March and April are truly the hottest months for the city of Coimbatore and this year was exceptionally so, as the monsoons had failed last year. The ground was left unbearably dry and barren after having depleted the groundwater considerably. We faced severe challenges due to the shortage of water. Your recurring donations, as well as a few new donations that we received, have been truly life-saving for all our animals as we were able to re-bore our wells, buy new pumps and also de-silt the well on site. This enabled us to procure sufficient water for all the animals and also ensure that we could feed them adequately with nutritious food.
Summer is also the tick and flea season where we fight tooth and nail with tick infestations and deadly diseases caused by these blood parasites. Your timely donations helped us procure tick and flea medications to combat the infestations and keep our animals clean and disease-free.
In the middle of all these, we had to keep our rescue and rehoming operations, the spay/neuter and vaccination drive as well as several life-saving surgeries going. Our community awareness efforts brought about significant support in terms of public participation and volunteering and we are forever grateful for that. We have overcome these hurdles only because of your unstinting support for the cause and we want you to know that your donations have made a significant difference to several lives during the toughest time of the year.
We deeply appreciate the kind and generous gesture of all our donors in helping us tide over these two difficult months of the year.
Thank you!
