How does seal sponsorship work?
Seal sponsorship through Charity Shop supports stranded seal pups at WARN partner coastal rescues. £60 a month funds rehabilitation pool care, feeding and weigh-ins as a pup grows to release weight — with a personalised e-certificate, giftable in someone's name.
Who should skip this: Skip this if you wanted to rehome a seal in the UK, needed Gift Aid, or expected a posted toy pack. Sponsorship funds named monthly care; nobody takes the animal home. You can cancel through WARN.
Do I own or adopt this seal?
No. A monthly sponsorship here is costed care, not a pet and not a symbolic wild-animal adoption pack. Compare the models in sponsor vs adopt and symbolic vs costed.

Seal sponsorship questions
What does a seal pup sponsorship include?
Pool care, feeding and weigh-ins for one pup heading back to sea — £60 a month. Rehabilitation typically takes two to four months; a week of fish (£15) can be given one-off.
Will my sponsored seal be released?
That is the whole point: pups are admitted underweight and dehydrated, fed up in rehab pools, and released back to the sea at full weight.
