Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this donation
Quenara Foundation offers a symbolic sea turtle adoption that also works as a gift for a friend. It pays for night patrols and crates and fuel and vet care for turtles stunned by cold water.
Thank you for asking. No creature is sent to you. Your gift funds the rescue and care of stranded sea turtles and the turtle stays wild.
It funds patrol lights and logging supplies. It also covers crates and fuel for transport and vet exams and diagnostics and medicine.
When water cools fast a sea turtle grows sluggish and cannot swim well. Waves carry it ashore. It is a medical condition that needs a vet.
Thank you for caring. Please leave it where it is and do not push it back into the water. Call your local wildlife rescue line and give them the location.
Permitted rescue networks pick up and move every turtle and vets treat them. Our team funds the costs and runs logistics and never handles a wild patient.
Of course. You can donate in a friend's name and pass along the update that reaches your account.
A lovely question. Turtles in this program are not named. Your gift supports the care of every turtle treated that season.
Nothing is mailed so nothing can get lost or delayed. Your receipt reaches your email the moment you give.
Within 72 hours your account names the town or city where your gift worked and the job it funded.
It is a single gift unless you choose a monthly donation yourself. Nothing renews without your say.
Licensed specialists mark the nests. Our team stays clear of them and covers the marking materials.
Thank you. Gifts are accepted only at quenarafoundation.com and in the Quenara app.
We are always glad to help. Write to us from the contact page on our site or from support in the app.
