The Team is available on call 24x7, all throughout the year, using varied means to rescue animals depending on the species. To report a rescue, individuals can contact the organisation via phone or email, providing details of the situation and location.

  • PFA Wildlife Hospital - Care Programme

    Its wildlife hospital is manned by trained veterinarians, nursing staff and welfare officers, and is supported by amenities like an ICU, X-ray facility, surgery unit and quarantine unit. The team relies on rescuer reports, professional judgment, and experience to determine the cause of injuries and provide appropriate treatment. It has performed various procedures, including surgeries, to treat wounds, abscesses, burns, and fractures in animals such as turtles, macaques, terrapins, and monitor lizards. Animals are examined, and those displaced or orphaned receive nutrition and care to restore their well-being. The hospital also conducts post-mortem assessments to understand the cause of death and improve its practices as a centre of excellence.

  • Rehabilitation ad Release Programme

    PFA has rehabilitation centres, designed to re-integrate displaced animals into their original habitats. Veterinarians, animal ethologists, and caregivers work together to successfully rehabilitate the animal. Rehabilitation strategies vary based on species and condition, with key aspects including minimizing human interaction, providing a diet similar to their natural food sources, enhancing hunting instincts, and creating enclosures that simulate natural conditions. The centre has specialized enclosures for different species, including aviaries, reptile enclosures, primate treatment areas, and curated habitats for small mammals. 3 in 4 animals rescued are released. Release locations are selected depending on habitat type, population density, environment and unnatural threats.
