Who was going to adopt my sulcata rescue?

[Yvonne G]

A couple or three months ago I took in a 40lb male sulcata and had been corresponding with someone here about adopting him. They are in SoCal and have been busy re-vamping the outdoor pen and house for the tortoise.

It's been several weeks since I've heard from her, and now I'm trying to remember her username and I can't bring it forward.

If you are reading this, I need to know how soon you can come get the tortoise. He's getting pretty settled and I really don't want that to happen. Besides which, I need my backyard to be tortoise-free.

If I don't hear from you in a week or so, I'm going to have to find someone else to take the tortoise.

If you don't find someone I can take him in! I'm in SoCal as well

I'm thinking she might get cold feet after second thought. But I'm glad that you have a member line up for him now.

Wait a minutes.....................

Yes it is!! But because I have a 110lb male sulcata of my own, my space for keeping male sulcatas is limited, so when I get one in I really can't afford to keep him for any length of time. I need to free up the space for the next one that comes in.

Hi
Yvonne!
I was who wanted to adopt. Enclosure and house are done, but I have now a transportation problem which I am not sure when will be resolved.
I am in the sacramento area, I think around 3 hours away and my van is unsafe to drive without $2000 of work. So that's my issue. If someone else adopts, that will be ok, but if not I will be trying to find a way to come get him if a works out.

Sacramento isn't that far.

It's not very far by car, but very far by foot lol! Unfortunately, I have never been without transport in my life and now I am.

Of course! Now that I see your username I remember who you are. The space looks great.

Do you have any idea when you will have wheels? I can hang on to him for you now that I remember who you are and know why you haven't come down. (I don't know why I thought you were in SoCal.)

One (or two) day of rental vehicle might work. I've been warned of the smell however.

Haha. No problem, i should have let
You know what the hold up was. I am not sure when I will have a car again. I was working on buying an acquaintances car but she's been kind of flaky. So while it is possible next week, it is also possible not for a month. I don't want to hold up his adoption. So if someone else wants to adopt, don't hold him for me, but if not I will take him and let you know soon as I have transport. Thanks!!

Maybe there's someone that can transport him? Or give you a lift?

I don't have a credit card which they require.

I really think you could find someone on here that could drive.

Maybe Yvonne will take a vacation from her cave to head north?
