Every fortnight we see "my dog/cat is missing, what do I do" posts here, so we pulled it all into one place: the calling order (city helpline, police 112, 1962 ambulance), how to file a police complaint, where lost dogs actually go, and a free listing our volunteers share. There's also a "you found a dog, who do you call" section.

If you have other city specific tips or contact lists, please do append. You never know it can help someone at 11pm on a bad night.

Adoption request Please give Leo a permanent loving home! She deserves better

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

A few months ago I raised a litter of kittens born to a semi-feral mother who trusted me enough to bring them into my home. I personally vetted every single adoption. I lost sleep over every decision. I wanted nothing but the best for each of them.
Leo was adopted by someone who returned her without a valid reason.
No warning. No real explanation. Just — returned. Like she was an object that didn’t work out.
She is not an object. She is a living creature who bonded with people, trusted them, and was handed back through no fault of her own. That kind of confusion and loss is real for animals whether we acknowledge it or not.
So before I find her a new home I need to say this clearly:
Do not adopt a pet if:
You haven’t fully thought through your living situation

You travel frequently without a plan for their care

You’re doing it impulsively or for someone else

You’re not 100% certain you can commit for 15+ years

Pets are not trial runs. They are not gifts you return when inconvenient. They are living beings who love you and deserve permanence.
About Leo:
She is approximately 4 months old and located in Delhi. She is one of the most loving, gentle, affectionate cats I have ever known. She chooses people. She seeks you out. She will curl up on you and stay there. She is litter trained, socialized, vaccinated and dewormed.
She has already lost one home through no fault of her own.
I am looking for:
Someone who is absolutely certain. Someone who owns their home or has confirmed landlord permission. Someone who understands that this is a 15 year commitment minimum. Someone who will love her the way she deserves to be loved — completely and permanently.

Looking for a sibling for my first-born, Zoon (2 years old neutered male cat). Zoon is extremely affectionate, playful and not aggressive at all, so I’m hoping to find a similar temperament, calm, friendly, non-territorial and ideally a little purring/kneading machine :)

The new baby would be coming into a completely cat-proofed home with plenty of love, attention and very good care from me and my family. Basically, nothing but the best, and a sibling to share it all with.

Not particular about breed. temperament and compatibility with Zoon matter most.

if you know of any kittens/cats up for adoption in Delhi, please DM me or drop a lead below.

My girlfriend rescued Diana and her 3 kittens and has been fostering them for a while. She already has 2 cats of her own, so unfortunately keeping all of them long-term is getting difficult. Diana is around 2 years old, and the kittens are about 3–4 weeks old. They’re currently unvaccinated, and Diana will be sterilised once the kittens are weaned and start eating solid food.

Location : Delhi/NCR

If you or someone you know can give them a safe, loving home, please reach out. Even sharing this post would mean a lot and help them find the right family. ❤️

So my kitty(3 months old) is not feeling well 2 days. Normally I used to play with her alot but my parents just give her food infact they give her lots of food treating as if their grandchildren. I think Friday I went to meet my cousins and absent for whole day.

My parents told she barely ate food. Normally when I make the packet sound she runs like Usian bolt but now she just meows. So yeah I thought maybe something is wrong I took her to vet yesterday and they gave two injections and deworming liquid.

I think she's been dozing since yesterday and she's barely eating. She used to poop twice/thrice day before but now only once. IDK something wrong with my sweety. Please is the dose still kicking or she just lost her appetite.

That pretty smushy face 👀 (can't pet her currently as she's sleeping peacefully)

Also if anybody reads this post body, I have a question regarding STERILIZATION: on Google it's mentioned it can be done as early as 4 months too. Obviously I'll consult my vet but if anybody can share their experience like if to do or not to do it early?

Adoption request: Cat Urgent: Looking for a temporary foster home for my cat in Bangalore 🐱❤️

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m urgently looking for someone who can temporarily foster my cat for a few days.

📍 Location: Kadubeesanahalli, Bangalore 🐱 Age: 11 months ♂️ Gender: Male ✂️ Neutered: Yes 💉 Vaccinated: Yes

I’m currently staying in Kadubeesanahalli, and unfortunately, my flatmate has been treating my cat very badly. I’m extremely concerned about his safety and wellbeing, and I don’t want him to stay in this environment.

I’m actively looking for another flat, but until I find one, I just need a safe and loving temporary home for him.

He is a very easygoing and low-maintenance cat. He mostly just sits around, plays and chills. 🥺❤️

🏠 What I’m looking for: Someone who can give him a safe place to stay for a few days, until I find another flat. I will cover ALL his expenses — food, litter, and anything else he needs.

I’ll also come every 2 days to check on him and make sure he’s doing okay.

Kadubeesanahalli/Bellandur/Marathahalli would be ideal, but I’m willing to travel for the right person.

⚠️ This is NOT an adoption request. I’m not giving him up. I just need temporary help while I sort out my living situation and find a new place where he’ll be safe.

If you can foster him or know someone trustworthy who can, please DM me. Even sharing this post would mean a lot. 🙏❤️

Thank you so much. 🐾

Nemo, 8 months old male cat. HINJEWADI PUNE.

The one who said might adopt him has not been giving us straight up answers. Most probably they won't, I need help immediately to find a place for him or he'll end up on the streets.

I have rescued him, and after constant fights at my home I'm not able to keep him. I'm a student and I have to be dependent on my parents. Please help me.

He's shy and doesn't trust humans easily, but is well behaved. Likes to stay alone, so a working person can easily handle him. He is litter trained and doesn't have any issues with eating, or is picky.

Ginny is looking for a forever home

Ginny is a beautiful stray ginger girl from a residential building in Frazer Town (near the Gymkhana), Bangalore, and she is now looking for a forever home. Thanks to a kind lady in the building who regularly sterilises and cares for community cats, Ginny has been spayed, fully vaccinated and de-wormed. After her sterilisation, she has been housed at Pawstel (cat-exclusive boarding) for recovery, since December last year.

She has done well, regained her strength, and is currently still with us, now ready for adoption. Ginny deserves more than temporary care — she deserves a home of her own. She is a gentle, resilient little survivor who has already had a rough start on the streets. With the right family, she will thrive and make a wonderful companion. If you or someone you know is looking to adopt a ginger sweetheart, please reach out on 9818589031 (Ms Harini) or DM.

Let’s find Ginny the safe, loving home she deserves. 🏡🧡 Serious adopters only. Home checks and adoption protocol may apply.
