Hi Everyone!
I am not a tortoise owner... yet ! I keep looking to adopt a tortoise but I am having trouble finding one. I am not picky, I did my research on most species. I live in the Southern California area. So I need your help! If you find a tortoise give me a link and a reply! My only problem are sulcata tortoises. I don't think I could care for it when it gets bigger. It is not fair to the .

Thanks and luv!!!!

Welcome to the Forum have you checked with the CTTC and find a chapter near you? Have you checked your local animal shelters?

I checked but there was nothing. I didn't want to buy a tortoise because I want to give another one another chance

The CTTC during winter usually does not have a lot up for adoption. when the spring rolls around and there are a lot waking up and escaping is when they usually have the most up for adoption.

And welcome to another So Cal member

You may want to try the CTTC here in the high desert

And Captain is correct in regards to the CDTs being on the snooze right bout now...however, I would give them a call and see what they project for Feb/March....

Welcome to TFO and good luck on your search. A bit of caution...they are addicting, so you may find yourself wanting more than one. I am glad you have decided to go the rescue/rehome route. There is a tort out there for you, you just haven't made the connection yet.
