“They helped save many precious lives”

“The Cattitude Trust of Chennai, India is honoured to be associated with Help Animals India which goes out of its way to use donated funds to purchase life saving formulas and feeding bottles (which are simply not available in India) for our rescued orphaned kittens – this has saved dozens of precious lives (in the old days it was syringe and diluted milk). Today we donate a life saving pack to many people willing to foster rescued infants. Then there are the wonderful refinements and treats for our cat homes – cat nip, cat toys, medication – and always so much advice and assistance and support. Thank you Help Animals India for opening up so many opportunities to benefit our darling kitties!”

— Devika Khazvini, Managing Trustee,The Cattitude Trust

We’re an All-Volunteer non-profit Charity

Help Animals India (HAI) is an all-volunteer USA non-profit 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to supporting efficient and effective animal protection organizations in India.

We strive to put our donors’ contributions to work where they are most needed and can do the most good.

The Challenge for India’s Animals

Despite some of the best animal protection laws in the world and a renowned heritage of reverence for life, modern India is a country where millions of animals suffer severe neglect or abuse.

Overpopulation, poverty, pollution, superstition, apathy and ignorance all contribute to their plight. In a country where human misery and impoverishment remain high, the welfare of destitute animals is a low priority.

Help Animals India’s Contribution

India’s animals have strong indigenous allies. The nation is blessed with many dedicated animal welfare organizations.

Help Animals India seeks out the best of these under funded organizations to provide financial and practical assistance where it can make the most difference.

HAI strives not only to achieve immediate benefits for India’s animals, but to nurture an enduring culture of animal protectionism.

Our goal is for all animals to live the lives they would choose for themselves.

HOPE and Animal Trust ambulance

Help Animals India donated this vehicle for HOPE and Animal Trust — its first one to help the animals. It is multipurpose: education and awareness activities, ABC (animal birth control) camps in rural areas, treatments and vaccinations. The posters to the sides of the logo show in Hindi and in pictures (for those who are illiterate) the proper way to relate to the street/community dogs – many people in India are afraid of them and don’t know how to interact with them.

Help Animals India currently distributes grants to the following hard-working groups:
