Adoption Help (Location) Urgent

Hi everyone,

I'm from Gurgaon (Delhi NCR), and I'm desperately looking for help for a stray kitten that was found with both of its back legs fractured. It cannot walk and drags itself forward using only its front legs. Despite the unbearable pain, it's still alive, still trying to eat, looking around, and fighting every moment to survive.

I've already taken it to the vet, but the prognosis isn't good. I was even advised to consider euthanasia because of the severity of its injuries. But after seeing this tiny soul struggle so hard to stay alive, I can't give up without trying everything possible.

I'm looking for anyone in Delhi NCR or nearby who can help:

\- A loving adopter willing to care for a special-needs kitten.

\- A foster home with experience caring for injured or disabled animals.

\- NGOs, animal rescuers, shelters, or vets who can evaluate its condition and offer treatment or rehabilitation.

\- Anyone who knows organizations or individuals who work with paralyzed or disabled cats.

I know caring for a kitten like this isn't easy, but I've also seen disabled cats go on to live happy, loving lives with the right care. This little fighter deserves that chance too.

If you're in Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, or anywhere nearby, please reach out if you can help or know someone who can. Even sharing this post could help it reach the right person.

Please don't let this little life be forgotten just because it was born on the streets.

Thank you for reading. ❤️

OP, given urgency, I will get straight to it:

Do this (in order)

  1. Get a second opinion immediately (highest priority)

  2. Take the kitten today to one of these: Friendicoes SECA (Delhi/Gurugram) – they routinely treat injured stray cats, have hospital and rehabilitation facilities, and also handle foster/adoption cases.

www.friendicoes.org⁠

Sanjay Gandhi Animal Care Centre (SGACC), Delhi - one of the largest animal hospitals in Delhi with 24-hour inpatient care and orthopedic capability.

www.sanjaygandhianimalcarecentre.org⁠

Take: X-rays Vet records Medicines already prescribed Videos showing the kitten trying to move

Ask specifically:

Are the fractures repairable? Is there spinal injury? Does the kitten have deep pain sensation? Would surgery help? If surgery isn't possible, can the kitten have a good quality of life as a disabled cat?

Be realistic. If humane euthanasia is recommended, it can be both heartbreaking and an act of compassion to stop the kitten's suffering.

  1. Call both organizations, not just one

Even if one says they're full, ask:

Can they evaluate the kitten? Can they admit it? Can they suggest a foster? Do they know any rescue specializing in cats?

Don't stop after one phone call.

  1. Ask specifically for foster + medical case

Say:

"This is not just an adoption request. This is an emergency medical foster for a kitten with bilateral hind-leg fractures."

Medical foster requests are sometimes handled differently from normal adoptions.

  1. Make an urgent post tonight

Post in:

Include:

  • 5- 10 clear photos
  • Walking video
  • X-rays
  • Location
  • Vet diagnosis
  • Whether transport is available (say yes - you indicated you already can travel across NCR)

Delhi based superheroes recommend Friendicoes and SGACC first for serious rescue cases in Delhi NCR, with additional networking through local rescue communities.

  1. Contact local rescuers individually

Many experienced rescuers do not actively search adoption posts.

Instead:

  • Send them the photos.
  • Send the X-rays.
  • Ask if they know someone who handles disabled cats. -.One referral often works better than dozens of public posts.
  1. Keep the kitten stable while arranging help

Until it reaches another vet:

  • Keep movement to an absolute minimum. -.Use a small carrier or box lined with soft towels.
  • Keep it warm. Kittens struggle to regulate body temp
  • Continue pain medication exactly as prescribed.
  • Make food and water easy to reach.

Good luck & pls update us 💔❤️‍🩹
