Choose your adoption gift

This gift is associated with the help wild tigers appeal. Read its stated purpose and geographic scope; a species-themed acknowledgement does not reserve care for an individual animal.

Choose a contribution you can comfortably afford. Review the amount, currency, frequency and purpose on the donation page before completing Stripe checkout. A payment is complete only after checkout succeeds.

Before you give

The suggested amounts do not purchase an individual animal’s care. Proposed recipients and budgets need assessment before awards. If a narrower purpose or a gift deadline is important, contact WARN first.

A gift for tiger welfare and conservation

Symbolic tiger adoption is a donation towards the related appeal purpose with an adoption-themed acknowledgement. It gives you a way to express support without owning, naming or visiting a live tiger. The suggested amounts are contribution choices rather than prices for food, a patrol or a rescue.

An attractive tiger photograph can help people connect with the species, but it does not establish that the pictured animal has been rescued or funded by WARN. Published records should identify actual recipient decisions, payments and reported outcomes separately.

Protection needs to fit the population

WWF describes differing trends across tiger range countries and identifies poaching, retaliatory killing and habitat loss as persistent threats. A broad global estimate does not tell supporters whether a particular population is secure or which local action is most useful.

A proposal might address protection, humane coexistence, habitat or appropriate animal care. Each requires a clear purpose, suitable authority and expertise, an achievable budget and evidence of results. Saving a wild population is not the same task as providing continuing care for a captive animal; a responsible appeal explains which it is seeking to support.

What responsible support could address

These are examples of needs within the related appeal context. They describe possible support, subject to recipient assessment, authority, agreed budgets and available funds.

01

Habitat and protection

Assessed proposals that address a defined threat to tigers and their environment.

02

Humane coexistence

Locally appropriate work that considers the people sharing tiger landscapes.

03

Appropriate care

Qualified decisions about animals needing treatment, recovery or continuing care.

An award should identify a recipient and purpose. A subsequent payment and reported outcome are separate records; a compelling animal photograph is not a substitute for that evidence.

A meaningful acknowledgement

Giving for yourself or someone else

A digital adoption acknowledgement can mark your own support or a gift occasion. The gift option lets you enter a recipient’s name. It represents a donation towards the stated purpose, with no ownership of an animal or entitlement to visit a rescue centre.

For a child or another gift recipient, explain what “symbolic” means before giving: the contribution is pooled for an animal welfare purpose. The photograph illustrates the subject rather than identifying their own animal.

What to expect

  • Digital adoption acknowledgement after a successful gift
  • Access to the species guide and appeal information
  • Payment confirmation for your records

The certificate is generated after a successful gift and sent through the donation email flow. Processing and email delivery can vary. There is no fixed delivery-time promise; contact WARN about a missing acknowledgement. Physical packs and a fixed schedule of individual-animal updates are not included.

Grant register

Approved commitments and completed payments are different stages. Public records identify recipients and purposes without exposing donor details, banking information or sensitive wildlife locations.

Records not yet published

A reconciled financial summary and individual grant records have not yet been published here. This is a reporting status, not a statement that income, expenditure or grants are zero. Contact WARN for information about your gift.

Where your adoption gift goes

WARN's target is for at least 80% of unrestricted donations to support eligible animal-welfare programmes. This is a planning target, not an achieved result. Named appeals follow their own published fund terms.

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, communications, governance and operations. The funding policy distinguishes planning targets from actual reported spending.
Who delivers the work
Eligible organisations assessed before a grant is approved. WARN is developing grant-making and does not operate its own rescue centres. Published records identify actual recipients and payments. 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.

Suggested amounts are contribution choices, not verified treatment costs or guarantees of an individual rescue outcome. Read the selected appeal’s purpose and funding terms.

Your questions answered

Tiger symbolic adoption questions

What does symbolic tiger adoption mean?
It is a donation with a tiger-themed acknowledgement. You do not own, receive or sponsor the exclusive care of a named live animal. This gift is associated with the help wild tigers appeal. Read its stated purpose and geographic scope; a species-themed acknowledgement does not reserve care for an individual animal.
Where is my adoption gift intended to go?
This gift is associated with the help wild tigers appeal. Read its stated purpose and geographic scope; a species-themed acknowledgement does not reserve care for an individual animal. WARN will assess proposed recipients, activities, permissions, costs and reporting before an award. Published grant records distinguish recipient decisions, payments and reported results.
How much does it cost to adopt a tiger symbolically?
Suggested contributions start at £5 a month. You can choose a one-off gift or another supported amount and currency on the donation page. These are donation choices, not verified prices for care, supplies or a rescue.
What acknowledgement will I receive?
The symbolic adoption flow provides a personalised digital certificate after a successful gift, plus a payment confirmation. Delivery depends on successful processing and email delivery; there is no fixed delivery-time promise. Contact [email protected] if an acknowledgement is missing.
Can I dedicate the gift to someone else?
Yes. Use the gift option and enter the recipient’s name, then check the details on the donation page. The certificate is an acknowledgement of support, not ownership of an animal. If you need it for a particular date, contact WARN before relying on delivery.
Does the pictured animal receive my gift?
The image illustrates the subject. It does not assign an animal to you or establish a WARN-funded rescue. A documented case would need its own source, date and funding record before it could be presented as an outcome of WARN support.
Can I choose one-off or monthly giving?
Yes. Select the frequency before continuing and confirm it again on the donation page. A one-off gift does not create a monthly commitment; recurring gifts continue until cancelled.
Can I cancel regular payments?
Yes. Use manage to manage future monthly gifts, or email [email protected] for help. Cancelling future payments does not automatically refund completed gifts.
Is my gift eligible for Gift Aid?
No. WARN is not eligible to claim Gift Aid. World Animal Rescue Network is a registered global not-for-profit animal welfare organisation, not a registered charity. International donors should check their own local rules.
Are recipients already selected and paid?
Check the appeal update and public grant register for published evidence. This page does not establish a completed award or payment. Records not yet published means the status is unknown and should not be interpreted as zero or completed work.
Can I help without donating?
Yes. Share the relevant appeal with its source dates and recipient status, or help people find reliable animal welfare information. Every share is welcome without a financial commitment.
