Adopt a Tiger from the Wildlife Heritage Foundation
In agreement with the Wildlife Heritage Foundation (WHF) you can now adopt one of their Big Cats, going through Barbara's Travel Photography's web page. As the adoption link has been set-up in a way that you buy it directly from the WHF, please be assured that the money goes directly to the cats, not to Barbara's Travel Photography.
There are generally two options to adopt one of the cats:
1) Basic adoption for £50 includes
2) Presentation Package for £65 includes
The Presentation Package is ideal if you want to give the adoption as a present.
The links below will lead you directly to the adoption form, where you can provide all details, including payment information.
On behalf of the Wildlife Heritage Foundation, we say thank you for your interest and your support.
