Patient Updates

Kenneth was released after 91 days in our care.

You can see the list of all animals released at this release in the release record.

It has been a while since Kenneth's last update but he made it to a small pool, and then a big one! He is in the final stages of rehabilitation and is competing well with with other seals. He is competing so well in fact that he has gained enough weight to be released! Any day now Kenneth will be headed back to the ocean!

Kenneth is in the final stages of fish school. Last we checked, he still needed a little bit of help. But he's getting there. Not long and he'll be off to a small pool to meet other seals!
