I am looking for someone who would be able to foster my tortoise Cleo for a couple of years. Or at least in the winter months, but I know that would be more difficult. She is a 7 year old leopard tortoise and is a funny, sassy, and stubborn tort lol. I got her when I was 15 and am now graduating college. I will be unable to take care of her for the next couple of years as I take on temporary job positions across the country. I love her so much and want to have her with me when I am in a more permanent position/home. I want her to have the best life and the best care. I could possibly leave her with my parents during the warm months, but they would not be able to take care of her in the colder months. Right now she has a heated house for colder days, but I bring her inside when it is rainy or not sunny or below 50. I live in North Carolina so she has really only been inside a couple days a week from December to probably the end of February, although she is usually at least able to get a few days outside or a few hours outside on worse days when the weather clears up. In a couple of years I hope to make that situation even better. It would be amazing if she could go with someone who has or has had tortoises. I would be able to pay you expenses to cover her food/water and electricity use but not much else. I know this is a strange situation, but like I said, I want her to be in the best care. I also would not want her mixed in with males for breeding. I would be willing to drive to you if you are in the southeast. It would be great if there is someone in Florida so that she can be outside year round without any problems. I would be able to bring her heated house and a lot of other stuff like heaters, lights. I will be eternally grateful to someone who would be able to take care of her, like I said I want her to have the best life and it is really hard to think about not being with her everyday, but I want to do what's best for her.
