Adopt a Wild Child
Adopt a Wild Child today, and give a gift that matters! It’s a fun and unique way to show you care about your loved ones AND our animals. Or, adopt for yourself and enjoy the benefits of “parenthood”. We’ve got adoption packages to fit every need and budget, starting at less than a dollar a day. Watch for specials throughout the year, or sign up any time to support your favorite from among over 20 species.
Your adoption helps us:
- Maintain habitats
- Transport animals
- Purchase toys for enrichment
- Provide hundreds of pounds of food each day
Baby Orangutan Special
Our hearts are full this spring with the birth of Nanas, a critically endangered Bornean orangutan! Born to Josie in early May, this precious boy’s arrival is not only exciting for the Kansas City Zoo but is very important for the species as a whole. Celebrate this exciting news by adopting Nanas! Your purchase will go toward the outstanding care of over 1,700 animals at the Zoo, including baby Nanas and mother Josie, as well as a $5 donation to the CREATE project!
Baby Orangutan Special for $80 includes:
- A framed photo of Nanas and mom Josie
- A plush orangutan
- A special animal fact sheet
- Personalized adoption certificate
- A $5 donation to orangutan wildlife habitat restoration through the Create Project
