Found - Stray Tortoise - Unusual post for the GSPCA

On the 11th May a very different delivery was made by the post man.

A stray tortoise was fond on L'Ancresse by a Guernsey Post staff member and brought into the GSPCA.

'Skimmer' as staff and volunteers have named the male, adult  tortoise was found on La Garenne.

As with many tortoise Skimmer is quite distinctive.

Each year we help around 30 stray tortoise which are handed into the GSPCA and we find the owners for nearly every one.

Thankfully he is safe and warm at the GSPCA, but we are appealing for the owner to come forward.
