Whatever your style – whether you’re colourful and sassy or classy and more reserved – if you’re an animal lover then Folly Farm may just have found the perfect gift for you this Christmas.
Animal lovers could wake up on Christmas morning to their very own llama or red panda, well sort of!
Folly Farm, is giving you the chance to adopt a selection of its favourite animals. You may struggle to find a stocking that would fit an actual llama or red panda, but this could be the next best thing!
Best known for their colourful dress-sense, sassy natures and majestic long necks, llamas seem to be everywhere at the moment. From cushions and bedding to pyjamas and stationery, it seems like the llama lover in your life must already own all the llama paraphernalia they could possibly want – except a llama of their own.
Or alternatively, you may be drawn to a cute creature known for its bright red fur and long, bushy tail, the red panda - one of Folly Farm’s newest residents.
Beautiful and classy, red pandas are fairly quiet (except for some twittering, tweeting, and whistling sounds) and solitary creatures – an adoption could be the perfect gift for someone special in your life.
Folly Farm offers adoption packages for 14 different types of animal – from llamas and red pandas to sloths, pigs and goats.
For £39, each adoption pack includes a certificate, animal fact sheet, cuddly replica of the animal, and the adopter’s name displayed on a thank you board at the animal enclosure. Plus, they’ll get a day ticket to Folly Farm, so they can go and see their favourite animal in person.
Adopting an animal is also a great way to give back. Ten per cent of profits go towards Folly Farm’s conservation partners including Wildlife Vets International, Barbary Macaque Awareness and Conservation and Neptune’s Army of Rubbish Cleaners which organises under-the-sea litter clean ups along the Pembrokeshire coastline.
Chris Ebsworth, managing director at Folly Farm, said: “We launched our animal adoption packs to give animal lovers like us the perfect Christmas gift. This year we’ve introduced new packages for llama and red panda fans, and we’re expecting these to be very popular.
“Everyone struggles to buy a present for someone who has everything, so in this case you know you’re helping animals in the wild and with your ticket you can make memories with your loved ones.
“Conservation is incredibly important to us at Folly Farm, and we’re proud to be working with several causes helping to protect vulnerable and endangered species of animals in the wild. Adopting an animal isn’t just your usual Christmas gift – it’s also a great way to support this work and help ensure these animals are safeguarded for future generations.”
