The first 10 minutes: what to do

Secure the scene: Move the animal out of traffic only if it's safe for you. Approach slowly from the front — injured animals may bite out of fear. Offer water, not food: Small sips of water help; avoid feeding, especially if the animal is vomiting or may need surgery. Call a helpline: Start with the city helplines on this page. Say the animal's condition, the species, and the exact location with a landmark. Report it on PawRescue: A photo and a GPS pin create a public rescue case that verified rescuers can accept and track — it stays visible even if calls go unanswered. Stay findable: If you can, wait near the animal or leave a clear marker. Rescuers lose precious time searching when the reporter has left.

Does BBMP pick up injured street dogs in Bengaluru?

BBMP runs animal birth control and has ward-level vets, but emergency pickups mostly fall to NGOs like the ones listed above. File a PawRescue report as well so the case stays visible if calls go unanswered.

I found a kitten near Koramangala — is that a rescue case?

If it's injured, sick or genuinely abandoned, yes — report it on PawRescue. If it's healthy and its mother may be nearby, watch for a few hours first; mother cats often move litters.

What details make a Bengaluru rescue report useful?

A clear photo, the species, how urgent it looks, and an exact location — a GPS pin or a typed address with a landmark. Bengaluru's traffic means rescuers won't circle an area searching; precision gets animals helped.
