Caithness Seal Rehab & Release is the only seal rehabilitation centre in Caithness & Sutherland. We cover a vast area along the whole of the east coast down as far as Tain. We cover the whole of the north coast as far along as Durness, and then down the west coast as far as Ullapool. We also receive pups from the Isle of Skye and the Isle of Lewis. We work together with BDMLR and the SSPCA. Members of the public come across a seal pup on the beach, they contact us direct or BDMLR or the SSPCA. One of our volunteers will go out and assess/examine the pup to see if it needs to come into our care. Caithness Seal Rehab & Release, the hospital, officially opened its doors on the 1st November 2022. Since opening the hospital doors, we have admitted 80 seal pups, both grey and common seal pups. In addition to this we have monitored and relocated seal pups if necessary. The number of pups is increasing every year mostly down to human disturbance, though bad weather does play its part.
