ATASCADERO — Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the Charles Paddock Zoo is offering a unique way to show your true affection with Adopt-A-Cockroach. During the month of February, you can give that special someone in your life who is either very hard to shop for or who might just be the perfect person to receive their very own cockroach. Adopt a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach from the Zoo as a new and fun way to express your love, or perhaps lack thereof.

For only $7, you can name a cockroach and receive an official Certificate of Adoption that will include your special Valentine’s name to give them this year for Valentine’s Day. You can also upgrade your gift and book a special meet and greet with a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach or get a special T-shirt/ hoodie for your loved one.
