This elderly girl came to us with a painful tumour on her front leg, making every step a struggle. After careful evaluation, our team performed surgery to remove the growth, giving her a pain-free life and restoring her mobility. She recovered well under our care, regaining her strength and comfort with every passing day.

Now fully healed, she has been happily discharged and is back on her feet, walking freely and enjoying her renewed freedom. Moments like these remind us why timely intervention and compassionate care can truly transform a life.

189 days. That’s how long Dino has been waiting, a mere 11 days shy of 200. Nearly seven long months of watching his buddies come and go, each one finding a warm bed and a family to call their own, while he’s left behind in the quiet of the shelter.

What breaks our hearts is that Dino is everything a family could hope for. He’s gentle, affectionate, and endlessly playful. His absolute favourite thing in the world is to play fetch, the moment he sees a ball, his eyes light up and he’s off in a happy blur, racing back every time with that hopeful look that says, “Again?” After the game, he melts into calm cuddles, resting his big head against you as if he’s known you forever.

He has waited with patience and trust, believing that someone out there will see past his size and fall in love with the sweet, devoted soul he truly is. Dino shouldn’t have to spend a single day more wondering if that person will ever come.

If you can open your heart and home, please come meet Dino. And if adoption isn’t possible for you, you can still change his story by sharing this post so it reaches the person who’s meant to be his family. Let’s not let day 200 arrive without his forever home.

Throwback - An adult male Jungle Cat ( Felix Chaus ) was rescued by the Tamil Nadu Forest department’s HQ range. The jungle cat had suffered from a RTA and was completely dehydrated and recumbent when it was brought to us by the HQ team. Initial investigation revealed the Cat had an injury to its spine and elevated creatine levels. The animal was stabilised first and slowly Physio therapy was provided to get the functions back in his hind legs. To our surprise the Jungle Cat almost made full recovery. On his right hind leg he still didn’t regain 100 percent function and Mobility due to some muscle wasting but all his other activities were normal including hunting and even climbing trees. Thanks to the Tamil Nadu Forest Department, efforts were made to re-wild him. A soft release enclosure was made ready at Guindy National Park were he was released and observed for 5-6 weeks by the Forest department and their team of vets. A specially made radio collar was designed for him and he was released into the national park. His movements were tracked for over 8 weeks and it was concluded that he was surviving and adapting pretty well in his new environment. Generally such animals are either sent to the zoo or kept in captivity for life . We would like to thank ACS Mam , HOFF Srinivas Reddy sir , PCCF and CWLW sir, wildlife warden Chennai and Dr. .sri_wildvet for their guidance and ensuring the jungle cat goes back into the wild.

This weekend, our Cat Neutering Marathon went wonderfully well, and we couldn’t be more grateful! 🐾

Over two dedicated days, our team worked tirelessly to sterilise as many as 85 male cats, each one a step closer to a healthier, kinder future for our community animals.

Even the rainy weather on Day 1 couldn’t stop us, our team kept going strong, and the incredible community caretakers still showed up with their cats, proving just how much this mission means to all of us.

Every patient was carefully transported between our OP and OT, thanks to the crates kindly lent by , ensuring their safety and comfort throughout the process.

We were joined by & , who stood by us and strengthened our efforts in making this initiative possible. But the true heart of this marathon lies with the incredible community caretakers, who trusted us with their cats and continue to play such a crucial role in humanely managing stray populations.

Together, we are not just preventing uncontrolled breeding, but also reducing suffering and giving these cats a chance at healthier lives. 💙

⚠️ Important: Our OP services will remain closed due to the Cat Neutering Marathon. Regular services will resume from 15/09/2025 (Monday).

We’re gearing up for a two-day Cat Neutering Marathon at BMAD 🐱✨

With more than 160 cats registered, it’s important that everyone follows a few etiquettes so the process remains smooth, safe, and stress-free for all.

🔹 Arrival – Please come only at your allotted time. Early or late arrivals create crowding and delays, so sticking to the schedule is key.

🔹 Registered Cats Only – Only pre-registered cats will be accepted for surgery. No unregistered entries will be allowed.

🔹 Pre-op Fasting – Remember: no food or water for 8 hours before surgery. Feeding can lead to serious complications under anaesthesia, so this is non-negotiable.

🔹 Recovery Time – Post-surgery recovery takes a few hours. Caretakers must remain at the venue until their cats are discharged. Please carry your own water bottles and snacks to make the wait more comfortable.

🔹 Constant Supervision – At no point should cats be left unsupervised. They’ll need your attention throughout the day, especially during recovery.

🔹 Medical Fitness – Every cat will be examined prior to surgery. BMAD reserves the right to refuse surgery if a cat is found unfit, purely in the best interest of the animal’s health.

With your cooperation, this Cat Marathon will run smoothly and bring us closer to a safer future for our community cats. Together, let’s make this initiative a success 🐾💛
