Ace cricketer, Virat Kohli's love for animals is no secret. Over the last several years, Virat Kohli's foundation has been working with many causes and continuing the same, the team has now decided to open two animal shelters in Malad and Boisar areas of Mumbai.
This decision has been taken for the betterment of blind and paralysed animals. The foundation has taken the step in association with two other NGOs, which work for the same purpose - Vivaldis Animal Health and Awaaz, and Voice of Stray Animals.
Reports state that the animals will be first taken to the shelter in Malad for treatment, and upon recovery, they will be shifted to Boisar. The plan is to offer medical support to cats and dogs, which are affected in Mumbai. Ambulance services will also be offered by Kohli's foundation.
Sharing more information, Virat Kohli, in an interview said that the team's objective is to support stray animals thereby offer them a 'safe space' in the city. He expressed his happiness in collaborating with the NGOs which are driven towards providing shelter to these animals.
He took to Twitter to share the information with a message that read, "To ensure health and support services to stray animals, @vkfofficial has now taken its first step towards animal welfare in collaboration with @vivaldisanimalhealth. I want to thank my wife, @anushkasharma, for inspiring me by her passion towards animals and for being a constant advocate for animal rights. I look forward to this opportunity to help the strays of our city. Today, on World Stray Animals Day, we are announcing our collaboration with leading animal healthcare company Vivaldis, and Awaaz, NGO supporting stray animals, we’ve come together to build safe spaces and ensure easy medical access to the stray animals of our city.
