Animal Sponsorship and adoption at Exmoor Zoo
What is the Animal Sponsorship Scheme?
A visit to Exmoor Zoo can now be more worthwhile. By adopting an animal you can provide a helpful contribution towards the phenomenal cost of keeping and feeding the animals and supporting our conservation and breeding programmes.
Who can Adopt and how?
Anyone can adopt an animal: an individual or a large company, a brownie pack or a home for the elderly. Simply select an animal you would like to sponsor, complete the booking form and send it with your cheque to the Zoo, using the address that is on the form.
Sponsorships as a gift?
Looking for a present for the person who has everything? Sponsorships make unusual gifts at Christmas, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Mother's Day or Father's Day. The date will be printed on the certificate.
If the sponsorship is intended as a gift please allow a minimum of two weeks for this to be processed.
Please note:
Animal sponsorship applies to the species rather than the individual animal, as animals may leave the Zoo for a variety of reasons, such as part of a conservation and breeding programme. If this applies to the whole species you have adopted, we will advise you and you may transfer your adoption to another species.
Exmoor Zoo has been involved in watching over wildlife for 15 years and as a member of the British and Irish Zoos and Aquaria, we are committed to species survival and environmental enrichment for the many animals in our care.
Animals need your Help
Every day
another species
of plant or animal
will disappear
from this world
forever. You can
play a valuable
role in wildlife
conservation at
Exmoor as each
animal is waiting
to be sponsored by you, your friends, your school or
even your company.
Why Sponsor?
As the numbers of animals threatened with extinction increases dramatically, the role of the modern zoo becomes more important; some animals owe their existence to the care provided by zoos. At Exmoor we are proud of our continued breeding successes with many rare and endangered animals in our care. We receive no subsidies or grants and the high costs of specialist care can only continue to be helped by your support.
Your Sponsorship Scheme
The fee for sponsoring an animal is
based on a contribution to provide
food, heating and enclosure
maintenance, animal husbandry
costs and veterinary fees for your
favourite animals. You will also be
assisting ongoing conservation
projects at Exmoor Zoo.
You Will Receive
- An adopter’s certificate
- Complimentary zoo admission ticket
- A name plaque near to your chosen animal for one year
- A photograph of your favourite animal
- Periodic “zoo news” updates
Any Zoo Animal can be Sponsored
