Our Mission

Our mission is to lessen and eventually eliminate animal suffering in our community. We are committed to rescuing, treating, and rehabilitating these vulnerable animals, giving them a chance at a life free from suffering.

Why do we need to rescue stray animals? Over the decades, the number of stray animals have exponentially increased. With the increased number, the animal abuse and cruelty towards them has also skyrocketed to a crisis point. This is in addition to challenges a stray typically faces such as shelter from scorching heat and debilitating rainfall, access to clean drinking water, food to survive and infection of exposed wounds.

Our Vision

Our vision for the future is a drastic decrease in the stray animal population, where every stray receives the food, care, and love they deserve. We hope to create a world where no animal is left to fend for themselves, and where every animal finds a safe, nurturing environment to thrive in.

By incorporating time-tested Animal Birth Control (ABC) methods that have proven effective globally, we aim to humanely control the stray population, thereby reducing animal suffering, abuse and abandonment.

Our ultimate vision is every animal gets the love and scritches they deserve, regardless of where they live.

Who We Are

Prabitha is a cancer researcher by profession with a deep rooted passion for animals welfare. Vinay is a Software Engineer and animal lover. We are both committed to carving out time in our busy lives for volunteering at shelters and doing hands-on animal rescue work in Boston. Everytime we visit family back home, we feel compelled to do more for animals in the city we both grew up in.

Why Us

We are standing on the shoulders of people that have come before us, globally to combat stray situations in multiple countries. ABC is the most effective way to combat stray population. Having gained experience through our work, both in India and in USA, combined with our passion for animals, we feel that we are best situated to be running this effort.

Why Now

Over the decades, the number of stray animals have exponentially increased. With the increased number, the animal abuse and cruelty towards them has also skyrocketed to a crisis point. This is in addition to challenges a stray typically faces such as shelter from scorching heat and debilitating rainfall, access to clean drinking water, food to survive and infection of exposed wounds.

Rescue Stories

Prabitha saw them while visiting her mom"s house in Chintadripet, Chennai. When she fed them consistently, they both bonded with her. Prabitha adopted these kittens and brought them home with her. They now run the household.

Brownie

Brownie will melt your heart with her sweetness. She had sarcoptic mange, an eye infection and was in pain when we first saw her. She was so friendly that we took her to a vet in an auto. She was so brave even though it was her first time on a leash. Her mange was fully cured and her eye infection got better within a matter of days
