Adopt an animal
Make a real difference
You can make an instant difference to an injured animal, today. By adopting an animal you will be providing vital funds so that we can work together to rescue, rehabilitate and release the next injured or orphaned animal that needs us.
Every year, we rescue thousands of injured and orphaned animals and rehabilitate them until they are strong enough to survive in the wild, on their own.
You can make a real difference, today; choose one of our animal adoptions, below, to find out more.
Please see the bottom of this page for frequently asked questions about our adoptions.
The Importance of Wildlife Adoption
We deal with over 20,000 wildlife-related incidents, each year. We can have over 100 patients admitted to our hospital in just 24 hours, all requiring around-the-clock care. It’s a 24/7 job. On any given day, our rescuers will be scaling trees to rescue stranded baby owls or cutting fox cubs from garden netting. Our vets will be performing life-saving surgery, while our carers look after hundreds of patients and young orphans being nursed in our rehab centre.
British wildlife needs our help more than ever. Each animal we can save and release represents a new opportunity for breeding, in the face of worrying species declines. Every adoption gives us the vital funds to buy food, medication and supplies for your chosen species.
What's included in our adoption packages?
There are the following options:
With cuddly toy: a cuddly toy of the chosen species, species brochure, book, certificate of adoption and photo.
Without cuddly toy: species brochure, certificate of adoption and photo.
No pack: nothing will be sent, with more funds going to our rescue work.
Please note, we use recyclable or recycled/reused packaging in all of or our orders.
How your adoption works
When you adopt an animal with Wildlife Aid Foundation, you can choose to make a monthly or annual payment, helping us provide ongoing care for sick, injured and orphaned British wildlife.
To set up a regular adoption: Simply select ‘Monthly’ or ‘Annual’ at the top of the adoption form, choose your preferred donation amount, and select the regular payment option at checkout. Your adoption will automatically renew until you choose to cancel.
To adopt for one year only: Select ‘Annual’ at the top of the form, choose your donation amount, and then select ‘Single Payment’ in the payment section at the bottom of the form. This is a one-off payment and will not automatically renew.
Cancelling your adoption: You can cancel your recurring adoption subscription at any time by contacting our team at office@wildlifeaid.org.uk, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
Please note that monthly adoptions require a minimum commitment of six months to cover the cost of your adoption pack. If you cancel before this period ends, we ask that you return your adoption pack to the charity.
