About Amazing Animals Inc

Amazing Animals Inc is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal preserve at 4235 Rambler Ave. in St. Cloud, Florida. Its stated mission is to inspire people to do something amazing for the natural world, and its mission page describes conservation through hands-on education. The organization says it is an accredited facility of the Zoological Association of America (ZAA).

Amazing Animals Inc is not open for walk-in visits. The preserve is open by appointment only, for booked private tours and events; guests book online or by phone. The organization also takes its animals to outside venues through an outreach program called Zoo to You.

History

According to the organization's history page, Amazing Animals was founded in 2009 as a federally licensed 501(c)(3) nonprofit and began as a small reptile rescue, raising funds to care for the reptiles its founder was rescuing. Its early work was educational outreach, taking reptiles to schools, nursing homes, daycares and birthday parties. In 2014 it moved to a 2.5-acre facility in Saint Cloud, Florida, to create a preserve for exotic animals in need.

Bay News 9 reported in February 2024 that the preserve was created by Kylie Reynolds and her husband Brian Braitsch in Osceola County, and that private tours and offsite programs are how it funds its work. The report says the preserve focuses on medium-sized animals rather than large predators, and that many of its animals are rescues.

Exhibits and habitats

The organization's history page says it houses more than 100 animals, including reptiles and mammals such as foxes, monkeys, kinkajous and bobcats. Its home page describes private tours led by guides in which visitors meet sloths and hand-feed capybaras, and it also offers a sunset capybara experience. Bay News 9 listed sloths, snakes, skunks and capybaras among the residents in February 2024, described the sloth house as a popular attraction, and reported on a young sloth named Liv born at the preserve. The same report says visitors can touch, hand-feed and photograph many of the animals.

Conservation and programs

The website lists several programs: private tours, a sunset capybara experience called Capybaras at Sunset, virtual encounters, Zoo to You mobile education programs, and animal ambassador programs. It also lists animal adoptions, volunteer opportunities, sponsors, vendors and conservation partners. The mission page says the organization is involved in institutional partnerships, rare species propagation and broader conservation initiatives.

The history page says the organization shares its animals' stories to raise awareness about protecting wildlife and their natural habitats, and that its educational programs travel to offsite locations. A September 2026 post on its blog announces Wild Cat Weekend 2026, held with Central Florida Animal Reserve and the Feline Conservation Foundation.

AZAThe Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Accredited members have passed an independent inspection of animal care and welfare, safety, conservation and education, repeated every five years. Many smaller facilities never apply, so “not accredited” isn't a verdict on its own. What accreditation means · How we check this
