Mother cat and her kitten ! Mother's care felt more in Cat !!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The mother cat jumps to bring the fallen kitten out but little does she know that she cannot come out with her kitten. Both were in the fallen dried out well for 5 days and all kind of contacts including the Fire people did nothing to solve. Our courageous and committed did the best to bring them out. The other kitten along with her fallen kitten and another from out rejoined happily. They are in our shelter for further treatment and care.
A fitting tribute to a Mother's care !

The AWAKE Team is here !

Yes they are here with a three member team to continue upgrading our Shelters and improving the quality of life for the dogs and cats who now resides and also ready for adoptions. One of the foremost priority was to have microchips in all of them for the ID of dogs for many reasons. And this system was recommended to implement when there are more of them in the shelter.
They are here also to train our people to fix the Microchips, how to read and feed in the computer and complete record of the dog.
We are now moving one step at a time aimed at providing a good life .
We thank The AWAKE for making this possible and sponsoring the chips.

Sad to see such cases only on the rise. If we do not accept they leave them in front of the Shelter gate. One can see the helpless pain and is wondering what he has done to be left in this manner after a joy of false of false love and affection. He was just left in front of our shelter gate . He will be transferred to our special place at Kindness Farm Dog Park for such abandoned ones after due observation and treatment if any.

Buffaloes are given special bath. These are buffaloes rescued from illegal transportations and they are all averaging above 16 years . At Shelter 1 we do not have a water body for them to have a natural mud bath but we do from our own tap system. They are given bath during summer compulsorily .As you know all milk owning buffaloes give a bath for more milk yield but at our place this is to bring down the body heat and for them to be healthy during the extreme summer heat. They are given food after the bath and they enjoy the food more after a bath.

Another victim rescued from the entangled twine.
The crow was struggling to wriggle out of the thread that he got stuck in . In the process he got injured by the wing and hence brought to our shelter for treatment unable to fly. really most important that flying kites be banned and alternative sport be chosen during the festival to save the birds.

Summer is in !
------------------
One of the most immediate requirement in our Shelters to beat the summer is to provide a facility for them to cool off. We do have plenty of trees yet a system where they can have a natural cooling off their body.
It is to be noted that the animals are very much susceptible to heat stroke.
We have already replaced the asbestos sheets with RCC roofings and planted vines to cover the top.
Ofcourse there is high competition for one pool but we are planning for more too with more support.

Tommy’s Rescue Story: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tommy is a companion pet sheltered by an animal compassionate. He was abandoned long ago due to his agile temperament over his territory and belonging. He was fortunate for being adopted by a lovable person who empathized over him, understands his behavior and keeps him comfortable. However he recently survived an in-fight with community dogs at his residence with a grievous wound very close to his eye and it has been very difficult for his companion to mitigate the wound. His eye was infested by maggots and further delay would have damaged his eye and other vital organs. She called us for help and immediately we jumped into action. Since he is being taken good care of we thought rather moving him away from his territory, started his on-spot treatment. We have been assisted by his companion through her consoling and heartwarming care. Within a few days he is back normal and fully recovered, happily living his enchanted life.

A forever Home for Abandoned Pedigree Dogs -------------------------------------------------------------- With the Generous help from Network for Animal Protection (NetAP - Network for Animal ProtectionNetAP) we have established this safe haven in order to rescue the abandoned Pedigree Dogs. We come across over five to ten cases of abandonment every day. It is a serious issue which we are striving to mitigate. One of the Strategies is to provide refuge for the abandoned pedigree dogs for which this dog park was constructed in our Kindness Shelter. The shelter would help us in refuging over 30 pedigree dogs on a rotational basis where the eligible ones will be given for adoption with a thorough procedure and follow up and the rest are permanently rehabilitate in our Shelter.

Prison broken into pieces ---------------------------------------------------------------- This week we confronted a couple of fake astrologers with a Parakeet in a tiny cage. We immediately rescued the parakeet and shifted to shelter. Fake Astrologers get Parakeets from the nearby forests where the Parakeet Chicks are Trapped and sold. From breaking their wings to confining them to tiny cages the Parakeets are subjected to horrifying cruelties. All these cruelties are inflicted only to attract masses and make the parakeets perform tricks and fortune play. Parakeets’ only way to come out of the Cages is their death. Then, they simply throw out and bring a new Parakeet to continue their business. It is a serious concern threatening thousands of Parakeets. VSPCA has been working for several years for their protection. We have rescued several hundred Parakeets from the clutches of the Fake Astrologers and educated the citizens of Vizag and discouraged the practice of Parrot Astrology. Now we find very few isolated astrologers roam around and our vigil continues. Help us to save the Parakeets and Re-Wild them in the Forests. For Support, Please visit: www.vspca.org/donate.php
From the Jaws of Death to Green Pastures ----------------------------------------------- Update on the rescued Calves which were brought for Slaughter. The Two Calves have reached safely and reached the place where they actually belong. Under our Adoption Program the calves are given to Foster Care. They are showered with lots of Love and Care. Initial examination is done regarding their health. They are doing good. Plenty of food and motherly affection is all they wanted, and it was Granted.

Timely Rescue of these adorable ones. -------------------------------------------------------- Cattle Slaughter has become so rampant due its lucrative yield. Though judicially enfolded thousands of Cattle are illegally trafficked miles away to their Slaughter destinations without food and water, Crammed and Piled upon one another, it’s a journey of Torture. Human’s greed has unleashed innumerable cruelties to these sentient beings to such an extent that the entire life of Cows and Buffalos is exploited for Milk and once they are Unproductive horrifying cruelties are perpetuated and brutally slaughtered. It’s a never-ending Saga. However, We were able to save these two babies yesterday, These Two calves were brought and left on the road to fend for themselves for a few days, which can later be secretly slaughtered. It's a trick by the Cattle Traffickers to escape the Confiscations. We immediately rescued them and moved to a safer place. Now living a happy life their status will soon be updated. We often encounter such unclaimed calves suffering on roads without food and water which ultimately end up in Slaughterhouses. We are trying to curb such rackets and save these innocent souls. Help us in our efforts to liberate and safeguard the Cattle from Brutal Cruelties. For support, Please visit: www.vspca.org/donate.php
Update Report: Issue: In the Mid October VSPCA has received a grievance from HOPE Welfare Society Mr. Hari and Ms. Sri Devi (Secretary) regarding the mismanagement of their Sanctuary and eventual casualties of the animals. VSPCA has rehabilitated over 50 animals from the disputed organization. Background: This year we have confronted a problematic issue which was brought to us by one of the founders of the HELP OUR ANIMALS AND PLANET EARTH WELFARE SOCIETY (HOPE) that they were not able to manage their sanctuary due to several conflicting issues and wrong practices happening in their premises which is highly condemnable. They have constituted a charitable Society back in the year 2020 with an aim to establish a shelter which offers a refuge for disabled and needy animals. However, they were unaware of the mighty commitment they had to endeavor while bringing the animals into their custody. With an impulsive attitude they started to bring in the animas without establishing proper facilities for them. Though, they initially have started treating the needy animals on spot without rehabilitating into shelter. Gradually, the need of animals for further rehabilitation destined them to establish a sanctuary. It seems they have leased a land and opened a sanctuary over there. Here comes the actual conflict, harsh disagreements, egos and envy, lack of responsible team work and inclusion of personal motives has resulted in brutal casualties of animals while the feeding schedules are altered and not fed properly, proper care was not taken for the special needs animals leading to the rupture of the parts exposed to rough surfaces and eventually catching maggot infestation and death. Some were left exposed to heavy rains leading to hypothermic deaths and no aseptic procedures were followed leading the animals to the contraction of lethal viral diseases. This all has happened due to conflicts caused among the founders leading to the intervention of Police and Animal Husbandry. A
