Providing Sanctuary for Birds and Tortoises, and all Reptiles. This endeavor expanded to home for unwanted, or abandoned reptiles, and birds.

SOUNDS OF SILENT SPIRITS SANCTUARY started over 10 years ago when our two founders, Deb Henggeler and Regene Fonville, saw the desperate need to secure a permanent sanctuary for injured Desert Tortoises. Although we have helped other animals our primary purpose is to provide Sanctuary to Reptiles and Birds. To date we have over 50 tortoise and turtle enclosures that mimic each species natural habitat. Our other rescues consist of horses, goats, pigs, dogs, cats, and a variety of Birds. Although Sounds of Silent Spirits has accomplished a great deal we still have lots to complete at our Sanctuary in Lucerne Valley, CA. We need to build a few more aviaries, horse stalls, a winterized area for our hibernating Tortoises/Turtles, a new indoor snake and lizard habitat, and a new roof on the Barn. We encourage and rely on your donations of time, money, and animal supplies of all kinds.

Somewhere tonight, a few hungry little faces are waiting.

They don’t know how cold it is.
They don’t know how tired you are.
They don’t know what you’ve been going through.

They only know you’re coming.

They don’t see the bills piling up.
The sacrifices you’ve made.
The nights you’ve cried.
Or the days you wondered how you could possibly keep going.

They don’t know that sometimes you’re hurting.
That your body aches.
That your heart is heavy.
Or that you may be struggling just to get through another day.

But you still show up.

With a bag of food.
A familiar voice.
And a heart that refuses to forget them.

🐾 They recognize your footsteps.
They know the sound of your car.
They wait for that familiar voice calling their names.

And when the world is cold and unforgiving, you are the one thing they can count on.

No applause.
No recognition.
No one standing there to thank you.

Just a few little lives who depend on your kindness.

💔 And sometimes, when you feel like nobody notices how hard you’re trying, remember this…

To the world, you may be just one person. But to those forgotten little souls, you may be their entire world.

🙏 To every rescuer and colony caretaker who keeps going despite the exhaustion, heartbreak and sacrifices…

May God give you strength when yours is running low.

May He provide when your resources are running out.

And may He remind you that even when nobody else sees what you do, He does.

Because somewhere in the cold, a few hungry faces are waiting…

And because of you, they haven’t been forgotten. 🐾

A veterinary team in the Philippines fitted an Aldabra giant tortoise with four wheels to help support its hind legs and ease pressure while it walked. After the tortoise showed improved mobility, the wheels were removed and it returned to walking normally.

Did you know that CTTC has plenty of Mojave Desert Tortoises available for adoption? We work under California Department of Fish and Wildlife to permit and legally adopt out this endangered species. Adding a tortoise to your family is a great way to help protect this species. To learn more about adoption, please send us an email or a private message!
