Testimonials
The first thing that will strike you about the Club Members is their passion for tortoises. When we decided to adopt a tortoise we made contact with the Norfolk Tortoise Club. The first thing they did was made sure we were suitable for our tortoise and that the tortoise we would be adopting was suitable for us. Great communication between us and the Norfolk Tortoise Club. They did a home visit to make sure our garden was safe and offered really good advice and made some fantastic suggestions on making sure the new addition would be happy. It’s been a few months now and we’re still in contact with the Club, we know above all that they’re on the other end of an email or phone if we need assistance with anything. I really can’t recommend and thank the Norfolk Tortoise Club enough. Andrew, Thorpe St Andrew
I read an article on The Tortoise Club in the local paper and decided to contact them to see if I could adopt a tortoise. After sending some information and photos, the cCub told me that they probably had a tortoise that would be suitable for me to re-home. They came to visit me and gave me much advice regarding a warm indoor space for bad weather and secure area the tortoise. I then visited Charles who I understand when rescued had pneumonia and is over 60 years old. Charles soon made himself at home, he spends most of his day roaming the garden eating the many weeds and plants that I have in his area, he doesn’t seem too happy having baths but is very friendly and loves having his chin rubbed. I currently have fun trying to remove the windfall greengages before he gets to them, the few he has succeeded to get I know about because he leaves the stone behind. Many thanks to the Norfolk Tortoise club for letting me adopt Charles who like me is an OAP but I am sure we will have many happy years together. Jan Corbitt, Thetford.
The Norfolk Tortoise Club has recently helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life during which time the welfare and future of tortoises kept for almost forty years by my now late husband was an overwhelming worry. Long, helpful telephone calls full of advice and support and the eventual collection of the tortoises by kind members of the Club who made me realise I was not a failure. I am now reassured that my dear husband’s tortoises can have a safe and happy future. I cannot thank the Club enough. Barbara, North Yorkshire
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the tortoise check up event I attended. The health check event was a great day, we learned loads about the species and sex of our tortoise. Spencer was actually a girl and is now officially called Lady Diana Spencer.! Jo, Kings Lynn
My parents and I visited the Tortoise Club after browsing through the website and deciding it was the best place to help us find a new home for our tortoise. When we actually visited and saw the indoor and outdoor homes for other tortoises, we were very impressed with the level of care and expertise the tortoises are treated with. We have absolutely no doubts that our tortoise will receive the best life that he deserves and we are certain that he will be happy and well looked after. Haija, London
Just a quick follow up email to say a very big thank you for taking in Gerry. It was lovely to meet you yesterday and we could see immediately that he will be in safe and caring hands. I hope he is behaving himself so far. Thank you also for your hospitality – you have an amazing place! Phil, Cambridge
A very big thank-you to Norfolk Tortoise Club. When I was faced with the very difficult decision of re homing my tortoises, who I had owned for 36 years, I spent a long time looking for a suitable home (almost two years) due to emigrating. I came across The Norfolk Tortoise Club. I was very impressed with all the information on the website. I contacted the Club, they were so friendly and helpful. The first thing that struck me was their kindness, knowledge and dedication towards tortoises. Giving up my tortoises was heart breaking, I miss them very much but I know that they will be well looked after and very happy in their new home. A very big thank you to the volunteers for showing me all the wonderful tortoises who all looked very happy, what an amazing place you have and many thanks for the updates, which really helped. I would highly recommend the Norfolk Tortoise Club, whether it’s for re-homing a tortoise or some advice for a pet tortoise. What a wonderful job you do, truly 5 stars. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart. Yvonne, Leicester
