Triple Your Impact for a Pup

As patients are flooding through our doors, this is the time when your help is needed most. There are more than 70 patients and young harbor seal pups like Firefall (pictured here) often need around-the-clock care.

With so many hungry mouths to feed, fish are flying off the shelves. But today, your precious gift will be matched up to $20,000.

For every $1 you donate, $2 will be added. That means you’ll be helping provide triple the fish meals, giving a pup like Firefall a second chance at life.

Triple my impact!

Veterinary Anatomic Pathology Resident Rotation in Marine Mammal Medicine and Pathology

The Veterinary Anatomic Pathology Resident Rotation is an opportunity for anatomic and clinical pathology residents in established programs (traditional and non-traditional tracks) or those that have recently completed a program, to gain experience in marine mammal anatomy and pathology. Rotating residents will provide postmortem data on our patients and select carcasses, which consists of phocids, otariids, and the occasional cetacean and sea otter. During their time at The Marine Mammal Center, they will become familiar with marine mammal gross necropsy and histopathology including classic diseases.
