'Go Wild'... with our junior adoption scheme (children aged 0 - 16yrs)
If you're passionate about animals this is a great way to get involved. Every adoption helps us care for and feed all of the animals at Marwell, many of which are endangered.

- Go wild and adopt today! - Call the Animal Adoption office on 01962 777988.
- Please allow 10 working days for us to process and dispatch your adoption pack. It takes approximately four - six weeks (from when we receive your adoption application) for the plaque to be made and put up on display.

Our animals need you!
- Marwell is a registered charity dedicated to the conservation of wildlife and natural habitats both locally and internationally.
- As charity we rely heavily on our visitors and supporters to help fund our work.
- The money raised through an animal adoption makes a valuable contribution to the care of our animals – from food and veterinary care to general maintenance of enclosures and animal living quarters.
Points to note
- It takes approximately four weeks (from when we receive your adoption application ) for the plaque to be made and put up on display.
- Adoptions within the general scheme apply to species rather than individual animals.
- Credit card payments - We accept all cards except Electron or American Express payments on-line.
- Animals are sometimes moved, both within Marwell and to other zoos as part of zoological collections.
- We reserve the right to make changes to adoptions where necessary. In the event that the adopted animal is no longer at Marwell, we will notify the adopter and they will be able to transfer their adoption to another animal.
