Cupa

We offer comprehensive animal rescue, rehabilitation, and advocacy services, backed by over 34 years of experience. Our work is driven by a commitment to science, compassion, and action.

This image represents the critical choice we face. On one side, a happy, healthy dog living freely. On the other, dogs confined to overcrowded shelters. My legal advocacy fights for a future where every animal gets the chance to live a life of dignity, not one of suffering.

If you witness animal cruelty and don't know what to do, I am here to help. My Legal Initiative Cell (CLIC) offers free advice to guide you on how to register complaints and seek justice for animals in need.

This is why I fight. This puppy was a victim of a brutal attack, but with emergency treatment, he is now on the road to recovery. My work ensures that perpetrators of such cruelty can be held legally accountable.

My legal work covers a wide range of issues. This is a snapshot of the active cases from one month, including Public Interest Litigations against puppy breeding, cases for elephant welfare, and defending animal welfare NGOs.

Conflicts with Resident Welfare Associations are a common problem. I help citizens understand and implement BBMP guidelines, which now mandate the formation of Animal Welfare Committees in every RWA.

This is what we work for. This community dog was brought to us with a severely swollen and wounded face, but after treatment at our Trauma Centre, his true spirit shines through. We see the pain, but we focus on the recovery.

We see many cats who have suffered terrible accidents. This community cat came to us with her mouth torn apart, but our trauma team gave her a fighting chance. The 'after' photo shows her on the slow but steady road to recovery.

We use advanced treatments like laser therapy to help our patients heal. This non-invasive therapy provides significant relief from pain and inflammation for animals suffering from paralysis or severe injuries, accelerating their recovery process.

Our rescue ambulance is equipped to handle emergencies for all community animals, big or small. Here, our team has just rescued a young calf found unable to walk after a suspected road accident, bringing him to our centre for urgent care.

This brave girl is now in good health and ready for release. After arriving with a large tumor that required her leg to be amputated, she has recovered beautifully. She is a testament to the strength of street animals.

We rescue and treat injured or seriously ill street animals in Bangalore for free, focusing on those with no one else to help.

This is what our work is all about. We take animals who were exploited and give them a life where they never have to work again. They are free from fear, surrounded by loving humans, and can finally just be themselves.

Meet Manohar. He came to us as a calf after being the victim of a hit and run accident. His story is a harsh reminder of the dangers these animals face, and it’s why our trauma recovery work is so critical.

These donkeys spent their lives carrying heavy loads, often in pain. At our sanctuary, they live without chains, without burdens, and without suffering. This is the retirement every working animal deserves.

A simple pleasure. We provide salt licks and nutritious fodder to ensure our residents are not just surviving, but thriving. Seeing them happy and healthy is our greatest reward.

We ask people to see animals from a different perspective. What if we saw them not as machines built for profit, but as sentient beings who feel joy, pain, and love, just like us?

The transformation is why we never give up. This beautiful buffalo is now healthy, strong, and living peacefully at our center, a world away from his past struggles.

Large Animal Sanctuary & Rehabilitation

Rescues across Bengaluru; Sanctuary at Gnana Bharathi

We give abandoned and abused large animals a permanent home where they get expert medical care, free grazing, and live as family, not as workers.

Meet Genie. She thought she had found her forever home, only to be returned just as she was starting to feel safe. We're committed to finding her a true family that understands a pet is for life, not just for a little while.

This is the smile of Lakhan, one of our beloved senior residents. He's a gentle soul looking for someone to sponsor his golden years at our Geriatric Centre. Your support provides him with food, medical care, and endless affection.

The harsh reality of our work. These five tiny ginger kittens were found dumped in a sack outside our Trauma Centre. They are safe with us for now, but they urgently need loving homes to grow up in.

Pet Adoption, Fostering & Sponsorship

Fostering and Adoptions across Bengaluru; Visit centres at Mylappanahalli and Sanjayanagara

We help you adopt, foster, or sponsor rescued dogs and cats—including seniors and special needs—through a careful matching process, with options for short-term or financial support if you can't adopt.

The choice is clear: a happy, healthy dog living peacefully in its community, or a sad, frightened dog behind bars. We advocate for the only humane and scientific solution: Sterilize, Vaccinate, Return. This approach is backed by law and is the most effective way to manage street animal populations and prevent rabies.

This is what "not cruel" looks like. These community cats are resting safely after their neutering surgery. By preventing overpopulation, we stop the cycle of homelessness, disease, and starvation. This simple act is one of the kindest things we can do for them.

Our work is about creating real, measurable change. In May alone, we spayed 335 community dogs, preventing thousands of future births on the streets. Each surgery means less roaming, less aggression, a lower risk of cancer, and a better quality of life for that animal.

Spay/Neuter & Animal Birth Control

Services across Bengaluru; Centres at Jayanagar, Dommasandra and RT Nagar

We run large-scale, affordable spay and neuter programs for street cats and dogs in Bangalore, following national and WHO guidelines, with full recovery and return to their original locations.

This is what a day at our Small Animal Specialty Hospital looks like. From a thorough veterinary examination and reviewing digital X-rays to providing comfortable in-patient recovery and stocking our pet store, we offer comprehensive services all under one roof.

This is why we do what we do. This brave community dog is now in good health and ready for release after our team successfully removed a large tumor and amputated her leg. Her recovery is a testament to the advanced pet surgery we perform.

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you. Every time you bring your pet to us for a check-up or grooming, you are directly helping us provide critical care for animals in need across all our centers. This little pup represents the hope you give them.

We invest in technology that makes a real difference. Laser therapy has been a game-changer for many of our canine patients, providing non-invasive relief from pain and inflammation, and is a key part of our paralysis and post-surgery rehabilitation programs.

My Story

We’re CUPA – Compassion Unlimited Plus Action. Started out in Bangalore 30 years ago, just couldn’t turn away from animals hurting on the streets. Not just a job, this is our life. Some days break us, like seeing an old dog dumped by family, or a kitten run over. But then, a puppy finds a home, or someone like Sharadha didi takes in strays, and our faith comes back. We’re vets, rescuers, volunteers – fighting for every animal’s second chance.

My Work

What We Do - Rescue street animals, trauma care, subsidized spay/neuter, adoptions, large animal sanctuary, legal advocacy, and pet vet care.

Emergency Animal Rescue - Sick, injured, or abused animals? We’re there, day or night. Our trauma centers handle tough cases, never giving up.

Adopt a Friend - Dogs, cats, seniors, special-needs babies – all waiting for family. Adopt senior dogs Bangalore and change a life.

Spay & Neuter Programs - We run subsidized spay neuter programs for street cats and dogs. It’s the only way to control population, humanely.

Large Animal Sanctuary - Cows, donkeys, horses, bulls – our large animal sanctuary Karnataka gives them peace after rough lives.

Cruelty Prevention & Legal Help - Our legal team fights cruelty, illegal breeding, and helps animal feeders. We push for better laws, always.

Pet Hospital for All - Bring your pets to our hospital. Vet care, grooming, all proceeds go back to our rescues.
