#Ashayam4pets

---

In a country where approximately 80 million stray animals roam the streets, many face daily struggles for food, shelter, and medical care. Reports suggest that only a fraction of these animals receive the help they need, with shelters and organizations overwhelmed by the sheer number of cases. It is estimated that 70% of stray dogs and cats in India suffer from malnutrition, and many endure abuse, accidents, and abandonment. To address this critical issue, Ashayam Foundation’s 'Ashayam4Pets' initiative was launched with a mission to provide care, compassion, and a voice to the voiceless.

Ashayam4Pets is a dedicated program that aims to improve the lives of stray and abandoned animals. From feeding drives to medical aid and adoption awareness, the initiative reflects our commitment to creating a world where every animal is treated with kindness and dignity.

What Does Ashayam4Pets Do?

Ashayam4Pets focuses on holistic support for stray animals, ensuring their basic needs are met and promoting a harmonious coexistence between humans and animals.

Key Activities:

• Feeding Drives: Volunteers conduct regular feeding drives in urban and rural areas, providing nutritious food and clean water to stray animals.
• Medical Camps: The initiative organizes vaccination and sterilization camps to address health issues and control the stray population humanely.
• Adoption Awareness: Ashayam4Pets actively encourages people to adopt stray animals instead of buying pets, spreading the message that love knows no breed.
• Emergency Rescues: Our team works around the clock to rescue animals injured in accidents or abandoned by their owners.

Facts About Stray Animals in India

• Stray Dogs: India has an estimated 35 million stray dogs, many of whom suffer from diseases like rabies, which accounts for 36% of the world’s rabies deaths.
• Stray Cats: The population of stray cats is growing, with most of them struggling to find food and safe spaces in urban areas.
• Abandonment Issues: Due to lack of awareness, nearly 60% of pets are abandoned within the first year of adoption in India, contributing to the stray animal crisis.
• Sterilization Gap: Only 10% of stray animals undergo sterilization, leading to unchecked population growth and further challenges for their survival.

Recent Highlights of Ashayam4Pets

In our latest feeding drive, conducted across multiple units in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, over 200 stray animals were fed in a single day. Volunteers brought together local communities, creating awareness about the plight of stray animals and the importance of showing compassion.

Additionally, Ashayam4Pets organized a free vaccination camp, where 80+ animals received rabies vaccinations and general health check-ups. These camps not only protect stray animals but also contribute to public safety by reducing the risk of zoonotic diseases.

Building a Compassionate Future

Ashayam4Pets is not just about addressing the immediate needs of stray animals; it’s about fostering a culture of empathy and responsibility toward animals. We educate communities about the benefits of sterilization, the importance of reporting animal abuse, and the joy of adopting strays.

Our work aims to ensure that every animal, regardless of its circumstances, has access to food, healthcare, and a loving environment. By creating partnerships with veterinarians, shelters, and compassionate individuals, we are building a network of care that empowers communities to take charge of animal welfare.
