Lifetime sanctuary for big cats rescued from captivity — gifts from £25.
Reviewed — suggested amounts · Editorial policy
How does my donation help tigers & lions?
Your gift cares for tigers and lions rescued from circuses, roadside zoos and private ownership: £25 feeds a rescued tiger for a day, £45 funds a vet check, and £80 sponsors a month in a spacious sanctuary habitat. Every big cat rescue gift is sanctuary care, not a pet.
Big cats rescued from entertainment can never go back to the wild — but they can live well. Sanctuary means space, proper diet and vet care for the rest of their lives. Nobody takes a tiger home; the till is the gift tags on this page.
Who should skip this: Skip this page if you wanted to rehome a tiger in the UK — that is the rescue directory, not a gift tag. Skip it if you need Gift Aid: World Animal Rescue Network is a CIC and cannot claim it. Nobody takes this animal home.
Can I take this tiger home?
No. These tags are gifts to WARN’s general fund, named after a kind of care. The animal stays there. If you want to adopt or foster in the UK, use the rescue directory and follow that organisation’s process. An animal charity gift is not a pet. Compare sponsor vs adopt.
Is a tiger gift Gift Aid eligible?
No. Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network CIC. Community interest companies cannot claim Gift Aid, so you will never see a tick-box here. If Gift Aid is required, give to a registered charity instead. The gifts on this page support care without Gift Aid. See about.
What gifts help tigers & lions?
Pick a tag and we'll transfer you to World Animal Rescue Network's secure donation page with this gift already selected. Or sponsor a tiger monthly instead. Birthday and Christmas wrappers live on birthday gifts and Christmas gifts; choose the same care with a personal message.
Tiger rescue questions
How much does it cost to feed a rescued tiger for a day?
Costs differ between sanctuaries. The “Feed a rescued tiger for a day” gift has a suggested amount of £25, named after a full day’s specialist diet for one rescued big cat. See all big cat rescue gifts.
Can I give a tiger rescue donation as a gift?
Yes. After you donate, make a free printable gift card with their name, your message and the gift you chose, then print it or save it as a PDF to email — popular for birthdays and gifts in memory. WARN emails you a payment receipt, not a certificate. It is a charity gift, not a big cat you take home.
Can I take this tiger home?
No. Tags on the tiger gift page are gifts to WARN’s general fund, named after a kind of care, not an individual animal. Captive-raised big cats stay in sanctuary for life.
Is a tiger gift Gift Aid eligible?
No. Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network CIC, which cannot claim Gift Aid. The gifts still fund care.
Can I sponsor a tiger every month?
Yes. £80 a month sponsors a habitat or use monthly tiger sponsorship.
