We have a female red ear slider who is in her early 70's. She was sent to us from a woman in Oklahoma who was dying of a heart condition.The lady had called me and begged me to find a good home for her babies. She told us that she had these turtles since she was a young girl of 12 years. The lady had children but felt that they would not care properly for the turtles. She was 69 years old.I agree to take them.
An airline pilot brought the two turtles to my lobby. He had transported them in the cockpit of his plane. Quasimodo and Tudor Rose were their names.
I live in NYC. They stayed with me for 3 years until I could find a great home for them. The family that took the turtles lives in my neighborhood and have had Tudor Rose, who was renamed Chloe, for 18 years. Quasimodo died a few years ago.
Chloe has just come back to me for re-housing. The little boy who had her is now out of college and has a job where he is traveling a lot so he asked us to find her a new home with folks that are home most of the time.
Chloe had a new companion named Josh ( another female) who has been with her for 18 years.
Presently both turtles are living at the Wild Bird Fund, a wildlife rehab center in NYC. -
