Adopt a Tiger

Fewer than 5,000 tigers cling on in the wild — hunted for skins and bone and squeezed out of their forests. Your monthly adoption funds the teams holding the line across Asia.

In brief

To adopt a tiger symbolically, give monthly from £5 through WARN; your gift funds anti-poaching patrols, conflict response and rescue from the illegal trade rather than owning or housing a real tiger.

Where your adoption gift goes

WARN's target is for at least 80% of unrestricted donations to fund programme delivery — grants to partner shelters, sanctuary capacity, veterinary care and rescue across the network.

Programme funding target
At least 80% of unrestricted donations to frontline programme delivery — grants to partner shelters, sanctuary capacity, veterinary care and rescue.
What the rest covers
Essential fundraising and core governance. WARN runs without fixed offices, and volunteers carry out much of the work rather than paid staff.
Who delivers the work
Vetted in-country partner organisations. WARN funds and monitors; it does not run its own shelters. How partners are selected.
Legal status
World Animal Rescue Network CIC is a Community Interest Company — not a registered charity, and not Gift Aid eligible. Registration status.

WARN is a registered UK Community Interest Company (Company no. 17298990) and is not a charity, so it cannot claim Gift Aid. The donation case is transparent partner-led welfare where support reaches practical field needs.

Figures are illustrative of partner-led costs and are not a guarantee of how any single gift is spent.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many wild tigers are left?
Fewer than 5,000 tigers remain in the wild, down from around 100,000 a century ago. The tiger is classed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, and roughly 70% of the world's wild tigers live in India, the result of decades of protected-area work.
What does my tiger adoption fund?
Your monthly adoption is pooled into WARN's Tiger Programme and granted through the current in-network focus of Indonesia and Malaysia — funding anti-poaching context, human-wildlife conflict response, rescue from the illegal trade and habitat protection.
Does WARN run its own tiger reserve?
No. WARN is a global not-for-profit animal welfare organisation that raises funds and makes grants to, and partners with, established anti-poaching teams, rescue groups and sanctuaries. We fund frontline work rather than running our own facilities.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Email [email protected] and we will cancel your monthly adoption within two working days, with no penalty.
