Our Story

How was Tori's Critters Started?

  • Tori's Critters Started out as a small animal rescue in Cumberland County years ago, but closed in 2015 due to personal reasons. 

  • During this time we had a special permit with NJF&W to rehome exotic animals 

  • When the rescue was still open, we began bringing our many adoptable and personal pets to local schools to educate the public and raise funds for the rescue critter's care 

  • After the rescue closed we decided to continue the classes because we love to educate and all the funds raised (minus travel fees) goes straight to caring for our pets, most of whom are rescues.

What services do you offer?

  • We do have 2 openings for mature, responsible volunteers with open availability. 

  • If you are interested in volunteering and getting some hands on experience with many different species, please feel free to contact us.

  • We currently are not looking to fill any paid positions - but when we are ready, long time volunteers will have first dibbs

Are you a rescue?

  • We are NOT a non profit rescue or actively taking in animals.

  • Tori's Critters LLC is a registered business who owns the animals we've rescued and travel with them to many types of events to help educate the public.

  • Our main focus is education but we do take animals into our foster network if need be. We also help people find safe homes or rescues for their animals.

  • I specialize in what I've come to call "satellite adoptions". This is where I do all the "leg work" (applications, screening, vet check, home check etc) for people wanting to adopt animals. Then, when I get someone that needs to surrender a critter, I can put them directly in touch with the approved adopter. This helps the animal not get bounced around 2x

Do you take donations?

  • Yes, we do take donations for the animals and the behind the scenes maintenance. 

  • We are NOT a 501c3, so any donations are not tax-deductible

  • We accept animal supplies, cleaning supplies, craft/office supplies and gift cards.  

  • We have provided links to our amazon wish lists if you are interested in donation.
