Adopt a tiger

Adopting a tiger at Paignton Zoo will make a real contribution to the care of our big cats and wildlife conservation work.

Our adoptions make a fantastic gift for animal lovers of all ages. Prices start from as little as £35 for the year and we have up to four packs to choose from.

Please accept our apologies, but due to wear and tear we have had to remove some of our tiger adoption boards. This means that some of these adoptions are not be visible at this current time. We are working hard to ensure they are displayed again as quickly as possible.

We're home to two young female Sumatran tigers, sisters Carrie and Padme. The pair joined Paignton Zoo from Ree Park Safari in Denmark, in December 2020.

This subspecies, the smallest of all the tiger species, is listed as Critically Endangered, with as few as 400 individuals reported to be living in the wild today. Captive and wild populations in Sumatra are protected and managed.

How do I adopt a tiger?

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.

Please note that our adoption gift packs are only available for UK delivery.
