  • Joey is gaining weight and strength quickly. He's a little more active now and showing interest in his environment and the enrichment toys he is given to play with. But he's still not a huge fan of water... You can watch otter pup Joey and his friends live: / marinemammalrescue
    You can follow Joey's journey here:
    mmrpatients.org/patient/el200...
    Caring for a sea otter pup takes a lot of time and money. To help us care for Joey, you can symbolically 'adopt' him with a small donation to the rescue centre:

      What a wonderful world, yeah. But humans have expanded so much that we don't let animals live... And we (not even most of us, probably) are just *starting* to change habits only lately.
      Hopefully we'll be even more compassionate and much less selfish in the near future, tho it doesn't look like that's the case for the majority, sadly (so much cynicism...). And I'm not sure there's time, so many species go extinct already... global warming isn't helping at all, and it sure will get worse with time :(
      I'm not being negative btw, I'm just sooo worried :/

      If it's anything like the MMC in the SF Bay Area, then there are very few paid positions. Most staff are volunteers. The overwhelming majority of funds the organization takes in are allotted for the care, maintenance and preservation of the animal wildlife. It's about protecting and sustaining the wildlife into the future generations. It's a labour of love - and those involved sacrifice greatly.
