Thanks to incredible supporters, we met our $15,000 match during Sea Otter Awareness Week!
As Canada’s only dedicated marine mammal hospital, we’re the ones called when a seal pup is stranded, a sea lion is entangled in debris, or an orphaned otter pup is in distress.
Your continued support ensures we can be there for the next call. Every adoption and donation helps us stay Rescue Ready for marine mammals in need.
Every rescue begins with someone like you. Your donation today provides urgent care for marine mammals in distress. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve already unlocked our $15,000 match—but the need doesn’t stop here. Your support can still make sure we are Rescue Ready for when the next call comes in.
