No. By buying an animal adoption gift box you will be 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.

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 of your chosen non-human.

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.

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.

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, they provide a safe and secure environment for poorly, orphaned and injured Meerkats. We have to say, it doesn't get much cuter than that.

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!

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 with your adopted animal.

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!).

Yes it does. That's the beauty of these adoption kits. There's no faff when it comes to delivery and it's something nice to open. It's a win win situation!

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.

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.

The percentage varies between the project and scheme partners, the full details of which are included in the gift tins.

Yes. You will be helping 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.

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.

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.
