Kothapet · Hyderabad
We feed, rescue, sterilise and rehabilitate street animals across Kothapet: dogs, cats and any animal that needs us. Choose a cause below and your donation goes straight to that work.
Each cause has its own fundraiser on Milaap, so you know exactly what you are paying for. Every donation, big or small, is used only for that cause.
Dollar amounts are approximate, at about ₹95 to $1.
Your money goes straight to the work: Milaap pays our vet clinic, pet-food supplier and boarding facility directly. Rice, meat and lentils are bought fresh from local shops, and every bill is shared monthly.
Daily meals for the street animals we look after, so no animal on our route goes hungry.
Sterilisation and vaccination with a partner vet, followed by a safe recovery stay and rehab, so fewer puppies are born onto the streets.
Rescue, surgeries and treatment for injured or sick animals: transport, operations, medicines, dressings and follow-up visits. Our para-vet drives on every rescue, giving first aid on the spot.
Works five days a week, driving every feeding drive and rescue and giving first aid on the spot. Paid from Indian donations through the trust.

A story your donations made possible
This street dog came to us with a large tumour. After surgery and five sessions of chemotherapy, the tumour is completely gone and she is back on her street.
Our partner vets
All sterilisations and surgeries are done by these two veterinary clinics we work with. Milaap pays them directly for treatment.
Vet, pet-food, and rehab and recovery stay bills are paid directly by Milaap. Local grocery purchases are backed by bills. Each cause has its own fund, never mixed with other costs.
Every month we share all vet, food and boarding bills here as a downloadable PDF. Photos and updates of the animals are on our Instagram.
Hope of Stray Souls is being registered as a public charitable trust. Registration details will appear here.
If we raise more than a month needs, the extra is used for the next month's expenses for the same cause.
Monthly bills
Every rupee, every bill. Download last month's food, vet and boarding bills below. Any money left over is carried forward to next month's expenses.
About us
For the last 30 years, Uma Devi has been feeding, rescuing and caring for the street animals of Kothapet. Now close to 60, she has spent about ₹25 lakh (≈ $26,000) of her own money on them in the last four years alone.
Lakshmi Narasimha, who lives with a physical disability, has never let it hold him back. He has given about ₹7 lakh (≈ $7,400) in donations to animal causes over the last four years, and since September 2026 he has been standing beside Uma Devi, supporting her both financially and on the ground, and spreading awareness so more people join in. Together we started Hope of Stray Souls, because this work has grown too big for two people to carry alone.
On every feeding drive and rescue, our para-vet comes along as the driver, so trained help is on hand the moment an animal needs first aid or treatment on the spot. From daily feeding rounds to tumour surgeries, chemotherapy and fracture care, we stay with every animal until it is back on its feet.
