Calling all feline fans – get your claws into our Adopt A Tiger or Big Cat packs! We think these have got to be the purrfect gift for anyone hoping to help protect these magnificent mammals. With each adoption box you’ll be supporting PTES (the People’s Trust for Endangered Species) as they work tirelessly to keep the world’s tiger and other big cat populations alive and thriving.
You have the choice to adopt one of five big cat species including the the Tiger Scottish Wildcat Snow Cheetah Cheetah and Lion. With each adoption pack you’ll receive a welcome letter registration form and a booklet explaining the plight of these graceful hunters. Once you’ve chosen your favourite species you’ll receive a personalised adoption certificate and a souvenir poster to display with pride – imagine having a picture of your personally adopted Tiger on your bedroom wall?
The Big Cat conservation projects are worldwide and through their Adopt a Tiger scheme aim to work with local people and agencies to promote the protection of natural habitats and the welfare of some of the globe’s most endangered big cat species. Tigers are the kings of the jungle and the largest of the Asian Big Cat family but sadly three out of nine breeds of Tiger are already extinct so the charity is aiming to prevent the remaining six including the very rare and beautiful Bengal Tiger from dying out.
Also incredibly rare is the Amur Leopard. More renowned for lurking around the savannahs of Africa the Amur is native to the Russian Far East and is vulnerable to poaching and wildlife trade. Your support through buying these Big Cat and Tiger adoption tins can make a real difference to the future of these marvellous creatures and ensure they stay with us to enthral and enrapture generations to come.
These Adopt a Tiger gifts (the rarest of the big cats on our list) are an unusual present to give but are sure to tug on the heartstrings of animal lovers everywhere and will give cat lovers a warm furry feeling of goodwill when they contemplate the positive impact their adoption will have on these big-pawed cats in the wild.
For alternative species in dire need of protection such as Exmoor ponies meerkats and penguins take a look at our Adopt an Animal page.

Take your time and adopt a sloth! If you know someone who loves these loveable creatures this sloth adoption pack is the perfect gift. By adopting a sloth you’ll be helping make sure the species continues to thrive in this ever increasingly stressful world (and sloths just like many of us humans don’t like stress!).
Confucius said: ‘It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you don’t stop’. This could be the mantra of the sloth. Even the word ‘sloth’ sounds as slow and lethargic as it’s meaning doesn’t it? But in reality sloths aren’t lazy – just slow. And this slowness works as a very effective defence mechanism as it’s believed sloths move unnoticed by their predators!
Your adoption pack is full of fascinating sloth facts and trivia so you’ll be able to really understand what sloths are all about. It’s not laziness they don’t sleep all day and they’re a long way from being as daft as we often think. You’ll be able to make yourself busy reading all that putting up your sloth poster and even writing your sloth postcard – all included in the sloth pack you’ll receive.
By adopting a sloth you will be donating to the Sloth Conservation Foundation. Affectionately known as SloCo this British-registered charity is dedicated to saving sloths in the wild by implementing lasting solutions through research and conservation initiatives in countries such as Costa Rica where the natural tree canopy habitat of the sloth is constantly under threat from development and deforestation.
Whether it’s a cheeky present for someone who shall we say likes to maximise their relaxation time or a gift for those who just can’t resist that cute little smiley sloth face the chance to adopt a sloth isn’t one to mull over for too long at this great price. Buying one online direct from Into The Blue doesn’t take up much time or energy so even a sloth can do it!

Adopt an alpaca and get yourself a new very fluffy BFF! These alpaca adoption packages last a whole year and as well as the usual adoption package sent in the post you also get two visits the alpaca farm where they all live with one of those visits including an alpaca walk.
Alpacas are truly fascinating creatures. Once you’ve met one you’ll be totally enthralled by them and want to take them home with you. As most of us don’t have enough room for an alpaca adopting one is the next best thing and these packages make great gifts to give adults and kids alike. After all everyone loves these cheeky alpacas.
Funnily enough a chance meeting was just how farm owner Annie started her love affair with alpacas. Having seen alpacas at a country show she thought these lovable creatures would be a great addition at her farm especially for the grandchildren. She started with a trio of cheeky fellows and with two pregnant females joining Annie began alpaca breeding. With the ever-growing herd it was time to make use of the fabulously soft fleeces of the alpacas when they are shorn once per year culminating in a shop full of fabulously cosy alpaca wool clothing from socks and jumpers to bedding and hats.
And as an alpaca adopter you’ll be the proud owner of your very own alpaca gift as part of the adoption process. If it’s a child adopting the cuddly toy alpaca is the usual treat but it has to be said it’s also a favourite with adults too. And as well as things like alpaca logo stationery there are also super soft and cosy alpaca fleece socks that can be chosen as the accompanying gift.
When it comes to which alpaca to adopt it’s not easy to choose. There are baby juvenile and adult alpacas looking for your love. Peter is the chatty one Niko keeps himself spotless Golly Golly Gosh is the cheekiest and Brian is the shy one whilst Lara is always first to greet visitors arriving at the farm…
And indeed when you adopt and alpaca you’ll get to meet your alpaca. Your pack entitles you to two visits to their home in Kent on a working arable farm where the friendly and knowledgable staff will only be too pleased to show you around. You’ll be introduced to your very lovely cheeky alpaca that you’ve adopted as well as having the chance to go on alpaca walkies too!

There’s one way to get a head for heights – when you adopt a giraffe! These graceful creatures are at risk as their natural habitats are being systematically destroyed. So this adopt a giraffe gift set will make sure you help the much-loved Giraffa camelopardalis thrive.
The giraffe is by far the tallest of living mammals and is very distinctive amongst it’s fellow safari animals with their long legs elongated neck and those characteristic coat patterns and fur colour. Of course with that ever-so-long neck reaching tasty acacia leaves high up in the trees is no problem for the giraffe. So just why do giraffes need adopting?
Well the answer is simple. All over their native homelands of Africa the continent is being deforested and turned into agricultural land and that means the giraffe’s preferred habitat is disappearing – and fast. Experts believe that in the last 15 years alone the giraffe population has declined by 40% and up to 80% in some areas. This adoption gift will see you sponsoring the People’s Trust for Endangered Species’s work in Kenya with giraffes.
The Trust has already carried out official assessments into giraffe numbers in Kenya leading to the giraffe now being classed as an Endangered Species. That means research work into conservation projects can now continue into the best ways to help keep giraffes safe in their natural environment. The donation you’ll be making as part of this giraffe adoption scheme goes towards the Trust’s continuing work in Kenya.
Your gift pack includes a souvenir giraffe poster as well as leaflet and infographic with all the facts and figures about these fascinating creatures you’ve helped with your adoption. There’s also a registration form so you can sign up to receive your official giraffe adoption certificate that you can frame and proudly add your to wall as a reminder of the gift that’s been given on your behalf to the Kenyan giraffes.
Adopt a giraffe today and put your own little footprint on this superb conservation project in the heart of Kenya helping these majestic mammals that are officially classified as an endangered species. So much giraffe goodness in a funky gift tin!

Everybody loves these adorable bundles of black and white fur so adopt a panda and help keep these rare animals from becoming extinct. By buying one of our adopt a giant panda gift boxes you will be making a contribution to a panda conservation centre in China that aims to provide a safe and natural habitat for these gorgeous bear-like creatures to thrive in.
The Bifengxia Panda Centre just outside Ya’an city in the Sichuan province of central China has been open since 2002 and has nearly 1000 acres of land purely dedicated to pandas. The primary aims of the project are habitat reconstruction veterinary care a captive breeding programme research into nutrition and behaviour and ultimately a project to re-introduce adopted pandas into the wild.
It is thought there are between 1000 and 3000 giant pandas living in the wild and 330 in captivity in the world. The main challenge to the panda’s successful survival is logging. The deforestation and non-stop development of towns and cities means that bamboo the panda’s main food source is being massively eroded. When you think bamboo only flowers once every 10 to 100 years and then dies afterwards these solitary animals are nomadic and need to roam far and wide to find sources of food and modern life is making this migration harder and harder. And that’s where you come in with your panda adoption…
A contribution from each adoption gift box is given to this project and may be used to fund anything from building panda ‘corridors’ for them to roam from area to area formula to feed baby pandas toys to keep them amused help towards healthcare costs of poorly pandas or even incubators. The centre has several younger as well as older pandas to look after who all need you. So wherever your donation goes you can feel warm glowing inside knowing that you’ve helped!
We know it’s not likely that you will get the chance to visit your adoptive four-pawed panda friend in China but the gift tin has everything you need to be able to feel close to your panda including a stunning poster information cards and certificate so you can read all about Bifengxia and the work done there.
If you’re anything like us the thought of ‘your’ panda with those just too cute black eye patches muzzle and little ears sitting up in that way that they do with a nice juicy branch of bamboo in their paws munching away is just too endearing to ignore – so adopt a panda today for a gift that any animal lover will surely cherish.
