On top of this I realised the hard way that even to keep things standing it costs quite a bit &#8211; take for example our cat surgery and recuperation area on the 1st floor of our feline complex (i mean the building and not the emotional one we suffer when we see them being given special perks). Last monsoon the roof took a terrible beating and many surgery days were lost as water would pour in like a faucet when it rained. With scant savings, literally in this case for a rainy day, it was Mr Mahtaney once again who rescued my feline pals from being marooned up there, and all in good time before the rains hit us again this November. A beautiful new roof has been installed with excellent ventilation to take my pals through summer as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enjoy!\u2026 and don\u2019t forget to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/bcinlsign\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sign up<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/index.php\/2022\/04\/14\/whitelist\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">white-list<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> us to receive this newsletter in your email inbox every quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6de124cc elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"6de124cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4f8555a9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4f8555a9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-16ffdfac\" data-id=\"16ffdfac\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c63e656 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"c63e656\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"stats\" class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f346abc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f346abc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-small\">THE LAST 90 DAYS ON THE CHENNAI STREETS<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cad6378 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2cad6378\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<h5>Making a difference &#8211;

Our tails define us &#8211; our most expressive body part &#8211; almost as much or even more useful to us than your cords will ever be. After all we cannot speak words but our tail gestures speak a thousand every minute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tail docking is illegal in our country and most other countries. It amounts to mutilation and hence animal cruelty as per the AWBI advisory of 2011.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-size ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-letter-spacing ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-text-transform ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-word-spacing );\">Even the veterinary council of India has weighed in heavily endorsing the advisory and several courts including the Madras high court in 2019 have passed judgements that it is illegal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However this horrendous act continues below the radar as evidenced by the botched up tail docking that Rino apparently suffered,<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-size ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-letter-spacing ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-text-transform ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-word-spacing );\">\u00a0by no doubt an unethical veterinarian, or worse &#8211; by the breeder himself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alerted by some good folks the BCI rescue team brought Rino from the Marina beach area with a severe wound and maggot infestation where his tail once was. This was way back on 28th Feb 2022. He was found severely dehydrated and with tick fever. It took many months of medical and mental convalescence for him to get back on his feet and it wasn\u2019t one bit easy for Rino.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now he is happily adopted by a wonderful soul Praveen Kumar and lives in Adambakkam, a stone throw from the Blue Cross.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-size ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-letter-spacing ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-text-transform ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-word-spacing ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">Rino was lucky to find good medical care and even more lucky to find a welcoming home. All tail docking stories don&#8217;t end as well as Rino\u2019s, but you can help stop this. If you know of a vet or a breeder who does this illegal mutilation &#8211; they could be \u2018in the dock\u2019 for it if you bring it to the attention of the AWBI or the veterinary council of india.

Just weeks before she was a cat who couldn\u2019t even walk. When our team found her she was in great pain, and her right forepaw was hanging to her just by the bone. Her sparkless eyes reflected a grim resignation as she kept licking her severely infected wound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It took a lot of TLC, work by our vets and paravets and time, to get her going and it was painful to see her suffer through it. But as the days passed, she braved to stand on all four and her eyes began to soften and then sparkle like stars, and the tiny paw then stretched out to extend gratitude. We named her Tara (after her eyes). <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1203\" aria-expanded=\"false\">  Back Street Brawl<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1203\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1203\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2_Lucky_BA.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am Lucky, no &#8211; not lucky, Lucky with a capital L &#8211; duh! Today, I am going to share with you the story of my horrible scar. It was business as usual and I was going about it as I have done every morning for the last two years of my existence. I hv seen fights before, even been in some. They are usually about food, but they would be quickly resolved, amicably. This morning however it was a bit different. We had a newcomer in our midst &#8211; he was big and strong and looked like a moose. Not only that, he wanted a big share of whatever little we had in the garbage lot. Jaws, my leader wasn\u2019t happy about it, and he made it clear in no uncertain terms, but the new guy was adamant and a fight broke out &#8211; a big one. Initially it looked as though Jaws had it under control, but it suddenly turned for the worse, and when I saw it wasn&#8217;t going so well for Jaws, I pitched in to help. One thing led to another and before I knew it Moose had my entire upper jaw inside his mouth, his canines deep inside my face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyway, long story short, when the dust settled, I had a gash the size of the grand canyon and blood gushing out of it. But it was not until a week when someone smelt the stink that it was noticed. Maggots were having a field day inside when I was rescued and brought to the Blue Cross. Thanks to the wonderful doctors, my eye was saved and I can see again &#8211; the only reminder now is the big scar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I saw many like me come to the Blue Cross, most of them with advanced levels of infection and maggot infestation. If only people helped us when we get wounded instead of waiting till we start to stink, much of our suffering can be reduced. There are so many dogs that have similar stories to tell but don\u2019t live to tell them. Can you change that? Stay alert to animal distress and please report it to an NGO near you &#8211; who knows it may help another Lucky.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d4d48a7 elementor-list-item-link-inline elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"7d4d48a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#top\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-up\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">back to top<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-798b0bb8 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"798b0bb8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-45208949 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"45208949\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-398ebe86\" data-id=\"398ebe86\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11beb03c elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"11beb03c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"tactical\" class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ff49ccf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3ff49ccf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-small\">DRAMA IN REAL LIFE<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18c79c3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18c79c3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<h5>Great Rescues<\/h5>\n<p>The Blue Cross special rescue team pulls off rescues that need special skills.

Johnny, my dog was very sick and needed to be in a hospital. Those were days when public transport was not an option and even the auto drivers refused to let a dog ride with you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #666699;\">Having exhausted all options, high strung and with almost no hope, I made a desperate last ditch call to Dr Chinny Krishna already knowing well what the answer would be &#8211; \u2018Blue Cross is a charity and is set up for transport of street animals only\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #666699;\">What I found outside my doorstep 30 minutes later\u00a0&#8211; was his personal car, ready to take me and Johnny to the only big vet hospital in town at Vepery &#8211; a long drive from Adambakkam in the south. A gesture so humane, it has completely transformed me as a person. I had not known much about Blue Cross before this, but started to volunteer regularly there. I experienced first hand the battles they were fighting everyday. The challenges of running a free clinic, rescuing trapped animals in distress and bringing in sick street animals to treat at their hospital from all around the city. The uphill battle they fought to educate and bring policy changes. Successfully\u00a0making the animal birth control program (the most humane way to population control) the official way to manage street animals is a watershed moment for India and till today remains an example for many other countries that followed suit. I saw first hand all this happen in Chennai &#8211; the stoppage of catch-and-cull, the ABC program being implemented and the drop in incidence of rabies as a result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #666699;\">As for volunteering at the sanctuary &#8211; the whole experience for me was, to say the least, the most humbling, and it forever changed my perception of animal welfare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #666699;\">The resources needed to pull off anything at the scale Blue Cross is working at is immense. With nearly 2000 animal residents (many in treatment) the medical and nutrition costs alone can break the spirit of a team any less resolute than the one in place. Keeping employee costs and turnover low and motivated to provide a high level of care (many a times palliative due to the advanced conditions of sickness and injury when street animals are finally noticed and brought to the sanctuary) is extremely challenging, especially amidst all the suffering. But Dr Chinny\u2019s team does it day after day, all 365 days of the year against all odds. I cannot imagine anything in my long experience as a businessperson as complex as what BCI has been doing relentlessly for nearly six decades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #666699;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2693 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AnithaBala2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"150\" \/>I will continue to volunteer and support BCI and do my bit for the voiceless in every possible way.

So, we decided to adopt. When the moment came when we had to make a choice, he was the one we were driving home with from Blue Cross of India. Our parents had no idea we were bringing home a cat.

Our parents warmed up to him. It took a lot of experimentation but we figured out his food preferences. He was ever so patient and loving throughout the adjustment period.

There was one time he chased a cricket onto the sunshade, wanting to give him an ego-boost, I joined the hunt and pushed it down with a mop. It was right there, he pounced on it but it got away.

So, we decided to adopt. When the moment came when we had to make a choice, he was the one we were driving home with from Blue Cross of India. Our parents had no idea we were bringing home a cat. They reacted as all parents do, \u201cHe must go!\u201d.\u00a0 The first week was the toughest. Being first time pet owners, we didn\u2019t know what to feed him. We gave him cow\u2019s milk, with cat food in it. It made him sick. We were distraught. It became worse when he simply stopped eating. We were convinced that we were bad for him. Giving him up seemed like the humane thing to do, but how could we when we grew to love him so much. We\u2019re grateful we never gave into that impulse.\u00a0 Four days later, he began exploring the house. Our parents warmed up to him. It took a lot of experimentation but we figured out his food preferences. He was ever so patient and loving throughout the adjustment period. Before we knew it, he was napping on my mother\u2019s lap when she came back from work. We knew we were Romeo\u2019s family, his forever home.\u00a0 It&#8217;s been a whole year since. He\u2019s a feisty, temperamental teenager now. Has a very refined palate. Spends most of his time in our garden, chasing butterflies, and crickets. Don\u2019t tell him I told you this, but he is a lousy hunter. There was one time he chased a cricket onto the sunshade, wanting to give him an ego-boost, I joined the hunt and pushed it down with a mop. It was right there, he pounced on it but it got away. Then he looked at me as if it was all my fault. Well &#8211; thats Romeo in a nutshell &#8211; he has put our entire family, especially my skeptical parents in a magic spell.&#8221; For over a year now,\u00a0Priya and her parents have been under Romeo&#8217;s spell and couldn&#8217;t be happier. Do you want to be spell-bound by the simple wave of a whisker &#8211;\u00a0adopt a kitten instead of shopping for one.\u00a0 The Blue Cross of India animal sanctuary has loads of kittens, pups and oodles of advise on how to care for them and bring them up. Make one a part of your loving family today.

A Paradigm Shift Employees Of The Month Volunteers Of The Month This, That and Other Animal Matters The World Animal Calendar Can You Help ! FROM THE EDITOR&#8217;S KEN (NEL) \u00a0 Hello Folks! Another quarter zipped past us like Apophis before I could say Humuhumunukunukuapua\u2019a, which by the way is the longest name given to an animal &#8211; this particular one being a fish of Hawaiian origin. They are a reef triggerfish and happen to be the official fish of Hawaii (yes the same place where your slippers came from). The Jul-Aug-Sep quarter had loads of stuff happening and this time too I&#8217;ve been spoilt for choice with the wonderful stories of rescue, recovery and rehoming we&#8217;ve had to share with you &#8211; the unstinting supporters of the Blue Cross. In early May, I was introduced to two ladies by our GM Vinod &#8211; Veena Gurubatham and Vidhya Lakshmi who had come all the way from Salem (a major city about 340 km west south west from here) to check out our work. After the usual pleasantries, I heard them talking about taking our help for the wellbeing of my brothers and sisters over there. They left paying glowing tributes to our work and I guess were impressed enough, because in early August, under the flag of BCI they kicked off a full fledged ABC program for the Salem streeties in collaboration with the Salem Corporation. Read all about the initiative here.\u00a0 In early July our new Adult Dog Adoption Centre (ADAC) went live &#8211; I call it the finishing school for my abandoned brothers and sisters.\u00a0Help Animals India\u00a0sponsored most of the work for this project. We opened admissions for grades 1 through 4 and I spent the first week of July shortlisting candidates for the first academic year. There was a flood of applicants, but I dealt with fairness and the admittance was purely on merit. With 23 enrolled we are now filled to capacity, so we would like you to swing by and pick one of them to take home. If you wish to get one send my manager a holler at velu@bluecrossofindia.org August 26th : International Dog Day: Blue Cross collaborated with WorkEZ to run an adoption drive at three of their locations &#8211; Guindy, Mount Road and Sholinganallur. If you would like to run such programs and help find homes for the scores of orphaned pups and kittens that land up at the Blue Cross everyday please write into velu@bluecrossofindia.org\u00a0 \u00a0 September 12th 2022: BCI website relaunch &#8211; Did you know that the seeds of BCI were sown in 1959 and it was called AAA for Animal Aid Association until it was officially registered in 1964 as Blue Cross of India. Learn about this and much more of our history. Head to\u00a0bluecrossofindia.org\u00a0and learn about\u00a0who we are\u00a0,\u00a0what we do\u00a0and ways you can help us, and don\u2019t forget to leave us feedback about the website in the comments section at the bottom of this newsletter.\u00a0 September saw a beautiful turf come up on the horse paddocks by the BCI stables.\u00a0You might remember from the newsletter of first quarter, Jack (our lead horse) had made a compelling\u00a0appeal for help to fix the horse stables and not only Help Animals India stepped forward, but with additional air cover from Mr Vijay Mahtaney\u00a0the entire unused marsh area that had also been raised a couple of feet (see our Q1 newsletter). This quarter Mr Mahtaney&#8217;s team took it one step further and the entire place was covered with a beautiful patch of green and turned into a full service paddock. Watch a video of these lovelies galloping in the meadow &#8211; aren\u2019t they a sight for sore eyes. It costs a ton to just keep things running, and I am not talking about my horse pals in the new meadow. The day to day expenses to keep a sanctuary, hospital and rehabilitation centre running is crazy expensive. On top of this I realised the hard&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_theme","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2941","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2941"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2941\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3604,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2941\/revisions\/3604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
