More than 350 animals, birds, reptiles and fish from the now-closed Shell Factory & Nature Park have found homes in Southwest Florida, Michigan and Alabama, with the final few animals to be rehomed by the end of November. The efforts to find homes for unique animals and critters, including a variety of birds, iguanas, tortoises, alligators, fish, a camel and more from the 4.5-acre Nature Park involved collaboration between the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission, U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Shell Factory Nature Park for transport and relocation to approved facilities with qualified caretakers. After all the animals are rehomed later this month, a final walk-through with FWC is planned to review the final acquisitions list. During placement efforts, the Shell Factory staff continued to care for the animals, and no animals were sold. To ease their transition to new homes, Shell Factory staff sent detailed care instructions along with favorite toys, dietary preferences and more.
