We have a wide selection of friendly small animals that are great for entertainment and education.
All animals are our pets and therefore they receive the best care and attention possible, thus making them some of the most friendliest critters around.
We have:
-Birds (from finches to parrots and chickens)
-Reptiles (snakes, lizards and tortoises)
-Insects and amphibians
- Ferrets and rabbits
We can be indoors or outdoors.
If you would like to know the exact species we have, feel free to contact us for an updated list.
We can customize packages to fit into any price range and event type!
The kids and adults had a blast with Tori! She was friendly, easy and quick to communicate with during the booking process and the animals were amazing! Kids aged 5 through 10 plus the parents were enraptured by Tori and the animals. It was a wonderful experience for the birthday boy and everyone said it was the best party. Thank you, Tori!

We booked Tori kind of last minute for an event and we are so glad we found her! Out of all our vendors and activities, our guests loved this the most! Tori was SO easy to work with, very detail oriented, and so kind and polite!
The "critters" were amazing and Tori and her husband were equally amazing interacting with our guests.
You will not be disappointed in booking her! Thanks Tori for a great day!
Response from Tori's Critters LLC:

We had Tori come out to our children's joint birthday party (ages 6 and 8). We had about 35 kids at the party, ranging from ages 2 and up. Tori was so good with all of the kids! She was patient and captivating, as we had many excited kids. She explained about each animal, let the kids pet them, and then a good portion of the time was allowing the kids to get a one-on-one experience with the animals. The kids got to hold the snakes, put them around their necks, and go into the pen with Tortellini (the tortoise) and the bunnies. Our kids and their friends are still raving about their experience with Tori and her animal buddies! Thank you for helping make our party memorable, Tori!

Awww what a wonderful review! I’m so very glad everyone enjoyed the critters !
Tori's Critters did an amazing job bringing a petting zoo to our facility. We have a lot of noises in our facility due to vents and monitors going off and the animals seemed at ease with all the noise. She brought an extra animal and went around modifying her interaction with our children who are unable to move. Both staff and the kids loved it! I'd recommend hiring Tori's critters!
Tori’s Critters were on time, friendly, and interactive! The kids loved all of the critters and were talking about them for hours!
Tori’s Critter’s did not disappoint. Adults and children truly enjoyed all of the animals. Everyone is still talking about the amazing experience. Could not be happier with our choice to use Tori’s Critters.
Response from Tori's Critters LLC:

I’m so thrilled he loved his keychain so much.
And it just melted my heart how much he adored Tortellini !

Tori was fantastic! She was so good with the kids, the animals and so patient and encouraging! She was the highlight of the party for sure! She was so prompt, set up and cleaned up so quickly and fulfilled requests based upon some of our guests animal preferences. We Couldn’t recommend her more!
Response from Tori's Critters LLC:

Tori brought some of her best critters to our son's 3rd birthday party and it was such a huge hit! I've never seen a group of toddlers sit so nicely and they got to pet all of the animals! Tori was fantastic and let some of her bigger critters roam around for the kiddos to check out. The adults had a great time too! I don't know how we will top our son's birthday next year!
Response from Tori's Critters LLC:

Tori's Critters is awesome. From the very beginning of the booking process to the day of the event, Tori was easy to communicate with...prompt and informative responses.
Tori and her team were the highlight of our 3 yr old's birthday party. They were great with our crowd of kiddies (between ages 2-7) and the adults. They encouraged everyone to meet the animals, which was great! And, Tori even brought surprise animals!!! I cannot say enough good things about Tori and her crew. I would definitely recommend Tori's Critters!!!
Response from Tori's Critters LLC:
You guys were amazing to work with. We were so pleased that many of your guests enjoyed our creepy critters. It always makes our day to have people experience new things and step outside their comfort zone. I'm very proud of you for holding Calypso!
Tori and her critters were amazing!! We hired Tori for an 8th birthday party and all the kids loved the animals. Tori was awesome to deal with - friendly, super communicative, reliable and responsive. On the day of the party, Tori and her helpers arrived early to set up and the presentation was fun and informative for all the kids. We could not have had a better experience! I would highly recommend Tori's Critters!!
Response from Tori's Critters LLC:

Thank you so much for your review.
You guys were a great group and I'm glad everyone enjoyed the extra additions!
I had Tori's Critters for my child'support 2nd birthday and she was absolutely AMAZING! They arrived early than expected which was great. Tori and her workers were very friendly and attentive with the children. They bought a touch table for the kids to a chance to get a up close and personal look some furs and scales which was awesome. The all around experience was just awesome. I will definitely use in the future and recommend to all my friends.

Tori's Critters started out as a rescue but closed down in December 2015 due to lack of funds and an ill family member.
While the rescue was open, we began to do these shows to raise funds as well as awareness about proper animal care.
After the rescue closed, we continued to do the classes as Tori loves to teach and all the funds raised (minus travel expenses, goes directly to the care of the animals)
Most of our animals are rescues which makes this even more special, as it teaches kids that just because your different, it doesn't make you any less awesome!
We have a wide variety of small animals available for parties and educational visits. We've done all types of events including:
Family reunions
Block parties
Kid birthday parties
Adult parties
Festivals
Daycares
Homeschool Co-ops

And much more
