Adopt a cheetah
By adopting a cheetah, your money will make a real contribution to our vital conservation work for cheetahs and many other species. Our adoptions make a fantastic gift for animal lovers of all ages. Prices start from as little as £35 per year and we have up to four packs to choose from.
This impressive big cat is the world's fastest land mammal, reaching a top speed of around 70mph in just 3 seconds! Cheetahs are listed as a Vulnerable species, with populations in the wild under threat from habitat loss and hunting. There is a European Endangered species Programme (EEP) for the cheetah and the captive population in zoos is being managed co-operatively world-wide.
How do I adopt a cheetah?
First choose the adoption package you wish to purchase from the options below, and then make your animal selection.
Adoptions apply to the species rather than individual animals. This is because some of our animals may move to other zoos as part of breeding programmes. If your adopted species moves, we will advise you and you will be given the opportunity to transfer your adoption to another species.
