How does seal sponsorship work?
Seal sponsorship through Charity Shop is a monthly gift to WARN’s general fund, inspired by the care of stranded seal pups. £60 a month is the suggested amount, named after rehabilitation pool care, feeding and weigh-ins as a pup grows to release weight — giftable in someone's name with a printable gift card.
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 is a monthly gift to WARN’s general fund, named after a kind of care; nobody takes the animal home. You can cancel through WARN.
Do I own or adopt this seal?
No. A monthly sponsorship here is a gift to WARN’s general fund at a suggested amount, named after a kind of care. It is not a pet and not a wild-animal adoption pack. If it is a present, print a gift card to hand over. Compare the models in sponsor vs adopt and symbolic vs care gifts.

Where your sponsorship goes
Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network, a community interest company with a statutory asset lock — no shareholders, no private gain — which is developing its grant-making: it assesses animal-welfare organisations before agreeing support and publishes grant records as they become available. The about page states the exact legal structure; the amounts on this page are suggested donations, reviewed quarterly (last review 22 October 2026).

Seal sponsorship questions
What does a seal pup sponsorship include?
It is named after pool care, feeding and weigh-ins for one pup heading back to sea — a suggested £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.
