The suffering of stray cats
Cats living on the streets grapple with many challenges on the streets, including the constant threat of road accidents, starvation and illness. The harsh reality is that the plight of street cats is often overlooked simply because they are strays and the suffering of these cats goes unnoticed. But there are dedicated NGOs such as People for Animals Uttarakhand, with the support of the India Animal Foundation, that are working tirelessly to rescue and provide critical medical care to these street cats.
Abuse and cruelty
In addition to the challenges posed by accidents, hunger and sickness, stray cats also endure unimaginable cruelty at the hands of humans. Priyanka Bangari, Managing Director of People for Animals Uttarakhand, sheds light on the horrifying realities faced by these creatures. “People pour acid on street cats. These cats are beaten with sticks and stones, have their legs broken and much worse,” she reveals. Some cats even face serious illnesses, and there are instances where they are forced to survive with blindness. The injured and ill street cats often receive no care or attention from the people around them. To support People for Animals Uttarakhand, you can donate here.
People for Animals Uttarakhand’s life saving intervention
Recognizing the dire need for immediate intervention, NGOs like People for Animals Uttarakhand with the support of India Animal Foundation have stepped up to provide lifesaving trauma care and medical assistance for these helpless cats. Priyanka Bangari emphasizes that there are cats with medical conditions preventing them from being sent for adoption and they require lifelong care at People for Animals Uttarakhand’s facility. The NGO’s rescue helpline operates round the clock, responding to distress calls daily about street cats in need. The dedicated People for Animals Uttarakhand team swiftly brings the rescued cats to their care facility, where the sick and injured receive the necessary attention and are nursed back to health. The shelter home currently houses over 80 stray cats, providing a safe haven for those who can no longer survive on their own due to severe injuries.
Critical need for support
Despite their best efforts, NGOs such s People for Animals Uttarakhand with the support of India Animal Foundation are dependent on public support and struggle to bear the escalating costs of critical medicines and care needed to save sick and injured street cats. Priyanka underscores the urgent need for financial assistance, stating, “The number of street cats we save and shelter continues to rise. Without the support we desperately need, these cats too will be left without anyone to care for them.” The funds raised through the fundraiser on Give.do will be instrumental in providing essential medical care, animal care items, and food to rehabilitate the sick and injured.
Utilization of funds
The funds raised in the campaign by People for Animals Uttarakhand and India Animal Foundation will not only support immediate medical care but also contribute to broader initiatives aimed at preventing the suffering of stray animals. Some key areas of focus include setting up animal helplines, conducting compassion-based education in schools and activating Prevention of Cruelty to Animals chapters.
People for Animals Uttarakhand plans to create helplines for the public to report distressed animals via calls and texts. This initiative will facilitate a more effective and timely response to rescue and care for animals in need. The fundraiser also aims to provide education to 8-12-year-olds in schools, fostering long-term societal empathy towards animals. By instilling compassion at a young age, the initiative seeks to create a generation that values and respects all living beings. The funds raised by People for Animals Uttarakhand on Give.do will also be used to activate chapters of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in various districts to improve animal welfare standards and ensure the humane treatment of animals.
