With only a matter of weeks before Temperance the seal pup being released we are in desperate need of fresh fish to fatten him up.
His ideal fish is mackerel or herring and it has to be human quality for his health.
Temperance is eating 20-30 fish a day and we are currently struggling to find suppliers with enough in stock.
If you haven't got any fish you can still help by donating to - www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jerseyandguernseysealpups
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.
We are pleased to announce that Temperance the seal pup who was rescued at the start of November last year has more than doubled his weight.
The thinnest ever seal pup we have rescued here in Guernsey at only 11kg is now up to 28.2kg.
Head carer of Temperance GSPCA Animal Collection Officer and Marine Mammal Carer at the GSPCA Geoff George is pleased to report the huge gain in weight and improvements in health.
It is even more special as we enter the last two days of GSPCA Purple Week celebrating 145 years of helping animals in Guernsey.
For the last 8 weeks the GSPCA have been caring for Sami the grey seal pup who was rescued sick and extremely thin at the end of December in Jersey.
We are pleased to report that Sami is growing stronger each day and eating fish extremely well.
Sami is still a long way off being ready to be released back to the wild and we are appealing for your support to help feed Sami.
Geoff George GSPCA Animal Collection Officer and head carer of marine mammals said "We are so pleased how Sami is doing and especially how well Sami is eating."
The team at GSPCA although are pleased to report that Sami the grey seal pup continues to improve we sadly lost Johnathan earlier this week.
Both seal pups were rescued and transported to Guernsey by the wonderful volunteers in Jersey from the British Divers Marine Life Rescue with the very kind help from those at Blue Islands and both airport staff.
We are pleased to report that both Sami and Jonathan the grey seal pups continue to improve at the GSPCA.

On Saturday the first seal pup of 2017 was rescued and brought to the GSPCA from Jersey.
Jonathon as the young animal has been called is needing 24/7 around the clock intensive care due to his thin and very ill health.
Full of worms and with a number of injuries the vets and team at the GSPCA are providing this very poorly seal with all he needs to help ensure he survives at this very delicate time.
Sami who was rescued just after Christmas in Jersey is improving daily although months away from being well enough to be released back into the wild.
Yesterday the first Channel Island grey seal pup was rescued of 2017.
Found at Petit Pot in Jersey the young seal pup at only 18kgs so extremely thin with a number of injuries was rescued by the British Diver Marine Life Rescue volunteers and cared for overnight at New Era Vets in Jersey.
This morning the young seal pup was transported with BDMLR Marine Mammal Medic Caroline Stockhill to Guernsey and is now at the GSPCA Wildlife Rehabilitation unit in the seal intensive care room and is next to Sami the seal pup who was rescued in Jersey just after Christmas.
We are pleased to announce that Sami the seal pup rescued in jersey between Christmas and New Years has started eating fish all on her own.
She is extremely thin so it will take months before she is strong enough to release to the wild and it would be wonderful if you could help donate to her care to help towards the fish she will need as well as help the hundreds of other animals in our care.
We will of course keep you up to date with her progress.
