Animal Adoption Program

It takes many dollars to feed and care for our animals. You can help by becoming a zoo parent and adopting an animal. The animal remains zoo property, but your adoption fee helps to provide feed and care for your adoptee. Because some animals cost more to provide for they may be adopted by more than one zoo parent. This is a fun project for families, organizations and schools. When you adopt an animal you receive a color photo of your animal, an adoption certificate and 2 free passes to the zoo. Your name or organization will be listed as adopting that animal for the year on a special recognition sheet at the zoo. To participate, pick the animal you wish, fill out the adoption application and send the completed form and check to: Cricket Hollow Zoo, 1512 - 210th Street, Manchester, IA 52057.
