A 'joey'-ful gift for your favorite mom!
Mother's Day Adoption
What defines the best mom? Someone who has always been there for you. Red kangaroo moms also are devoted parents. Females may have one joey in the pouch, an older joey outside the pouch but still nursing and an embryo awaiting its turn. Now that’s a multitasker!
Adopting a red kangaroo is a special way to honor your favorite mom — and the red kangaroos in the Zoo’s care — for Mother’s Day. Proceeds go toward the animals’ care and feeding for a whole year. Hop to it and order your adoption package today!
Adoption package includes:
- 12-inch red kangaroo plush toy with a 2024 commemorative tag
- Name on the Zoo Parents Recognition Wall and stlzoo.org for one year
- Personalized adoption certificate
- Greeting card from you
- Color photo with animal facts and a car decal
- Invitation to the Zoo Parents Picnic
Each adoption is lovingly and personally packed. We will mail your order in 14-21 days of receipt. Due to delays in postal processing, please allow us as much time as possible when placing your order for delivery.
Proceeds
All proceeds go directly toward the care and feeding of the animals. Learn more about the Zoo Parents Program.
