Tori's Critters Price List - Private Events
An option for any budget
* Please keep in mind that other than travel fees, EVERYTHING raised goes straight to the care of our 50+ animals.
How do we arrive at your quote? We add up your base fee, travel fees and any add-ons options on our end. After that we see what discounts your event is eligible for and deduct those.
Please be advised that the base price is NOT your end total and you will need to contact us to receive a final price quote.

Deposit policy:
-
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your event date. Remaining balance is due prior to setup on the day of the event.
-
If the event is canceled by the host, the deposit is forfeited. In some cases, we may be able to transfer the deposit toward a future event date at our discretion.
-
We strongly prefer indoor, climate-controlled events for the safety and comfort of both guests and animals.
-
Outdoor events are weather permitting and can only be guaranteed when temperatures are expected to remain between 65–80°F with no significant rain or high winds forecasted.
-
If unsafe weather conditions are forecasted and no suitable indoor option is available, Tori’s Critters LLC reserves the right to cancel outdoor appearances for animal safety.
-
If we must cancel due to weather-related safety concerns while the host chooses to continue the event outdoors, 75% of the deposit will be refunded within 7 business days. The remaining portion covers scheduling, administrative, and preparation costs already incurred.
