Adopt-a-Puffin

Cabot is the newest puffin available for adoption! If you would like to sponsor Cabot and support ongoing research on puffin travels, please write "Cabot" on your adoption form. Read more about Cabot's remarkable travels in the NY Times.

It is easy to adopt a puffin!

Adopt one or more of Project Puffin's Atlantic Puffins, some of which our staff have studied for 35 years or more! With each $100 (tax-deductible) adoption, you will receive the following items: 

• Certificate of Adoption: A colorful certificate displaying your name. 
• Biography: Includes detailed information gathered by our researchers about an individual puffin from the time it hatched to the present; a summary of the puffin's most recent behavior, nesting, and other activities; and a current color photo. 
• Project Puffin book: The option of receiving the book: Project Puffin: How We Brought Puffins Back to Egg Rock by Stephen Kress.

We will send you a renewal letter when it is time to renew your adoption.
