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
Africa Special
Tired of the heat? You can symbolically adopt a few of our African animal residents who thrive in the heat. Whether you choose Shakarri, the lion, Anubis, the sand cat, or PJ & Beshte, the fennec foxes, your adoption helps feed and care for these Summer loving animals, and the other nearly 10,000 animal residents at the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium. In addition to helping those animals, you'll receive an adoption packet that includes a personalized certificate, an amazing photo of your animal, a fact sheet, and plush of your chosen animal.
Africa Special for $75 includes:
- A framed photo of your animal of choice
- One plush animal of your choice (lion, sand cat, fennec fox)
- A special animal fact sheet
- Official adoption certificate
