Become a “lemur parent” through our Adopt a Lemur program!
Symbolically adopt a lemur and support their care at the DLC! Adopt a Lemur packages aren’t just snuggly—these symbolic adoptions connect you, or your gift recipient, to a real lemur who resides at the Duke Lemur Center.
More than just a cuddly friend, each huggable plush comes with a code to sign up for an entire year of quarterly updates about your lemur adoptee. You’ll also receive a complete adoption kit—an irresistibly cute, thoughtfully curated, and educational “gift for good” for yourself or someone you love ❤️
