Gift Vouchers
FONZ Memberships are a great way to get involved and support animals, and they make fabulous gifts. Gift Vouchers can be purchased directly over the counter, (or over the phone) for any of the levels or types of FONZ Memberships. Your recipient is then able to redeem the voucher at the front counter at a time convenient to them, and complete their own details to activate their Membership. Their Membership will begin from that point and not from the time of your purchase, so they will get more out of your gift!
