We are overjoyed to report that Temperance is doing exceptionally well and potentially after another few weeks of care will be returned back to the wild.
The injured and very poorly grey seal pup was rescued at Beaucette Marina last November has approximately tripled his weight and has turned into the fastest swimming seal we have ever had so is now in the last stage of his rehabilitation.
Temperance was the thinnest grey seal pup to be rescued by the GSPCA and it has been a long road in his care to get him fit enough to get him to where he is today.
Now eating over 20 fish a day you can help us help feed his by donating online www.paypal.me/DonateGSPCA calling us on 257261 or popping into the Shelter in St Andrews.
Geoff George Animal Collection Officer and main carer for the seals at the GSPCA said “Temperance is without doubt the fastest seal pup we have ever had.”
“He is doing so well in our pools at the GSPCA and in a few weeks we will be returning him to the wild all being well.”
“He was so weak when we first rescued him and to see him now you wouldn’t think it was the same seal.”
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We really can’t believe how quick Temperance the seal pup is.”
“From just 11kg last November to the healthy and nearly fat enough animal to be released really warms the heart of all the team at the GSPCA.”.”
“Temperance is eating extremely well and we are guessing has tripled his weight from his size so will soon be ready for his release to the wild.”
“It is costing over £5 per meal as she is eating so much fish and we’d like to thank all those that have donated to his care and to anyone that can help us help him it is hugely appreciated.”
“Although we are past the seal pup season we are now in Spring, so very busy with baby wildlife found abandoned like Harry the hoglet found this morning.”
