details, but in some cases you
will indeed get updates. It could be in the form of a newsletter,
photo or something like a postcard to tell what the latest
is.
Are adoption gift tins suitable presents for children?
Yes and they make great presents to give. Although not specifically
aimed at children, little ones will enjoy reading about the animals
(maybe with a little help from a grown up!).
Does the gift tin fit through the letter box
Yes it does. That's the beauty of these adoption kits. There's no
faff when it comes to delivery and they've got something nice to
open. It's a win win situation!
Why should I adopt an endangered species?
Because they need you! With deforestation, global warming and
mankind's inhumanity, more and more animals need protecting to stop
them becoming endangered or even extinct. It'd be nice to think
that with your help, some of the species will come off the
endangered list in years to come.
What animals can you adopt?
You can adopt all sorts of animals. From stray cats and dogs in the
streets of Cyprus, to Asian elephants being protected in a
sanctuary in India, we've got lots of different animals looking to
be adopted the world over.
How much goes to the charities involved?
The percentage varies between the project and scheme partners, the
full details of which are included in the gift tins.
Will I really be helping the animals?
Yes. These are verified charities and projects who work tirelessly
to save and protect the animals. They often receive little or no
funding, so rely on donations from people like you who buy adoption
gift tins. Adoption tins really are gifts with a conscience.
Where are the animals?
The animals to be adopted are at locations around the world. From
Alpacas in Kent and dolphins in Portsmouth, to sloths in Costa Rica
and penguins in the Galapagos. They are often projects run by
UK-based charities, who have the expertise to manage and organise
schemes to protect animals in countries all over the world and the
UK.
Where can I adopt an animal near me?
You can adopt an animal from anywhere in the UK - and you don't
even have to leave your comfy sofa to do it! Pop one of our animal
adoption gift tins for your animal of choice into your basket and
you're well on the way to helping make your chosen species feel
safe and wanted, wherever they are in the world.
