Care for a Street Animal in India

Help a rescued cat, dog, monkey, or cow recover from life on the streets of India.

Despite some of the strictest animal welfare laws in the world, thanks to its ancient spiritual philosophy of ahimsa (non-harming), India teems with abandoned, neglected, and abused animals. Baby monkeys are taken from their mothers to be trained as street performers, then abandoned; cows and water buffalo are used for milk and labor, but turned loose or sent to slaughter once their useful life has passed. And the population of dogs and cats loose on the streets leads to the spread of animal diseases, such as rabies, which is endemic to India, and sometimes even to attacks on humans. Illegal pet shops, inhumane methods of transporting livestock, and illegal religious sacrifice of millions of animals all exist in India today.
