Animal adoptions do have a fee, it's varies based on the animals, which constantly change, it is best to visit in person not ask questions online as we will be slow to respond due to helping visitors and caring for animals. Adoptive parents should be accountable people that exercise pet owner responsibility.

Please, kind people only. Intolerant or verbally abusive people will not be accepted as visitors. People who are combative types, please do not come or troll the internet post. Kind hearts welcomed, please be a respectful visitor not "that person" life is short, let's smile and love.

COOL ZOO CONSERVATION, ZOOLOGICAL WILDLIFE ADVANCEMENT, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH FIXED FACILITY. NON-PROFIT CORPORATION is a Florida Not For Profit Corporation that does business as Cool Zoo or Mister Crabs d/b/a Cool Zoo.

Our humble beginnings started as an advisory and consulting agency to Zoological Parks, Theme Parks, Water Parks, FECs, and Resorts. As a passion project, the DeBerry Family elected to build the largest hermit crab sanctuary, rescuing thousands of crabs from death to reaching over 4000 animals and 400 species. With more than a decade of experience as executives in the zoological and animal advancement space, including at the iconic Silver Springs and Wild Waters, among others, the family begun to expand educational offerings and the Zoo was born. Cool Zoo is an independently operated and a privately funded wildlife conservation, supported by the DeBerry Family Irrevocable Trust through an endowment, as well as many individuals who contribute time and monies towards fundraising efforts to make Cool Zoo a better place for wildlife advancement. It is our mission to curate experiences through conservation, education, research, and agricultural impact for wildlife advancement not for entertainment and certainly not for profit for many generations to come. Our leadership team is members of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), Zoological Association of America (ZAA), and Federation of Animal Sanctuaries. Cool Zoo’s has two long term fixed facilities, in Central Florida, at 317 and 307 Skyblue, Auburndale, FL 33823, United States and 364 Highway 490, Chopin, LA 71447. These facilities are forever wildlife homes, a place where wildlife can safely roam without interference.

We hope to open an additional Wildlife Center in early 2023 in Orlando, Florida
