The animal was taken to an RSPCA specialist facility in Nantwich, where veterinarians said it was being treated for eye inflammation.
Officials said the tortoise was likely a pet that either escaped or was abandoned by its owner. There was no identifying microchip, they said.
"The RSPCA is keen to decipher what happened to this tortoise -- and whether an owner is looking for her," RSPCA animal collection officer Ann Lloyd Williams said. "Posters have been put up locally."
