Lilly Daniel'S Animal Care Foundation

You can find us over at 37B in the Old State Bank Colony in Tambaram. We share the space with Mohan Raj Arulnayagam. It’s a busy house because there are always animals around. We didn't plan on being a big organization; it just happened because there were so many dogs and cats needing help in Kanchipuram. Our floors are usually covered in paw prints and we always have a bag of feed ready by the door. It’s loud sometimes, but we’ve gotten used to the barking. We spend most of our money on medicine and food rather than fixing up the office. It’s a bit worn out, but the animals don’t mind. We aren't professionals with fancy degrees, just people who can't walk past a hurt animal. The 600045 area keeps us pretty busy every day. We don't have set hours because animals don't follow a schedule. Someone is usually awake late at night checking on a sick puppy. It’s hard work and our clothes usually smell like soap and wet fur. We don't do this for praise. We just do it because it needs doing. Our neighbors are patient with the noise, which we appreciate. It’s a bit chaotic, but it’s our life. We just take it one day at a time and do our best for them. Every stray we help makes the long hours worth it.
