About Me:

I have been co-running and coordinating a community-run informal organization for feeding/neutering, vaccinating/rescuing, and rehabilitating stray animals (dogs/cats/livestock and birds) in Kolkata since 2010. I am currently residing elsewhere and running a rescue/rehabilitation center with my own and donated findings. Currently, I am able to cater to 15 small animals and seeking to expand.
