Adopt a meerkat
By adopting a meerkat, your money will make a real contribution to our vital conservation work. Our adoptions make a fantastic birthday or Christmas gift for animal lovers of all ages. Prices start from as little as £30 per year and we have up to four packs to choose from, depending on the animal selected.
Please note that the last date to order an animal adoption for delivery in time for Christmas is Wednesday 19th December.
Meerkats are small, cat-like carnivores that are part of the mongoose and civets family. These mammals play an important role in maintaining ecological harmony in wilds of the African desert. You can spot our meerkat mob near the tapir enclosure.
How do I adopt a meerkat?
First choose the adoption package you wish to purchase from the options below and then make your animal selection.
