PFA has
hospitals in Delhi Gurgaon, Gwalior,. Chandigarh, Lucknow, Chennai, Guwahati,
Bangalore, Agra, Firozabad, Goa and Kolkata. We add 3 to 5 hospitals every year.
PFA runs over 60 ambulances around India.
Our hospitals
are designed as 24 hour all-animal multi-purpose veterinary centres to provide:
* Regular modern
veterinary aid for owned animals.
*
Emergency care for sick, wounded and rescued animals.
*
Surgical facilities to conduct sterilization programmes for street animals.
*
A 24 hour helpline and ambulance service to respond to animal-related
emergencies.
*
Kennels for vacationing pet-owners.
*
A permanent refuge for unwanted animals.
On an average,
PFA hospitals treat or home over 50,000 animals a year.
As long as
there is garbage on the streets, stray animals will multiply or move in to fill
that biological niche. PFA went to court against the useless municipal killing
of street dogs and has been successful in putting into place an effective
sterilization programme all across India. Street dogs are caught, operated,
tagged and inoculated before being returned to their original areas to live out
their natural lives healthily and harmlessly. PFA is conducting the ABC
programme in all the major metros.
Today, the ABC
programme is official government policy.
PFA runs
India's only monkey shelter which has taken in almost 100 monkeys rescued from
research laboratories all over the country. Hanuman Vatika provides specialized
care and nurturing for these traumatized and often deformed animals.
A
full-time
vet, consulting nutritionist and shelter attendants provide nutritious food,
physiotherapy and, above all, kindness to heal their bruised bodies and spirit.
Entirely
sponsored by internet leader NOW ISP, Hanuman Vatika is a unique and extremely
successful example of Corporate-NGO partnership.
PFA runs a 24
hour wildlife rescue service SOWL (Save Our Wildlife) that has rescued 2098
animals during 2000-2001 with 78% being successfully returned to their natural
habitat.
Apart from
rescue, PFA performs the equally valuable task of educating people to recognise
trapped wild animals as lost and frightened victims who need help rather than
dangerous aggressors who must be killed.
