What To Do If You See An Injured Animal
Follow these steps while the team is on the way.
- Stay calm. Approach slowly. Avoid sudden movements that might frighten them.
- Assess the situation. From a safe distance, check if the animal is conscious, breathing, and how severe injuries appear.
- Secure the area. On roads, try to slow traffic; use hazard markers if you have them.
- Contact us immediately. Call or WhatsApp +91 9315982650 with location and photos.
- Do not move (unless critical). Unless the animal is in immediate danger, wait for trained staff; moving them incorrectly can worsen injuries.
- Provide water if conscious. Use a shallow container. Do not force feed.
