The bigger gift

Gift a sponsorship

Reviewed — prices checked with partner shelters

One-off gifts feed an animal for a week. A sponsorship keeps going — and the person you give it to gets the certificate, the updates and the warm glow, month after month.

How does gifting a sponsorship work?

You choose a monthly sponsorship — from £30 a month — and add the recipient's name below. They receive a personalised certificate and ongoing updates from World Animal Rescue Network about the animal their sponsorship supports. You pay; they get the relationship.

Gift sponsorship questions

What does the recipient of a gift sponsorship get?

A personalised e-certificate from World Animal Rescue Network naming them and the animal sponsored, followed by updates about the care their sponsorship funds. You pay; they get the relationship.

How much does it cost to sponsor an animal as a gift?

Monthly sponsorships run from £30 a month for a rescue cat pod to £80 a month for a big cat sanctuary habitat, with kennels (£40), donkeys (£50), bears (£70) and elephants (£75) in between.

Can the sponsorship be cancelled or changed later?

Yes — sponsorships are managed by World Animal Rescue Network and can be changed or stopped at any time. Nothing locks the recipient in.
