Can you post a picture of it?
Can the tortoise easily get in and out?

As long as it is shallow, low sided, and offers good traction to wet tortoise feet, yes.

If not, then a terra cotta plant saucer sunk into the substrate will work great.

They like to climb in and sit in the water, so if the cat dish isn't big enough for that, then it wouldn't be good.
