Symbolic Adoption
You can help us care for Timbit and the more than 100 marine mammals we rescue, rehabilitate and release every year by symbolically adopting her today with a small donation to the rescue centre.
Patient Progress
Weaning Timbit is still being fed a zoological milk formula, but as her teeth are beginning to erupt, her diet is being supplemented with fish. Soon, she will enter fish school where she will learn how to eat fish on her own.
Patient Updates
Timbit is doing great! It won't be long now before she learns how to eat fish!
I was fortunate enough to be the Volunteer that got called to rescue Tim bit and get her to the flight to MMR. One of the tiniest Seal rescues I’ve done so far. So glad she is in care and doing well . I would love to be a part of her release day when she is ready if possible.
Hoping Timbit is doing well and eating like a champ! Any updates appreciated
