Adopt a Sloth
Become part of our family for as little as US$60 a year by adopting a sloth for yourself or as a gift for a loved one.
Your contribution matters: When you adopt a sloth, 100% of your donation directly supports the conservation of wild sloths. Adoptions also make wonderful gifts!

Tender
A true local! His mom, Tiki, is famous for hanging out above a beach bar, and now Tender is carrying on the family tradition…

Luiza
The matriarch of our sloth family! Luiza has been with us the longest and is singlehandedly repopulating the coastal forest—four babies in four years and still going strong.

Deborah
From a rough start living in a hole by the roadside (and more than one rescue mission!), Debbie is now one of our greatest success stories, and also a proud mom!
