Postman Rescues Baby Seal Found Outside Front Door
Cold Call, one of 32 displaced grey seal pups rescued after storms, is in RSPCA care needing months of rehabilitation to triple her weight before release.
- A postman in Gorleston-on-Sea found the seal pup 'Cold Call' on a doorstep, and Marine and Wildlife Rescue transferred her to RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre for care.
- Rescue groups say rising tides and a birth surge have driven rescue callers and local wardens as some pups were swept from mothers or injured after being washed against rocks.
- The pup was only a week to two weeks old when found, weighing 11.8kg , underweight, moulting, and needing months of rehabilitation at RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre.
- The RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre cares for 32 grey seal pups, and Cold Call and others may need at least five months of care, supported by People's Postcode Lottery.
- If you find a lone pup, rescue groups advise reporting it to local wardens or specialist seal rescue organisations and warn never to attempt personal rescues.
