A red slider was found in the parking lot of an apt. complex, it was covered dirty and probably burned from walking on the hot asphalt. I've been keeping her since for the last two days, but I do not have any resources/equipment to keep her healthy. One of her eyes is swollen and I'm not entirely sure her hind legs are working properly. I called my local rescue shelter but was heart broken to hear they don't have any room for her. I am at a loss for what to do, I'm totally broke, my friend was going to help me make the donation, I really don't have the gas money to go outside of Orange County, CA -- ( like Im' sorry this sounds so terribly pathetic, but I don't want this animal to die because of my pride, I just wanted to help it and not let it get crushed by a car)
Does anyone know of any OC shelters that could take her ( Apparently not the RROC)? Or is there a good Samaritan out there who can take her in the condition she is in?
Again many apologies for the desperation in my post, but I am in way over my head and I want the turtle to be as comfortable as possible.
( She's about 5-6 inches length)
