If you have found an animal
Found an injured or distressed animal?
Call the hospital first. Our team will tell you how to move the animal safely, or send a mobile treatment van.

1
Call before you move it
A wrong lift can worsen a fracture or spinal injury.
2
Contain and keep it dark
A ventilated carton in a quiet, shaded place lowers panic.
3
Note where you found it
Street animals and birds go back to their own territory once treated.
4
Bring it in, or ask for the van
Walk in at the OPD, or we dispatch a van for non-hospitalisation cases.

Our projects
What we do
Every programme runs from one campus — treatment, rehabilitation, population control and public education.
Multi-speciality care for pawsomes
Two operation theatres, an outpatient department, physiotherapy, pathology and pharmacy. Central oxygen, ventilators, multipara monitors, gas anaesthesia and X-ray — the equipment of a hospital, applied to animals nobody owns.
Inside the hospital
Everything the animals need, on one campus
Animals arrive with fractures, burns, road trauma, poisoning and disease. The campus is laid out so each one goes to the right place.
