Patient Updates
Sealvester is enjoying life in a pool and is growing up fast!
Sealvester has graduated fish school and is officially eating on his own! It won’t be long until he is in a pool with some new friends!
Sealvester still needs assistance eating his fish but has made great progress over the last few days.
Sealvester is still in fish school ─ and apparently not too fond of his caretakers. We try and stay clear of his teeth...
He may be new but he sure is big! Sealvester is still on formula but is having no issues gaining weight and will hopefully start fish school soon!
Get well soon, Sealvester! We’re rooting for you!
Keep up the good work Sealvester! You’re a handsome boy who is loved! Sending love and hugs! xoxo
Thank you MMR and IWNCC for caring for Sealvester/Scooter ❤️. He was such a sweet, trusting baby seal. So grateful to fisheries for picking him up so quickly and all the care provided to him since.
Hoping a picture(s) can be updated before his release. It’s been wonderful seeing him grow strong and gain lots of weight!
Stay wild Scoots! ❤️
Good Job Sealvester!! xoxo
Congratulations Sealvester!!! You did it! Hope you make new seal friends and stay healthy out there! Thanks to everyone involved in helping and releasing Sealvester!
