Our Features
Furries brings together all the tools needed to find help, give help, and track outcomes — for every animal in need.
Animal Care Guidance
Furries isn't just a directory — it's an educational resource for everyone who encounters an animal in need. Our guidance is curated with verified vets and is informational, not a substitute for professional care.
Spotting a distressed animal
Learn the key signs of injury, illness, or fear in stray dogs, cats, and other animals — and how to approach safely.
Safe first-response steps
What to do (and not do) before professional help arrives — from immobilising an injured animal to providing water.
Common conditions & urgency
Recognise mange, parvovirus, distemper, and trauma — understand which cases need immediate vet attention.
Responsible feeding
Best practices for community feeders — hygiene, safe foods, timings, and how to prevent dependency without care.
Post-rescue care basics
Guidance on keeping a rescued animal calm and safe while waiting for transport or a vet appointment.
Reporting that leads to rescue
How to write an effective case report with location, photos, and condition — making it easier for responders to act fast.
The Problem Furries Is Solving
India has millions of stray and at-risk animals. The caregivers exist. The vets exist. The NGOs exist. What's missing is the infrastructure to connect them.
India's Reality
35 million+ stray animals.
No coordinated system to help them.
The Animal Welfare Board of India estimates that fewer than 3% of injured strays receive timely medical care. Furries is changing that number.
No centralised rescue system
When someone spots an injured animal, they have no single place to report it. Calls go unanswered, rescues are delayed, and animals suffer.
Response time is too slow
Finding the right vet or NGO via Google, WhatsApp forwards, or phone calls wastes critical time during emergencies.
Community feeders work in silos
Thousands of feeders operate without coordination, duplicating effort in some areas while leaving others with nothing.
Impact is invisible
NGOs, vets, and volunteers have no shared platform to measure outcomes, showcase impact, or attract support.
Critical resources are fragmented
Blood donors, foster homes, ambulances, feeders, rescuers, NGOs, and veterinarians operate across different platforms and contact networks. During emergencies, valuable time is lost searching for the right resource instead of helping the animal.
Lack of emergency medical history
When an injured or rescued animal reaches a vet, there is often no record of its previous treatments, vaccinations, sterilization status, or medical conditions. This leads to repeated procedures, delayed decisions, and less effective care.
How Case Tracking Works
Every report on Furries follows a clear lifecycle — from the moment a citizen spots an animal in need, to the moment help is confirmed.
Case Submitted
A citizen submits a geo-tagged report with photos and condition notes and other related info. Takes under 60 seconds.
Responders Notified
Nearby verified vets, NGOs, and volunteers receive an instant alert with case details and map location.
Coordination Begins
A responder claims the case. Status updates flow back to the reporter and the Furries platform in real time.
Case Resolved
The case is marked resolved with outcome notes — rescued, treated, or referred. The data feeds our impact reports.
Advanced tracking features in development
We're expanding case tracking to give reporters live updates, NGOs better tools, and the public transparent impact data.
- Public impact dashboards per city
- Secure case history for vets & NGOs
- SMS & WhatsApp status updates
