Description

Give the gift of a teddy to an orphaned otter.

Orphaned otter cubs arrive scared, cold, and alone, having lost physical contact with their mother. This sudden loss causes stress during early development  and this stress can slow growth and weaken natural behaviors.

We use teddies to replace that missing comfort. They offer warmth, pressure, and reassurance. Cubs cuddle, groom, and sleep beside them. This contact helps cubs feel safe and calm – calmer cubs rest better and feed more confidently. Most otters rescued by UKWOT arrive as orphaned cubs and they need round-the-clock care from the start. Rehabilitation teams focus on both physical and emotional health, and the gifted teddies support that work every single day. Keepers introduce them during feeding and rest times and the cubs quickly form strong attachments.

When you give the gift of a teddy to an orphaned otter, you support vital rehabilitation work. Your gift places one teddy with one rescued cub, providing comfort throughout early recovery. It supports wellbeing alongside expert veterinary treatment and helps cubs grow strong enough for release.

You’ll also receive a downloadable A4 certificate, explaining the impact of your gift. You can print this, share it digitally, or send it to a wildlife lover in your life. Whichever you choose, it’s a reminder of your kindness.

Every teddy helps replace what these cubs lost, building their confidence and security. Your support strengthens rescue teams across the country – small actions protect vulnerable wildlife.

Give the gift of a teddy to an orphaned otter today, and help change a cub’s future with comfort and care.
