Today another stray tortoise was found on the Gibauderie in St Peter Port.
If you live in the area and missing a tortoise please do get in touch.
'Riley' as staff and volunteers have named the male, adult Herman's tortoise is not chipped and we have had no reports of a missing tortoise.
Each year we see around 30 stray tortoise 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.

This morning Jessie seems to have moved West. After being located in and around St Andrews and St Martins for the last few weeks and working to catch her we have had reports this morning she had been spotted in Perelle this morning and at 2200hrs this evening a sighting near the Fleur de Jardin.
Previously Jessie the stray beagle cross has been seen on multiple occasions in and around the St Martins, St Andrews, St Peter Port and Forest area and we have been trying to feed her in and around a trap central to these locations.
Over the weekend staff and volunteers at the GSPCA have been out to multiple locations in search of Jessie.
Jessie the stray beagle cross is being seen on multiple occasions in and around the St Martins, St Andrews, St Peter Port and Forest area and we now have her feeding in and around a trap central to these locations.
Although GSPCA team members have got within metres of Jessie she is extremely nervous and takes off at speed when approached so we are using the trap as the best way to capture her.
The GSPCA would like to report we are moving forward trying to catch Jessie the stray dog.

We are always looking for happy endings at the GSPCA and this week we’ve had two tortoise success stories.
Last week two stray tortoise were found one near Oatlands and another in St Saviour’s.
We advertised them both on our web site and social media and thanks to our facebook page both owners saw their beloved pets and contacted us and were shortly after reunited.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It was lovely to reunite both tortoise with their owners Monroe as we called her was actually Charlie and Hugo was actually called Troy.”
Yesterday we told you about Dude a very sick old stray cat that was found on the Bridge in St Sampson's.
He has just arrived back from the vets having had some tests and is a very tired lad so is currently asleep after a long day.
We are pleased that thankfully he has tested negative for feline aids and leukemia, but we have discovered he has high blood pressure which has resulted in his eyes hemorrhaging which has caused a loss in his sight.
We are awaiting further results which include tests for his thyroid and renal.
Earlier this week we reported on Jubilee an injured stray cat that was rescued in the Castel area.
We would like to thank everyone for their donations towards Jubilee and we are pleased to report his eye is healing extremely well and he is improving daily.
He has had a full week of treatment and continues his assessment and time as a stray within the Animal Welfare Ordinance as all stray animals must be kept for a minimum 21 days at the GSPCA
Just over a week ago a stray, female, tortie and white cat of around one year of age was brought into the GSPCA from St Peter Port.
On arrival she wasn't in the best of conditions with a very dirty coat, full of flea's, not acting very well in herself and extremely thin.
With no microchip or identification we are appealing for an owner to come forward, but it does appear that she had been out for some time.
