Christina's Reptiles & Other Critters
& Mia's Menagerie
Live animal outreach programs & pet care education
Inspiring love for all earth's creatures
With over a decade of experience operating a nonprofit animal rescue shelter, I hope to inspire others to care about the welfare of these animals in both captivity and the wild. With my daughter by my side, we hope to share our love for these animals and encourage others to appreciate them and the roles they play in the wild.
We receive no state or federal funding for any of our services, and provide outreach programs largely out of our own pockets during our limited spare time. All proceeds collected through fees and sales goes to the care of our animals or furthering Mia's education.

Live Animal Outreach Programs
Promoting high standards of animal welfare through education and outreach.
As advocates for the responsible care of all species, we offer in-person outreach educational visits featuring a variety of animals for audiences to learn about.​ If you are interested in having me visit your school, summer camp, or other event please reach out to me to inquire.
* Please note, availability to deliver outreach programs is limited to specific regions within Vermont & New Hampshire at this time.
