Questions

What does 'symbolic adoption' mean?
A symbolic adoption means your monthly gift funds the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of animals of that species — you are not adopting a specific individual animal. The funds go into WARN's programme for that species and support multiple rescues.
Can I cancel my monthly adoption at any time?
Yes. You can cancel your monthly adoption at any time with no penalty. Simply email us at [email protected] and we will process your cancellation within two working days.
Will I receive updates from the field?
Yes. All adopters receive quarterly email updates on the programme their adoption funds. Updates include rescue stories, species news, and programme outcomes.
Is my donation Gift Aid eligible?
Yes, if you are a UK taxpayer. When you set up your adoption, please tick the Gift Aid declaration. We will reclaim 25p in tax for every £1 you donate — boosting your gift at no extra cost to you.
Can I make a one-off adoption gift instead of monthly?
Yes — on each adoption page you can choose a one-off gift amount instead of a monthly commitment. One-off adopters receive the same certificate and welcome pack.
