We are “Where Natural Science Meets Community.”
A Natural Science Hands-on Museum and Exotic Rescue/Reptile Zoo. We take in what the Humane Society will not. Mr.
(718)

Drew and His Animals Too! is an Educational Outreach Program and Rescue. We educate all ages by visiting schools, homes, churches, summer camps, campgrounds, etc. We bring in live animals to you that we have taken in and explain where they come from, how they arrived to us and all related information pertaining to that animal. I take in sick,neglected,abused or just plain unwanted animals and find proper homes. I DO NOT BUY OR SELL ANIMALS. To get an animal from me is a very long process. I only take in exotics. I do not take in zoo animals, farm animals, wild animals or cats and dogs. I will work with these animals and care for their needs and use them in my outreach programs after they are well socialized. Currently I have over 100 animals in my care and there seems to be no end to the need care. So before you buy a pet, contact me for a FREE consultation!

Today is our last day of the center being open. I wake up with a head and chest cold and sore throat and I went to pick up an employee, hit a curb because the sun was in my eyes and blew out my side wall.
Calgon…Take me away.

Six days left. (A rant from a Broken Mr. Drew)

I have not been at my education center because I NEED to be in three places at once. I have traveling show, I need to prepare my home for the animals that I am taking and be at the center preparing for a move rather than playing with the kids and educating about the animals.
I am beyond PI**ED OFF how some people have been treating my animals, my staff, my space and my things! It is completely unacceptable and I never wanted to close this place down as much as I want to do right now! Call it good, stick a fork in it, DONE!
I NEVER thought I would feel this way.
SO HERE IS HOW IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

1. If you plan to visit with multiple children, they are to remain in your little unit and not run wild. If you cannot do this - DO NOT COME.

2. If you do come and cannot watch your children and we need to speak repeatedly to your child we will publicly shame you before everyone and you will be told to leave the facility…think I am kidding? Let us find out. No refund and thank you for your donation.

3. We have built a safe and inclusive space for all and we understand that your child may be on a spectrum, Mrs. Drew and I have children on the spectrum in one form or another also and we even have a quiet room at the center for children who get overstimulated because we truly understand. This does not give them or you a free pass. You are aware of your child’s diagnosis please be responsible.

4. You are to listen to the rules set by my staff as they are the care takers of my animals and I am allowing YOU this unique experience and I do not have to.
If you are standing right there and my staff is telling your child to stop a behavior and you do nothing to correct the situation, you will be publicly shamed and told to leave the facility. No refund, thank you for your donation.

5. WATCH YOUR CHILDREN. They cannot take what they want NOR CAN YOU!
I am not a dying carcass that vultures can pick at. Do not make me prosecute you because I will!

6. We reserve the right to throw anyone out and you can write all the bad reviews you want if it makes you feel better. I do not care about your bad reviews, I do care about my animals, my staff and my wife.
Sticks and stones make break my bone but your bad reviews will never hurt me. This is a you problem, not me.

7. We are short staffed, my staff is exhausted and still fighting the good fight, knowing that they will be unemployed in six days. Treat them with respect, kindness and love. They work for me and do not have to put up with crappy, lazy parents.

8. If you feel this is directed at you, if you feel insulted, if you feel that I am being rude, mean or disrespectful…I DO NOT GIVE A S**T! Just stay home. I really do not need you or your B.S.!

In closing a majority of you are truly wonderful and many of you have been reaching out sharing so many positive and wonderful experiences and it has truly lifted my heart and has kept me going through these tough times, especially the strong support for my daughter.
I am aware that what has happened these past two week is not 99% of you, I know it is only 1% of new comers and I would prefer that they just stay home. It is truly sad that I end my time of the education center counting down the days until we close and feeling it cannot come fast enough. I am broken.
Peace and love in these wild times.

To all of our amazing patrons who will be visiting today. Unfortunately, due to multiple animals injuries in the touch tank, our Marine Touch Tank will be closed to the public today. We will reassess the animals tomorrow. Rough hands, overly excited children and unattended children will not be allowed to touch for the remainder of the week. Im so sorry. The animals come first.

Hello our Village! 💛 Mrs. Drew here.

I need to vent.....
Since we have announced our closing, we have experienced the most disrespectful, mind blowing rudeness, entitled, selfish customers. Every day we are finding things missing, broken and left in complete disarray. Parents are not watching their children, letting them run amuck. Our staff are not babysitters, they are handlers and keepers of animals who choose to share their wealth of information, educating all who enter. Now, its fairly clear that the majority of these folks are newcomers and NOT our supportive village. Our usual supporters would NEVER be this awful. Its distressing!
And, of course, Mr. Drew's meteorite is missing AGAIN! This is insane.
We only have 1 more week. We are not a carcass for the "vultures" to pick at!
I was not able to be in today because I needed to be with Janayla, and Drew had traveling shows. Had I been there, you can put money on that I would have taken care of this ridiculous business. I WILL be in next week and I will be on patrol and correcting those who cannot manage to act right. Also, for those who are there on busy days, its a common practice to not allow holding of some animals. They are living, breathing, sensitive animals NOT to be overwhelmed and abused. If we do not allow holding, there is a reason. How would you like being held by 300 people in 1 day. Think about it.
I am a firm believer in "there is a lesson in everything" but Im having difficulty coming up with a valid reason for all this foolishness.
We are trying to close down gently and give everyone the best experience, please help us do that.
As Mrs. Drew, I typically dont post such things but I too am overwhelmed, tired, distressed and have more on my plate than I can say Grace over. We want visitors. We need closing costs, payroll, lights, heat....ALL the things but staying open with this disappointing attitudes may not be the right choice. I honestly dont even know what to think.
Peace and Love Y'all!
Susan aka Mrs. Drew
