In fact, there are so many people who own multiple breeds and take care of each of them passionately. Not just pet owners, the city also houses several animal right activists
who work towards the safety of animals as well as reptiles. They rescue animals across various nodes and help give them a better place.
Shailesh Khoatkar, an animal activist from Kharghar, has by himself rescued several reptiles from various nodes in the city. He has been a volunteer in this mission of saving animals since many years now. Khoatkar has rescued more than 5000 animals as of now, including cattle, snakes, chameleons, etc. "Navi Mumbai indeed has a lot of animal lovers. There are several people who don't just own pets but also like to help animals when in crisis. The city is extremely passionate about animals, hence we have many unpaid volunteers who work selflessly in order to create awareness as well as recue animals on a regular basis.
PB Adsul, a prominent veterinary surgeon and retd. in-charge of Bai Sakrabai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals, Parel says that Navi Mumbai is indeed high on pets. "There are so many pet owners in the city, and they are very passionate about animal care. The city has a special place for animals, and hence a veterinary hospital will come as a blessing to this city. Since the hospital in Parel would get extremely overworked and crowded as animals across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Lonavala and nearby places would all flock to this hospital, as it was the only option then," says Adsul.
Pet owners heave a sigh of relief with the news of a new hospital to come up in the city. Believe it or not, Vashi resident Geeta Mahadevan owns five cats. She owns them from the time she remembers growing up. "They've always been with me and have followed me to my house even after marriage. I cannot imagine my life without them. Having an animal hospital will be a boon for animals in the city. This will, in fact, encourage many others to have pets, as pet care will now be easily available and accessible," says Geeta.
Belapur resident Vidushi Gupta owns a 10-year-old rottweiler and says that she has an amazing chemistry with her. "No one can touch me in front of him; he is a gunda. But at the same time, he is extremely adorable, loves to eats mangoes and ice-creams. I often arrange for ice-cream parties for him by calling over my friends as well as fellow pet owners."
And now a hospital
Navi Mumbai will soon have its own veterinary hospital. CIDCO has allotted them a 2000 sq. metre-plot in sector 9E, Kalamboli to an animal rights NGO to build the city's first veterinary hospital. The project is expected to be completed in two years. Chaired by Maneka Gandhi, this hospital will have state-of-the-art facilities and equipments. In fact, the hospital also aims at providing round-the-clock facilities in many of its services like X-ray, CT scans, pathology, etc. The NGO is working with several animal hospitals abroad on how to create a structure with multiple floors and the best of care units. In fact the hospital is also planning to house a small unit for wild life rescue.
