BRAVE SEAL PUP RETURNS TO THE WILD AFTER SUPPORTER HELP
Monday 7th April 2025
A very special grey seal pup, Leaf Cutter, is making a triumphant return to the wild after receiving life-saving care at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, thanks to the generosity of supporters who funded her critical operation.
Leaf Cutter was rescued earlier this year after being found severely malnourished and suffering from a serious injury that required intricate veterinary attention. The dedicated team at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary provided round-the-clock care, and with the incredible support of the public, funds were raised to cover the costs of her vital flipper surgery.

Puffins typically spend the colder months far out at sea, meaning their winter beaks are almost never seen by the public. However, thanks to the sanctuary´s rescued puffins, who call Puffin Island home, visitors can witness this fascinating seasonal transformation up close.

The Cornish Seal Sanctuary has launched an urgent fundraising appeal asking its supporters to help a little seal pup named "Leaf Cutter".
