Seal Rescue Wish List
URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED Grey Seal pupping season has begun, starting the busiest rescue period. Last autumn/winter brought a record 150 seals—70% of the yearly total. With intake rising annually and Met Éireann warning of El Niño causing more severe weather this autumn and winter, preparing for a high influx of pups is critical. We urgently need support in the following areas:
Help us prepare for the busy season ahead
Protective Gear Needed for Animal Care
Pups who are injured or orphaned are often scared and can be defensive. They are not used to be handled or checked over, and this can cause accidental injuries to our carers. Help our animal care team stay protected from seal bites, scratches, and other accidents.Newly born seal pups cannot regulate their temperature and need heat lamps and. pads to keep them warm until they have built up enough blubber to stay warm and regulate their temperature. Our rescues power costs are 48 per day !

Feed Our Pups – Supply Fish Stock
Our seal pups need to gain blubber to help them survive in the wild. They are fed fish 4 times a day and can eat between 6-10 kilos a day depending on their age and size! Help us to stock up on fish for the upcoming Grey Seal Pupping Season!
