About the Programme
What is Project CARE+?

Project CARE+ focuses on providing safe shelter and basic care for stray animals who are weak or recovering, at risk on streets, abandoned or displaced, or in need of temporary protection.

This is not a hospital

This is a safe, monitored shelter environment

The Need
Why Shelter Support is Critical

Life on the streets is unpredictable. A safe shelter provides stability, protection, recovery support, and a chance to regain strength away from:

  • Traffic injuries risk
  • Harsh weather conditions
  • Irregular food access
  • Territorial conflicts
  • Stress and fear
Eligibility
When Do Animals Need Shelter Care?

We support animals in vulnerable situations such as:

  • Weak or aging animals
  • Post-recovery (after CARE program)
  • Abandoned or lost animals
  • Animals during extreme weather
  • Community conflict or relocation risk
Our Facilities
🏥 What We Provide

Focus: Protection, comfort, and stability — every animal under our care receives:

Safe shelter space
Regular feeding & nutrition
Clean & hygienic environment
Daily monitoring
Emotional & behavioral stability
Process
How It Works

A clear pathway from request to recovery — designed for safety and dignity at every step.

1
Request / Referral

Animal identified by rescuer or community. Shelter request submitted via our helpline or WhatsApp.

2
Intake & Assessment

Basic condition check on arrival. Shelter suitability evaluated and intake profile created in the SAVE system.

3
Shelter Care

Animal provided safe space with daily care, nutrition, monitoring, and a calm, low-stress environment.

4
Transition Planning

Return to community OR move to CARE / SAFE-ABC / adoption pathways based on what's best for the animal.

Community Impact
Why This Matters for Communities

Safe animals = safer communities. Shelter support transforms outcomes for everyone.

Without Support

  • Animals become vulnerable
  • Conflicts increase
  • Survival becomes difficult
  • Disease & population issues spread

With CARE+

  • ✔ Animals are protected
  • ✔ Reduced street stress & conflict
  • ✔ Better managed animal population
  • ✔ Healthier community environment
