Trauma Care Centre for Stray Animals and Birds

Recently, we received a distressing report about a highway accident involving a wild animal. Our team immediately rushed to the scene, hearts pounding with worry, and found a beautiful jackal that had been struck by a two-wheeler. We named him Charlie, our brave little jackal fighting for survival. With heavy hearts but determined spirits, we quickly transported him to our shelter and began treatment.

Charlie arrived in a recumbent state, looking so fragile and vulnerable. The doctors suspected head trauma. They stabilised him with fluids, carefully managing his pain and reducing inflammation. Each passing hour felt like an eternity, but after two days of treatment, he began to show signs of recovery. When Charlie took his first steps again, our hearts swelled with hope and joy. We continued infrared therapy as a part of his treatment and he is showing remarkable progress.

This incident is a stark reminder of the ongoing reduction in forest areas, leading to increased animal-human conflicts. Gujarat alone has witnessed over 91,000 such cases this year. The loss of vegetation is not just an environmental issue; it disrupts the delicate balance of our ecosystem and forces animals like Charlie into dangerous situations.

Charlie’s story is a testament to resilience and the impact of compassion. He deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life. Join us in helping to save Charlie. Your support, no matter how small, will make a world of difference. Together, we can ensure that this precious life is saved and that countless other animals have a fighting chance too.

Harrier ‘Kiko’ recovering from a complete Radius-Ulna Fracture

‘Kiko’ is a Marsh Harrier, a bird of prey with long wings and a long narrow tail. We received the  bird at Jivdaya with a complete radius-ulna fracture in the left wing. Kiko was in tremendous pain and under shock. After taking an x-ray our vet immediately decided to perform a surgery under general anaesthesia. Our surgeon fixed Kiko’s wing with intramedullary pinning. JCT team started taking excellent post-surgery care through regular bandaging, painkiller & anti-biotic medication and most importantly Physiotherapy. With all the medication and care Kiko is recovering rapidly. We are hoping within a few weeks the bird will again spread its wings and touch the sky.

Nothing can be more comforting for us than seeing a bird regaining its strength from a severe injury and going back to wild.
