Patient Updates

Quatse was transferred to Vancouver Aquarium, Vancouver, BC after 74 days in our care.

"Fisheries and Oceans Canada has deemed Quatse non-releasable and she will remain in human care. Due to her young age at stranding, and her inability to forage for live food or escape predation, Quatse is not suitable for release back to the wild. "

Quatse is is doing well and gaining weight. Just what we want to see. Not surprising, though, given the size of her ice treats...

Quatse has been upgraded to an outdoor habitat with her own pool. She is slowly gaining weight, and a lot more active than when she was first admitted.
