Adopt-A-Manatee® and Get A Free T-Shirt!
Free Shipping on All U.S. Orders

Adopt a real manatee and help protect an endangered species. Funds from the Club’s Adopt-A-Manatee program go toward efforts to help protect manatees and their habitat.

Unlike other animal adoption programs, the manatees in our adoption programs are real, living manatees with known histories. You even have the opportunity of seeing your adopted manatee at one of three locations in Florida!
