Gifts for animal lovers (that animals actually receive)

Skip the paw-print mug. Match the gift to their favourite animal — dog person, cat person, secret sloth person — and give the thing they’d have chosen themselves.

What is the best gift for an animal lover?

The gift most animal lovers say they want is help for an animal: a donation in their name funding real care, from £5 to feed an orphaned hedgehog to £95 to satellite-tag a rescued sea turtle’s release. They receive a certificate naming them and the care funded.
