North Carolina Tortoise Sanctuary
The North Carolina Tortoise Sanctuary is a 501c3 reptile rescue and education organization located in Wake County, North Carolina. Our mission: provide rescue, rehabilitation, permanent sanctuary to reptiles in need. We also provide educational outreach programs to spread our love of these magnificent creatures.
Would you like to help the animals at NCTS? Please consider making a donation toward our new, energy-efficient winter tortoise barn. Currently, a significant portion of our expenses goes toward heating costs. A new, energy-efficient barn would provide much-needed space for our tortoises while reducing heating expenses, allowing us to put those savings toward helping even more of these incredible animals.
Nature is slow, but sure; she works no faster than need be; she is the tortoise that wins the race by her perseverance.
Henry David Thoreau
