Cape Town – The Hout Bay Seal Rescue Centre says they are at their wits’ end, with fears they may be potentially evicted after the Department of Public Works (DPW) “indicated” they will be putting up the centre for tender.
The centre rehabilitates and releases stranded, injured or distressed Cape fur seal pups which have been rescued by volunteers.
Its administration and fund-raising director, Kim Krynauw, said they had a long-standing agreement with the Oceana Group to use part of the lots; however, in February, Oceana said it was cancelling its lease as it was letting go of some of the lots.
