Manali Strays - the first animal rescue charity
& veterinary hospital in Kullu district
Manali Strays is the first animal rescue organisation in the Kullu district, a 5503 km2 area at the foothills of the Himalayas. The four founders specifically decided to start an animal rescue charity in the touristic area of Manali because there were absolutely no facilities or options for rescuing small animals. The only vets available were government vets who primarily work with cows, goats, etc.
The People of Manali Strays
Manali Strays was founded in response to the absence of any medical facilities for street animals. We are a small dedicated group of people from India, the UK, and South Africa. Manali Strays is made up of animal lovers, veterinary professionals, scientists, animal activists, and business owners.
How Manali Strays is funded
As a charity, we rely on donations to operate. Each month our expenses reach approximately:
300,000 INR/£3,000/$3,700
This covers medical supplies, ambulance fuel, food for the animals, staff costs, electricity, etc.
How to help Manali Strays
You can help us continue to save lives and make Manali, and surrounding areas, a safer and better place for animals.
