Crazy Critters Inc.

Crazy Critters Inc. Crazy Critters Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Non-profit Organization. Who are Crazy Critters? Ken and Cherrice Purvee have been working together since 2001.

This FWC Amnesty location is also contracted partners with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Animal Control Division, neighboring county animal programs, and the community. We have been making raising plants and animals as natural as possible a life motto. For the past few years, always open to adopting exotic animals. Making people feel secure knowing their loved pet has a happy forever home. Most

ly Tortoises and Turtles call Crazy Critters home. What makes us unique is that after adoption, Crazy Critters continues to share the lives of the pets on social media. Providing an additional continued connection. Our missions are:

To end exotic pet abuse, neglect, and misunderstanding through responsible pet ownership education. Promote conservation, rules, and regulations. Help the State of Florida with invasive species issues. End capturing of all wild animals for the food and pet trade. Educate the community about the environmental niches for native and invasive species of plants or animals. Provide healthy diverse species of turtles that will help conservation through captive breeding programs that will eliminate the need for poaching wild specimens.

OMG! I just hosted the largest tour ever! 1 to 6 people is $100, so three times the guests is three times the fee!

Cha-ching for the critters!

Speaking of the critters!!!!... Many people are reaching out about critters they had surrendered. Worried we are going to sell them too.

While we ARE selling our property, we are NOT selling any of the critters.

Yes, we are selling the infrastructure for an animal facility. However, we are taking our companies and all the critters with us when we relocate.

If the buyer of our listing operates in the same industry, they would occupy a second-generation space and can benefit from this added source of cash flow. Income-revenue programs aren't the only reason it'll be a good thing to purchase our property. Please click through to read more...

We are selling our property to relocate!

It includes two homes, barns, and infrastructure for a family farm or to operate it as an amazing animal facility!

Purchasing a family farm offers benefits such as access to land and capital, built-in mentorship, creating a lasting legacy, financial stability, tax advantages (including estate/income tax benefits), portfolio diversification, and the intrinsic satisfaction of continuing a family tradition and fostering a strong work ethic.

It provides a tangible asset that hedges against inflation and offers potential for passive income, while lowering entry barriers for new farmers through existing infrastructure and knowledge.

Located on 44A in Eustis, the front property is a 2,400+ sq. ft. block home on 4+ acres with three bedrooms and two full baths, a large kitchen, dining room, attached garage, and sunroom.

The home has Wood beams on the ceiling and Brazilian Cherry floors. The home's exterior walls were reinforced with pumped concrete and rebars. Added protection with a "safe room" and hurricane shutters.

The property is fully fenced, with an automatic gate and an oak-tree-lined driveway.

There is a large block barn with a bathroom and a separate mailing address from the home that can easily be turned into an Airbnb, a 2nd rentable dwelling, or a fulfillment and shipping center. Lots of storage with two sheds and three carports.

Mature Magnolia, Camphor, and Sycamore trees with a self-sustainable food forest on this property growing Cassava, Chaya, Gingers, Moringa, Papaya, Loquat, Banana, Pineapples, Sugar Cane, Sweet Potato, and more.

The back property is on 6+ acres and has a 1900+ sq. ft. wood-frame concrete siding home with three bedrooms and two full baths, an attached garage, an open front porch, and a large wrap-around back porch.

Kitchen features beautiful granite countertops, Quiet-Close Natural Hickory Shaker cabinets, double qt. Garbage Bin, Tip-Out Front Sink Tray, Spice Cabinet, and more. Bathrooms feature Glass enclosures, porcelain tile, and more.

The property is agricultural exempt property, fully fenced with an 8', 11.5-gauge chain-link fence and 4' and 5' fenced paddocks.

There is a greenhouse with almost 3.000 sq. ft. of growing space, one large barn-style coop, two sheds, one insulated shop, one carport, and a self-sustainable food forest growing Peaches, Moringa, Opuntia, Passion Fruit, Sugar Cane, Gin Berry, and more. There is also a collection of clumping bamboo.

10 acres, 2 homes, 2 barns, 4 sheds, 5 carports, 1 greenhouse, and more! $1,500,000.

Must show a "Mortgage Pre-approval Letter" or "Proof of Funds" document to schedule a viewing—all work to be done through Shipley Law Firm and Title Company in Mt. Dora, FL.

This is what possible pet stewardship looks like...
.. a family taking time to interact with a new possible adoption, hoping to become a family's pet. We see responsible keepers doing lots of research more and more often, and we are proud to be a small part of the journey!

Since we donated many of the wayward critters we have accepted over the last month or two to licensed zoos, I hit the reset button on our h**p porch today.

Keeping a reptile enclosure clean is essential to prevent your pet from getting sick. Please click through to read more...

Can you tell the difference between the ground-hatching Sulcata tortoise that I found last week here in a tortoise yard and the incubated hatchling we recieved from an FWC confiscation from a breeder.

The facility hatchling was found in an enclosure that housed a larger female for months while she was healing from an injury before being placed into a good home.

The 3 others were not taken because of an issue with the Sulcata specifically, but because the keeper had an illegal species without a permit! While we cannot go into details about the case, we can say the critters were housed well.

In fact, the keeper was licensed at one time but, due to health issues, did not renew his annual permits. Guess the online permitting system we have been using for only a couple of years works too well. Please click through to read more...

Let us know if you are interested in adopting one of these 4 Sulcata. $100 rehome fee.

We were blessed to spend time with our friends Jimmy Riffle and Heather Daly, owners of Scales, Tails, and Teeth, yesterday.

If we have accepted your gecko, bird, hedgehog, dragon, turtle, tortoise, snake, or opossum in the last few months, it is officially a permanent resident of the amazing zoo.

This includes Pokey, Michelangelo, Marley, Kingston, Red, Honey, and so many others!

Scales Tails and Teeth Wildlife Park is a private wildlife park and educational facility located in Anthony, Florida, owned and operated by Heather Daly and Jimmy Riffle, stars of Animal Planet's TV show Gator Boys.

Located at 5119 NE 97th Street Rd, Anthony, FL 32617.

Focus on intimate, educational animal encounters about reptile conservation, featuring alligators and other misunderstood wildlife.

Sometimes I fall in love with the critters I rescue. You can call me a hoarder if you wanna 🥹.

But to paint the perfect picture of who I am and what I do is to measure passion.

Let's face it! Ken and I are blessed to live this lifestyle.

We are just two people, living in the middle of nowhere, undereducated at the least, working together to make the most difference possible.

There is no way either one of us wants to take on too much, so hoarding is a continuous thought process. Please click through as I tell you why I want to "keep" one of our newest rescues named 'Sheldon'...
