A symbolic animal adoption is a way for you to support your favourite animal.

By adopting an animal symbolically, you will help your chosen animal and other threatened wildlife species receive care and protection at Perth Zoo and in the wild.

All Perth Zoo adoptions last for 12 months.

Before your current adoption expires, we’ll let you know how you can continue your adoption of the same animal, or a different one.

At the moment we only have 12 animals available for adoption. However, if you’re interested in another animal please email savingwildlife@perthzoo.wa.gov.au and let them know so we can keep an eye on what is popular.

In the meantime, consider adopting another animal from the same region to learn more about other amazing wildlife in the same region as your favourite animal.

We would love to help you gift an animal adoption to someone lucky.

If you complete your adoption online, you will receive a link to an online form where you can provide your gift recipient details.

Alternatively, you can email savingwildlife@perthzoo.wa.gov.au or phone 08 9474 0444 to let us know who you would like the adoption certificate made out to.

Please email savingwildlife@perthzoo.wa.gov.au or phone 08 9474 0444 to let us know any details you would like to change.

We aim to send your pack within 7 working days, but quicker when possible. Australia Post will generally take 3-6 days for delivery.

As you are receiving a material benefit as part of your adoption package, your adoption is not tax-deductible.

If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation, please visit Donate for Wildlife.

Unfortunately, physical adoption packs can only be sent within Australia.

Our virtual Wildlife Watcher adoption is perfect for overseas residents to learn more about the species at Perth Zoo.

Perth Zoo has corporate adoption packages. Please email partnerships@perthzoo.wa.gov.au for further information.

Postage and handling charges apply. Adoption packs are sent with Australia Post generally within 5-7 business days.

Please refer to the below Christmas delivery deadlines to ensure your adoption will arrive in time for Christmas: WA: 15 December 2023 Interstate: 12 December 2023.
