A Legacy of Love for Exotic Animals
- Taylor Michel
I grew up surrounded by camels—not just in books or zoos, but in my own backyard. My dad had a deep love for exotic animals, especially camels, and for years, he ran his own camel business. My grandfather shared that same passion, running his own petting zoo where families could experience the wonder of wildlife up close. My mom, who co-owns C&T Camels with me today, was also raised in a world filled with exotic animals, making our love for them something that runs in our blood.
When my dad passed away in 2016, I knew I wanted to continue what he started. He taught me that camels aren’t just animals—they’re companions, teachers, and a source of joy for so many people. I wanted to share that same joy with others, creating experiences that bring people closer to these incredible creatures.
C&T Camels isn’t just a business; it’s a tribute to my father and grandfather’s legacy, and my family’s lifelong love for animals. Every event, every smile, and every child who reaches out to touch a camel for the first time is a reminder of their passion that lives on.
I hope when you meet our animals, you’ll feel the love and history behind them—and maybe even make a few unforgettable memories of your own.
