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.

πŸ’” They Didn’t Ask for This β€” 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 β€” with your help.

πŸ“’ 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 β€” but the need is growing faster than our resources.

A tortoise is walking on a textured, light-brown surface made of stone or tile. The tortoise's shell is dark brown with lighter brown patterns. In the background, there are shells and a piece of driftwood, partially blurred, set against a green grassy area.

I was amazed by the dedication of the staff towards the tortoises. It's a wonderful place for these animals.

A large tortoise with a textured, domed shell is resting on the ground. Its legs have thick, scaly patterns, and it is surrounded by sparse grass and small, colorful twigs.
