Oh my...I don't know what to say. I'm so very sorry this is happening to you.

I hope you are able to find good homes for your tortoises. If you weren't so far away, I'd take them in an instant.

I'm so sorry. :(

I would take them, but I am in the Cleveland area. So still pretty far. Good luck.

I.... I am very sorry. If I had the money and the space, I would take one for you, but I am very new to tortoise keeping and I do not have the funds.

I wish you the best of luck... I'm sorry again :(

I'm trying to use mapquest to see how far Cleveland is from Cincinnati, but the mapquest site does not come up for me. If I can figure this out or ask my husband when I see him, I'll get back to this thread.

I could take the leopard(s) and will pay shipping. I'm also near orange county.
I have the space and resources.

I'll send you a message.

So sorry Tony. After reading the first post I got to thinking about how hard this sudden news is.

I sent a private message. If you or someone near you can ship to CA I'll pay the shipping cost and take the the leopard. I gave you my email address and you can message me if needed.

Thanks for being there for your brother.

My brightest blessings to you & yours. I beg the goddess that she helps in any way she or he can. I will light a candle for you...

As for the tortoises MiLady I'm sorry they need a new home; but obviously you made the right decision. We are a huge Redfoot home & have many friends for the leopard as well, large land & educated. Blessed be ....

I am so very sorry you and your family have to go through this. I wish you the most peaceful days to come. Take this time to be with your brother and family. The tortoises can be dealt with later. We will all help you get them to their new home when the time comes. Please don't worry about them for now. Be with your loved ones and enjoy the time you have left together as much as you can. I am so very sorry:(
