The Central MS Turtle Rescue is a rescue and rehabilitaton facility for turtles and tortoises located in Mississippi. CMTR rescues and rehabilitates turtles and tortoises that are injured, sick, abandoned, abused, or neglected with the goal of releasing all native, wild turtles and tortoises back to the wild. Turtles and tortoises that cannot be released are found permanent placement. CMTR also serves as a resource to pet owners, environmental causes, and conservation efforts and provides education to students, veterinary professionals, and the general public.
Rescuing and rehabbing turtles is never easy or inexpensive! We can always use a helping hand to meet the care and financial needs of our rescue organization. We have come up with some unique and cost effective techniques to provide the best quality care these magnificent creatures need. However, care of an injured reptile is a lengthy and expensive process. They do not heal quickly and specialist veterinary care is expensive.
We are 100% donation-funded! We do not receive any money from the state or federal government. We simply could not do what we do without donors, and we are so incredibly grateful to those people who care about turtles and support our mission to save them.
See below for all the multiple ways you can help us help turtles in need. Any little bit helps us and is greatly appreciated!
We also hold fundraisers at various times throughout the year. Check out our Fundraiser page to see the items you can purchase to help us out.

We are a nonprofit organization in the State of Mississippi, recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt charitable organization. This means that all donations made to our charity are tax-deductible for you! Every penny helps! Please consider donating to our rescue through one of the options below. Thank You!
OPTION 1 - "Free but slow"
You can donate through the PayPal Giving Fund. The advantage to the PayPal Giving Fund is that PayPal covers ALL fees (which means we get every cent of your donation.) The drawback is that PayPal holds the funds for 15-45 days before releasing it to us.

There are two ways to donate through PayPal...
OPTION 2 - "Fast with fees"
If you'd rather see your donation get to us immediately, use the Donate Button below. Funds are available to us as soon as you complete the transaction. BUT, PayPal will charge its usual 2.9% fee. This means that while we'll get your donation faster, we won't get 100% of it.

The turtles here could sure use a few things. We provide all supplies, food, housing, and medical care for the turtles we take in, and we're always short on supplies. If you'd rather send a gift than make a monetary donation, this Wishlist has several items we could really use. Anything you purchase from this wishlist that is shipped directly to us is tax-deductible. This is similar to the old Amazon Wishlist, but one of the most important items on this Walmart Registry is the Walmart gift card. We can use that gift card to buy our weekly vegetables, fruits, and meats that we feed the turtles. We spend anywhere from $50 to $100 every week just in produce and meat to feed all the turtles here.

Many companies match their employees' donations or volunteer hours, doubling the amount the charity receives! Some companies even triple match! Additionally, some companies, like AT&T and others, also allow payroll-deducted contributions. Just set up a monthly amount to contribute through your employer, and it's taken care of for you monthly. This is a fantastic way to support us here at Central MS Turtle Rescue! Check with your employer today!
