Why “Community” is in our name
Rangpur’s streets are home to thousands of cats and dogs. Many live alongside us peacefully; some get hit by vehicles, caught in wire, burned, poisoned or sick. When a kind person stops to help, the next question is always “Where do I take it?” — the answer is here.
Our Google reviews mention it too: “They also treat street animals on their own.”
Step by step: helping an injured animal
- Make sure you’re safe — traffic first, then the animal. Scared, hurt animals bite.
- Take a photo and call or WhatsApp 01783-121256. We’ll advise on moving it.
- Use a barrier — a thick towel, jacket or a cardboard box with air holes. Wear gloves if possible.
- Move gently, supporting the body. For suspected spinal injuries, slide the animal onto a flat board or cardboard.
- Keep it warm, quiet and covered during transport.
- Don’t give food, water or medicines — a badly injured animal may need surgery and anaesthesia.
If you are bitten or scratched
Wash the wound with soap and running water for 15 minutes and go to a hospital the same day for rabies vaccine. Our rabies bite guide explains exactly what to do.
Longer-term help
Healthy street cats and dogs live better, and fewer are born into hardship, when they’re vaccinated and spayed or neutered. If your neighbourhood or organisation wants to help a group of community animals, talk to us — we’d like to hear from you.
