Give a portion of fish
These seals are currently being cared for at the Sealcentre. You can support them by donating a portion of fish. Did you know that a seal eats an average of 5 kilos of fish a day? With your donation, the seals can regain strength to return to the Wadden Sea.
Due to busy times on the website, the payment form occasionally does not work. Would you still like to donate a portion of fish? You can do so via this link. One portion of fish costs 5 euros.

Bambi
Date rehabilitation: 20-06-2024
Location: Ameland
Rehabilitated because: Orphaned
Seal pup Bambi was found without a mother on the beach of Ameland. When he was still alone after 24 hours and seemed weakened, he was brought to our centre. The vets think he was between seven and 10 days old at the time. After a week at the centre, he was already allowed to swim all day. As he is growing well and getting stronger, he has been moved to phase 3. Just a little longer and he will be allowed to go back to the sea. Will you help him with this?

Juan
Date rehabilitation: 27-06-2024
Location: Vlieland
Rehabilitated because: Orphaned
On 27 June, puppy Juan was found on Vlieland. His mother had not been with him for a long time and he was skinny. As he would not survive without his mother, he was taken to Pieterburen. His umbilical stalk had just fallen off. Based on that, we could estimate that he was seven to 10 days old at the time. Juan has been professionally adopted by Processionals. Donate a portion of fish to make Juan strong enough to return to the sea.

Balloon
Date rehabilitation: 18-06-2024
Location: Vlieland
Rehabilitated because: Orphaned & entangled
Ontmoet Balloon. Het is niet voor niets dat ze deze naam heeft gekregen. De pup werd namelijk gevonden op het strand verstrikt in het koord van een wensballon. Ze was slechts enkele dagen oud en zonder moeder. Balloon is al de vijftigste zeehond dit jaar die verstrikt is geraakt. Balloon zou 22 augustus worden vrijgelaten maar heeft helaas het herpes virus. Daarom is besloten haar eerst in het centrum te laten aansterken, voordat ze weer naar de Waddenzee terugkeert.
