Caring for Abandoned Redfoot Tortoises
At Torts R Us, we are dedicated to providing a safe haven for Redfoot Tortoises in Florida, ensuring they receive the care, shelter, food and ALL THE LOVE they deserve.
💔 They Didn’t Ask for This — But They’ve Found Safety Here
Many of these tortoises were abandoned, neglected, or surrendered after years without proper care. At Torts R Us, we believe every animal deserves dignity, health, and a safe place to live out their days. That’s what we provide — with your help.
📢 You can be part of their rescue story. Please consider donating, sharing this message, or spreading the word. Together, we can continue to answer the calls that come in, no matter how urgent.
🐢 These Tortoises Deserve a Fighting Chance
We currently care for 25 adult Redfoot tortoises, and calls for emergency rescues are increasing every week. Many of the animals we take in arrive:
With shell injuries, wounds, or signs of past trauma
Severely underweight or battling parasite infections
Cold-stunned or recovering from improper care
Female tortoises, with eggs, needing immediate support
Every tortoise that arrives here receives warmth, safety, proper medical care, and the time and space to heal — but the need is growing faster than our resources.
