Adopt a lion

By adopting an African lion, your money will make a real contribution to the care of our lions and our wildlife conservation work.

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 three packs to choose from.

Please note that the last purchase date for adoption packs to be delivered to arrive in time for Christmas Day is Wednesday 16th December.

The African lion is classified as a Vulnerable species, as a result of illegal poaching, habitat destruction and human encroachment on their territory in the wild.

At Newquay Zoo we are currently home to three siblings, male Boss and females Semira and Amahle.

How do I adopt an African Lion?

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. The last purchase date for adoption packs to be delivered to arrive in time for Christmas Day is Wednesday 16th December.
