This season, your donation helps bring hope and healing to the patients who need it most.

From nutritious meals to life-saving rescues, each giving level reflects a meaningful way to support the animals in our care and ensure they can return to their ocean home. All holiday gifts will be matched by a generous donor, meaning your gift will have double (or even triple) the impact. Thank you for making a difference for wildlife this holiday season.

Our malnourished seal and sea lion pups have not yet learned to hunt and eat fish and must be tube-fed the nutrition they desperately need. Three or more times a day, these pups are given fish smoothies – wholesome and nutrient-rich herring with added vitamin supplements blended together into a life-saving smoothie.

Sea lions are the ultimate cuddle puddlers! Your gift helps provide clean, safe and comfortable environments for our sea lion patients to heal and recover together. Companionship reduces stress and encourages normal social behavior.

Provides 77 pounds of sustainably sourced fish to feed sick, injured and malnourished marine mammals. $100 will feed a seal or sea lion patient for three days. Nutrition is the single most important thing to ensure our patients return to their ocean home.

Provides patients with access to elements of their natural habitat and sensory tools. These enrichment items assist in mimicking our patients’ natural environment during rehabilitation and keep them active, curious and engaged. Mental stimulation reinforces the survival skills animals need when they return to their ocean home.

Covers two whole weeks of nutritious fish meals for three recovering pups. We feed our patients sustainably caught herring – a fish high in protein, healthy fats and vitamins. Herring’s composition makes it easy for compromised patients to digest and absorb nutrients quickly, which is critical for survival.

Funds the response and rescue operations that bring sick and injured marine mammals to our hospital for care. Timely and skilled intervention often determines whether an animal survives.

Provides full-spectrum rehabilitative care for a pup for two months, including daily meals (up to 9 pounds of fish), medical treatment, diagnostic tests, monitoring and enrichment. Intensive care helps young patients build strength and essential skills for the second chance at a full life they deserve.

Supports the full medical and rehabilitative care of an adult seal or seal lion patient, including nutrition (up to 13 pounds of fish per day), medical treatment, diagnostic tests, monitoring and enrichment. Adult animals often suffer from malnutrition and complex medical issues, such as infections or injuries from entanglements, fishhooks, gunshots and shark bites.
