I’m on the r/tortoise subreddit on Reddit and someone has just posted this about a Desert Tortoise in bad need of rescue.
Need help re-homing an abused desert tortoise; please read
Recently my brother became homeless and was no longer able to care for his desert tortoise. My brother did a lot of drugs, and was at times caught being very questionable in regards to physically abusing his tortoise, caught once on a security camera trying to drown it. I felt so bad for this tortoise and always tried to help it, I just never knew how.
I like in a small apartment with THREE cats, and it’s no longer a realistic goal to try and have the animals coexist, my cats are obsessed with trying to get it.
I live in California and can’t find many resources or places I would be able to take it. It’s about 5 years old and was living on moldy t-shirts when he gave it to me so I don’t know if it has any illnesses
Any advice or links or people willing to help welcome
I’m in California but not close enough to Orange County and unable to rescue myself so I’m posting here to see if anyone else is capable of helping.
Thanks so much!
