A Proud Survivor 🐄❤️

Long ago, we rescued a group of stray cows from Anantapur.

When they first arrived, we gave them fresh green grass. But heartbreakingly, some of them were unable to digest their food and started deteriorating. After a post-mortem, we discovered that it was due to large amounts of plastic that were coiled up inside their stomachs.

We realised the remaining cows could be suffering from the same problem. They underwent rumenotomy surgery to remove the plastic and give them a chance at life.

This beautiful girl is one of the survivors.

Today, she is blind due to old age and suffers from arthritis and age-related problems in her legs. After everything she has been through, she continues to live on with special care and love.

A proud survivor. A true fighter. ❤️🐄

A Blackbuck’s Fight for Survival 🖤

A female blackbuck was found injured after being hit by a vehicle on the highway. The Forest Department rescued her and handed her over to us for treatment.

She was brought to us in the morning. On examination, we found that both her front legs had severe fractures. The accident had occurred late the previous night, leaving her in a critical condition.

We immediately started treatment and administered IV fluids to support her.

Her condition is extremely serious, and unfortunately, her chances of survival are very low. But we are doing everything possible to give her a chance.

A Past We Never Expected 🐒

A few years ago, a man uploaded YouTube videos of himself performing with two monkeys. The videos came to the attention of the Forest Department, and the monkeys were seized. One of them was later entrusted to Karuna Society.

As he was a rhesus macaque a species not native to this region .We wanted to know how he had ended up here. We later learned that he had been found among the bodies of several monkeys that had been killed and dumped. He was the only survivor, barely alive, with severe ant-inflicted injuries that had destroyed much of his nose and surrounding facial tissue.

By the time he reached us, he had recovered from those injuries. We housed him in an enclosure, but one day he escaped. Instead of disappearing, he chose to stay. Today, he lives freely within the sanctuary, has formed bonds with the local monkeys, and visits us every day for food.

His story is also a reminder that conflict between people and wildlife doesn't have to end in cruelty. Across many villages, monkeys are sometimes killed to protect crops and orchards. But there are humane ways to manage these conflicts. No animal deserves to be beaten, poisoned, or discarded. Coexistence may not always be easy, but compassion should never be optional.

Some stories take time🐕🌻

One little puppy was found near Rao's Clinic after a road accident that left him with a fractured leg. Healing has been slow, but with treatment, rest, and lots of care, he is improving every day.

A few days later, another brown puppy was found abandoned near our karuna cattle shed compound. He was barely alive when we reached him. We started IV fluids immediately, and after two days of care, he was back on his feet and walking again.

Today, both puppies are safe and receive separate care near our kitchen. They still have a long road ahead, but they now have what every animal deserves, a chance to heal.

Thank you to everyone who supports our work and believes that every life matters. 🐾❤️

ONE RESCUE. THREE GENERATIONS. ❤️🐴

Three days ago, this beautiful foal was born.

But this story began many years ago, when its grandmother was abandoned on the streets of Puttaparthi. She developed tetanus, and our team at Karuna Society rescued her and cared for her until she recovered.

She later became a mother.

Her daughter the mare in this reel ,recently overcame a serious episode of colic after timely treatment by our veterinarian, Dr. Vigna Tej Reddy.

Now, she has welcomed this healthy foal into the world.

This little one is the third generation of a family that exists because one abandoned mare was rescued.

One rescue. Three generations. Countless reasons to keep caring. ❤️

A Life Rescued, A Life Remembered🐂

In 2006, we rescued a young calf from an illegal and cruel cattle transport operation. He was badly injured and had lost one eye.

Despite this difficult beginning, he grew into a magnificent bull and spent nearly 15 years at our Ahimsa Organic Garden. He worked alongside our Karuna workers for many years and became one of their favorites. No matter how challenging the task, he carried it out with ease, strength, and remarkable discipline. His dedication and gentle nature earned the love and respect of everyone who knew him.

After a well-deserved retirement, he spent his later years in comfort and care.

Last night, he passed away peacefully. Today, we laid him to rest on the land he helped nurture throughout his life. As part of a traditional practice, his horns were placed slightly above the soil as a symbolic gesture of respect and remembrance.

We are deeply grateful for the years we shared with him and for all that he gave to the land, our Karuna workers, and our community.

May he rest in peace💐💐.

🌻 A New Beginning for Two Little Souls 🌻

Found abandoned in Enumulapalli, these tiny siblings were lucky that their cries were heard by compassionate people who refused to walk away.

When they arrived in our care, they were frightened, vulnerable, and completely dependent on others for survival. Over the past six weeks, they have blossomed into healthy, playful, and curious young kittens, discovering the safety, comfort, and love that every animal deserves.

Soon, they will move to a cat shelter where they will have more space to explore, play, and continue growing as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives.

Thank you to everyone who supports animal welfare and helps create a safer world for animals in need.

🐒 RESCUE UPDATE FROM KARUNA SHELTER 🐒

On 23rd May, a monkey was brought to the Karuna Society for Animals and Nature shelter after a complaint was lodged regarding a severe bite incident involving a neighbour's child. The case was reported to Hindupur Police Station, and both the Police and Forest Department ensured that the monkey was officially handed over to our shelter by his owners.

At the Karuna shelter, we are now providing him with the care, nutrition, and rehabilitation he needs. Sadly, monkeys that are kept as pets often suffer physically and mentally from being separated from their own kind. In this case, we have observed unusual behaviour and obesity, both of which may be linked to his past living conditions.

Our rehabilitation team will gradually assess whether he can safely integrate with other monkeys. If he successfully socializes and adapts, we will work towards returning him to a natural environment. However, if he is unable to coexist with his fellow monkeys, he will remain under the lifelong care and protection of the Karuna shelter.

Wild animals belong in the wild, with their own species. Every monkey deserves freedom, companionship, and a chance to live as nature intended. ❤️
