Found a Hurt Turtle?

• Licenced Wildlife Rehabilitators cannot accept unwanted pets.
• KTTC volunteers cannot pick up turtles for you.
• Handle turtles as little as possible. They can carry harmful bacteria such as salmonella.
• Record the road, major intersections, and mileage so the turtle can be released to the exact location where it was found.
• Large snapping turtles can inflict a nasty bite.
• Use a shovel or board to place the turtle into a box or open plastic tub.
• Do not transport turtles in water. Use a damp towel to keep eyes moist and covered.
