Sponsor-a-Critter Program

The critters at the SSNSC provide a wonderful opportunity for children and adults to learn about the natural world - the animals and the habitats in which they live. In return we provide them with the best possible life by recreating their natural habitat with suitable shelter and food, and obtaining veterinary care when needed. Most of the animals at the South Shore Natural Science Center have been injured or rescued from possible harm. Sponsoring a critter provides needed funds to ensure high quality of life for these amazing animals. You can help by sponsoring one of these ambassadors of nature, for yourself or as a gift.

Please note: The SSNSC may remove animals from display. Animals are living creatures that can become ill or pass away.

All sponsors will receive an information sheet about their animal, a certificate and a personalized letter.  At the $20 level, sponsors will also receive a 4x6 photo of the critter:
