Our Work

Our Compassionate Services

Samovila Foundation is a mid-sized home for senior and handicapped community cats and dogs, with a carefully limited capacity of 75 resident animals to ensure their safety, medical care, and comfort. We prioritise using donations for the daily care of our residents rather than expansion. Our primary responsibility remains the long-term wellbeing of the animals in our care. We foster and treat local animals in Palghar who can be rehabilitated and released, and we support rescuers and caregivers in Mumbai with funds for food, sterilisation, and foster care whenever possible. Since 2019, we have fostered and treated over 70 animals from Palghar, with 15 of them becoming permanent residents when they could not safely return to the streets.

We provide comprehensive care for animals in need, from emergency rescue to rehabilitation and finding forever homes.

Why Our Work Matters

We foster wounded and community animals of Palghar involved in accident . These animals are rescued by a local ngo and then taken care of at our shelter.

What Sets Us Apart

Lifetime Care for the Most Vulnerable

We provide a permanent, loving home to senior and handicapped animals who cannot be adopted, ensuring they live with dignity, safety, and compassion.

Transparent & Responsible Use of Donations

With a limited, carefully managed number of residents, every contribution directly supports their daily food, medical care, and long-term wellbeing.

Quality Care Over Expansion

We focus on sustainable, high-quality care rather than rapid growth, so each animal receives consistent attention, treatment, and a secure future.

Sustainable & Ethical Intake Policy

We rescue responsibly, taking in animals only when we can commit to their lifelong care, ensuring no animal is neglected due to overcapacity.

High Medical-Need Focus

A significant part of our work is dedicated to animals requiring continuous treatment, rehabilitation, and specialised care.

Extending Support Beyond Our Shelter

Along with caring for our residents, we assist local rescuers and caregivers with food, sterilisation, and foster support whenever possible..

Providing compassion, shelter, and hope to animals in need since 2010. Every life matters.
