Adopt an Amur Tiger for Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day Adoption Package

Need a special way to tell someone “I love you” this Valentine’s Day? Adopt an Amur tiger and bring on the cuddles! Amur tigers’ large size, thick fur coat, layer of fat on their flanks and belly, and extra fluffy ruff keep them warm in extremely cold environments. This tiger is sure to make your loved one feel warm and fuzzy, too! And, your hearts will feel full knowing this gift goes toward the animals’ care and feeding.

Three Amur tiger cubs were born on Nov. 13, 2023! The cubs are the first successful tiger births at the Zoo in more than 10 years and are a significant contribution to the population of Amur tigers in North American zoos. See their story.

This special adoption includes:

  • A 12-inch Amur tiger plush toy with a 2024 commemorative tag (while supplies last)
  • Personalized adoption certificate
  • Valentine's Day greeting card from you
  • Color photo with animal facts
  • Car decal
  • Name on the Zoo Parents Donor Wall and website for one year
  • Invitation to the Zoo Parents Picnic
