Adopting an animal is a great way to contribute directly to the care, wellbeing and enrichment of wildlife, both inside and outside our three zoos, as well as keeping updated about your favourite animal species.
By adopting an animal, you will be supporting the work of Zoos Victoria, including animal care, community education and conservation programs.
All financial support, large and small, is precious to us.
Your donation is tax deductible.
