50+ animals at and around FLAME University rely on us for survival but rising medical costs now threaten our ability to continue their care.

The Animal Welfare Committee (AWC) at FLAME University, Pune is a student-led initiative working towards responsible and humane animal welfare on and around campus. We currently care for 50+ animals, providing daily feeding, sterilisation, vaccination, emergency medical care, and long-term treatment for animals with chronic and critical conditions. Our work focuses not just on immediate relief, but on building a safe, stable, and low-conflict campus ecosystem over time.

Over the past few months, medical and care-related expenses have increased significantly, leading to a growing financial burden. Many of the animals under our care require continuous treatment and monitoring, making sustained support essential.

Some of our critical cases:

•  Goatface Sr. was diagnosed with a thyroid disorder causing severe skin issues, along with a mammary gland tumor. He has undergone surgery and is currently under observation to monitor recurrence, along with continued treatment and care. Total amount: ₹10,800 + ₹1,200/month for medication. Surgery and post-op care: ₹17,847 + ₹12,000.
• Tilak suffers from severe spinal arthritis and high blood pressure, requiring lifelong medication, supplements, and specialised care. Total amount: ₹11,500 + ₹600/month.
• Tukaram is one of our oldest dogs, diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his abdomen. Given his condition, we are currently providing palliative care to ensure he remains comfortable and pain-free for as long as possible. Total amount: ₹10,200 + ₹1,200/month.
• Spinner is a young dog with a permanently damaged joint due to an untreated fracture, leading to chronic pain, muscle loss, and lifelong care needs. Total amount: ₹10,000 + ₹3,400/month.
• Yoda recently underwent surgery for a tumor near his spine and has been diagnosed with fibrosarcoma. He now requires continued monitoring, treatment, and post-surgical care. Surgery, treatment and tests: ₹37,000.

Every contribution directly supports:

• Medical treatments and surgeries
• Daily nutrition and recovery diets
• Sterilisation and vaccination drives
• Long-term foster care for vulnerable animals at ₹250 per day per dog

Your support helps us move from reactive care to sustained, responsible welfare, ensuring that these animals not only survive, but live with dignity and reduced suffering. Even a small contribution goes a long way in helping us continue this work and create a safer, more humane campus environment.
