Sahaya Society for Animal Lovers

A Thackersey Foundation Initiative

Sahaya Society for Animal Lovers is a brand-new community concept based out of Mumbai, with an aim to expand pan-India.

We are India’s first community for people who love animals, united purely by our love for animals and our collective desire to make the world a better, kinder place for them. We have noticed that there is no inclusive space for people like us, who love animals, to support each other emotionally, to learn from each other, to grow together, to connect with each other, and to collectively help ALL animals - each in our own unique way. By sharing knowledge and support and working as one, we aim to turn isolated efforts into coordinated impact - and compassion into lasting positive change for animals in India.

Our goal is to create a supportive empowering community of animal lovers who can help each other as and when needed, to be there for one another and to unite for the ultimate aim of helping animals. We know there is a lot of cruelty & harassment going on towards people who try to help animals, and eventually most of them stop or feel isolated and alone.

Why join our community?

Sahaya Society for Animals isn’t just another group in the animal welfare space- it’s the missing link. While others focus on rescue, rehab, or policy, we connect the people doing the work. Rescuers, feeders, vets, legal allies, and volunteers come together here- not to compete or follow hierarchy- but to collaborate, learn, and support one another without judgment.

Sahaya is not a distraction from the work—it amplifies it. Through shared experiences, practical workshops, and real connections, we turn isolated efforts into a united force for lasting change. This is where compassion becomes community, and community becomes impact.

From Isolation to Belonging

Many animal lovers, rescuers, and feeders feel alone, unsupported, and even judged in their efforts. Sahaya Society provides a warm, inclusive community where you find people who truly get you—a safe tribe that shares your compassion.

From Confusion to Clarity

Most ground workers struggle with fragmented knowledge, trial-and-error rescues, and lack of practical resources. Sahaya Society fosters peer-to-peer learning through shared stories, workshops and resource exchange, giving you real solutions that work in the field.

From Small Acts to Big Impact

Individual efforts often feel like a drop in the ocean, with limited reach and sustainability. Sahaya Society connects people across India, transforming isolated acts of kindness into a collective, coordinated movement of animal welfare.

"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about."
