Adopt a seal

In our specialised seal hospital, we work daily to rehabilitate weakened seals so that they can safely return to the Wadden Sea. Right now, several animals could really use your support. Together, we can make a difference for these precious animals!

What is a symbolic adoption?

With a one-time donation of €50, you support the seal of your choice and contribute directly to his or her recovery. As a thank you, you will receive:

  • A personalized adoption certificate
  • After the release you will receive an email with photos and a video
  • Also available as a gift

Would you prefer to adopt exclusively so you can give a name to the seal and go along with its release? Read more.

Available seals

Tatsumi

Date rehabilitation: 10-01-2025
Location: Vlieland
Tatsumi was only a week old when he was found alone on Vlieland. After a 24-hour observation period, he was brought to the Sealcentre on January 10. He had lost weight in those 24 hours. This is a sign that no mother had been around to feed him. Unfortunately, Tatsumi was too young to survive without his mother. Will you help Tatsumi grow big and strong so he can return to the Wadden Sea?

Croissant

Date rehabilitation: 04-02-2025
Location: Groningen
This is Croissant! Croissant was found near Eemshaven in Groningen. When he was still lying there three days later and his condition had worsened, we decided to take him in. Once in Pieterburen, it turned out that he not only had a lungworm infection, but also a serious infection in a toe. To prevent the infection from spreading, we had to amputate the toe. Croissant is now recovering from the surgery. Will you contribute to Croissant's recovery?
