OUR STORY
The Isle of Misfits is a five acre farm in Tampa Bay Florida that is home to over 20 rescue animals, including several with complex medical needs.
Our slogan: Adopt the Weird Ones!
Hi! My name is Paige and I created the Isle of Misfits after moving to Florida from Kentucky in 2009. The IOM is the unofficial name given to my home after I began fostering and adopting animals with complex needs. Since 2009, many previously “un-adoptable” animals have found their way to my home to live out their days among other specially-abled animals like themselves. The animals are the real stars here; I’m just the leash-holder and the voice behind the computer.
The IOM is no longer a non-profit organization, and I do not collect monetary donations of any kind. I do, however, have a plethora of adaptive equipment that I have collected over the years, and am happy to give away for free to any Tampa Bay family in need. If you live in the Tampa Bay Area, and your pet is in need of a wheelchair, drag bag, halo, stroller, or cold laser machine, feel free to reach out to me at adoptheweirdones@gmail.com. Put “EQUIPMENT” in the subject line, and I am happy to see if I have anything that will work for your pet.
I am also a maker of many things, and if you would like to support what I do here at the farm, feel free to take a look at my online shop where I sell a myriad of handmade creations.
Thank you for your support, and remember to always #AdoptTheWeirdOnes !!!
