Find out using the udopt’r and help us to save your animal alter-ego from extinction.

 Udopt, the newly launched animal adoption portal, has put its unique udopt’r app to the test as users visit the site to discover their animal alter-ego.

The udopt’r matches an individual’s character traits with that of their perfect animal alter-ego.  The app requires users to answer questions about themselves such as age, character and temperament – whether they’re a cheeky monkey or the cool, calm and collected type, or whether their idea of bliss is the beach or the challenge of wintery mountain top, the utopt’r will match the responses given to find the individual’s animal alter-ego.

 Perfect Presents

There are a wide range of gifts to choose from with packages starting from as little as £3 per month. Packages vary: WWF and Guide Dogs include cuddly toys, while the Aspinall Foundation offers free tickets to visit the animals. All adoptions come with certificates, fact sheets and updates through the year. Animal adoption is a distinctive and thoughtful present that reflects well on both the giver and the recipient and will be appreciated the whole year round by the animal kingdom!
