Often during the winter months with the high winds and stormy weather makes it difficult for wild animals and birds to feed and rest.
After the stormy weather the GSPCA are asking those that live around and visit our coast to please watch out for injured animals in need as well as seal pups which can get separated from their mothers at this time of year especially when we see bad weather.
We have a number of web pages with wildlife advice or you can call 01481 257261 for help 24/7

This morning we had another call and thanfully Geoff managed to contain the grey seal pup who is now back in intensive care at the GSPCA, separate to the other 6 seals in our care.

This morning the GSPCA were called out to attend what was reported to be a poorly seal pup at Perelle.
The team were dispatched to find an approximately 12 week old grey seal pup.
Only a little under weight the main concerns was it being lethargic and very chesty.
The pup was collected by Head of Marine Mammals GSPCA Geoff George and is now safely at the GSPCA.

We are pleased to say that Andrew the Jersey grey seal pup rescued over a year ago is nearly ready for the wild but we have one last step to go.
We are hoping when Pebbles the seal pup is ready to introduce them both so they can be released together.
Sadly due to the Coronavirus restrictions it is highly unlikely that we will be able to take a boat to Jersey to release Andrew where he was from with the social distancing rules in both islands.

On the 13th February the GSPCA team were called out to a very poorly seal pup we named Pebbles and we have some great news as she is doing extremely well.
We were all so worried for her when she first arrived and she required around the clock intensive care, but each day she has improved and this week she got her first taste of the outdoors since arriving.
At only 2-3 months of age she is now eating fish well and we are all so pleased with her progress.

147 years ago yesterday there was no such thing as the GSPCA to help animals in Guernsey as today on Valentine's Day we celebrate our anniversary.
Yesterday around 430pm the GSPCA were called out to the Shingle Bank on the West Coast of Guernsey to what they found was a very poorly, thin , dehydrated and chesty grey seal pup.

Earlier today our Animal Collection Officer and GSPCA Head of Marine Mammals Geoff George was rescued a 2-3 day old Grey seal Pup from Grandes Rocques.
The very emaciated and poorly pup was nearly a quarter of the weight he should be for his age with no mother in sight.
At only 12kgs if the pup hadn’t been rescued it would have surely perished on our West Coast.
‘Crash’ as the young pup has been named is now receiving around the clock intensive care as it will need fluids and rehydration every 2 hours 24/7 to stablise it.
