Specializing in Turtles and Tortoises
CuetaraCare Animal Rescue & Sanctuary is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and providing lifelong sanctuary to animals who have been abandoned, neglected, or have nowhere else to go. From cats and dogs, turtles and tortoises to farm animals and other creatures in need, every animal that arrives at CuetaraCare receives compassionate care, proper habitat, nutrition, and medical support. As a small, privately run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of people who believe that every life deserves safety and dignity. Your tax-deductible donation directly helps provide food, veterinary care, shelter, and enrichment for the animals in our care, allowing us to continue rescuing those who need us most. Together, we can give vulnerable animals the second chance—and the safe haven—they deserve.
Made possible by the generosity of
Cecelia Wilson.
CuetaraCare (CARS) is a family run non-profit group dedicated to Animals through rescue, sanctuary, and education. We rescue, rehabilitate, release, rehome when possible or provide sanctuary. Currently we have many different types of animals enjoying their forever home here.
Although, we just received our non-profit status in 2024, we have been rescuing, fostering and providing a home for animals for over 50 years. Our love and devotions to animals is one of our greatest qualities.
Specializing in turtles, and tortoises.
This is a male Box Turtle. His coloring is amazing. These guys lose their coloring in indoor habitats and it takes years for it to come back with an outside habitat. At CuetaraCare we currently have 6 box turtles. They live outdoors in the warmer months and have an indoors habitat for hibernation in the cold months.
(& Mini Pigs)
They get fresh fruit and veggies, soaked turtle & tortoise food and calcium.
