Volunteers building one of several new sun protection structures

“We are struggling and are reaching out to you for your immediate help. Even a $1 donation can tip the scale in our favor, so please Donate today.”

The unprecedented heatwave in Los Angeles has required us to build many additional Tortoise Houses to keep all our animals safe and out of the deadly sun.

So far it is working. We haven’t lost any of our beloved critters—but we’ve exhausted all of our financial resources in the process.

Further compounding the problem, most of our volunteers including our ‘Adults with Disabilities’ volunteers have not been able to help us out as we couldn’t risk their health in this extreme heat. Even worse, the heatwave has all but halted our “Adopt A Tortoise” program —a vital source of revenue—while requests for us to take in tortoises are way up.

Without your generosity, TortoiseLand may be forced to turn away tortoises, turtles, and creatures of any kind and the fate of Digger, Hollywood Sushi, Leo the Leopard, Big Red, and the rest of our critters is in jeopardy.

Please don’t let this happen.
