What we do
From Streets to Safety: Healing the Lives of Stray Cats and Dogs
In a city where thousands of stray animals struggle daily for survival, Takshak Animal Welfare Foundation fills a crucial gap by offering structured, timely, and expert-driven care. Our primary focus lies in the treatment and rehabilitation of stray cats and dogs, many of whom suffer from life-threatening injuries, infectious diseases, or abandonment.
Unlike ad-hoc rescues, Takshak provides a comprehensive response: from on-ground rescue to expert diagnosis by veterinary professionals, from quarantine and hospitalization to recovery and eventual adoption or release. Operating 24×7, our team ensures that no case is left unattended, no matter the hour or the challenge.
