We were the family that found Tight Spot in Oyster Bay on Mayne Island, he was so fragile. We called the rescue and as fast as they could they came to rescue him. We are so happy he was stable enough to make it to the rescue here on the mainland. Thank you for all you do. If you need a picture of him from before he is my screen saver we were rooting for him.
Calyyb is my grandson and I’m so proud of him and his big brother Chase and his mom Carrie who rescued Tight Spot. And I’m very happy that he seems to be on his way to become a healthy adult Harbour Seal.
We are so excited that Tight spot is doing good! Keep it up little guy!
This amazing story is so inspiring to all who love nature. I am Calyyb’s Gramma C. I am so proud of his actions as a rescuer. So happy to see Tight Spot doing so well
