The Care Centre is a small home based hospital, advisory and emergency service catering to sick and injured tortoises and monkeys. It is also a sanctuary for animals who otherwise would have been destroyed. On this web page you will find advice on how to care for your tortoises and also links to other resources.

I used to cover the rescue of monkeys and other animals as well but due to financial restrictions this is no longer possible. I have left the pages up on what we did for monkeys for interest sake only. Also pages on monkey care and why they do not make suitable pets. The Centre is totally non-profit and runs on donations from the public and my own funding, if you can help here please email me.

The tortoises and terrapins come in sick, ridden over by lawn mowers and motor vehicles, and also attacked by dogs. Many tortoises fall ill as a result of incorrect feeding and housing. Cars, dogs, guns, firecrackers and snares injured the monkeys. Mostly this is due to humans feeding them and attracting them into built up areas. Some of the damage done is terrible, and the suffering these animals endure at the hands of man is horrific.
