I Sold Everything I Had… Just to Keep These Animals Alive

I’m the Only Family These Abandoned Souls Have Left! 

“I never thought my life would take this turn. I was known as a respected homeopathic doctor… people came to me to heal their bodies. But today, I spend my life healing those who cannot even speak. The ones who look at me with eyes full of fear, pain, and hope. My animals… my family.

My story didn’t start with kindness. It started with cruelty. One day, in my own society, someone poisoned my dogs. I still remember the trembling in their bodies, the way they vomited blood, the way they struggled to breathe. I held them in my arms and ran… I ran like a madman, crying, begging God to save them. But I could save only one.

Only one. That day something broke inside me. How could people be so cruel to an innocent soul? What kind of world do we live in where a voiceless being is punished for simply existing?

After that day, everything changed. My heart changed. My purpose changed.

And strangely, healing began in the most unexpected way. One morning, while I was washing clothes, a small cat walked into my home. She quietly sat near my counter, as if she had been there a hundred times before. A little later, I heard strange noises. She was giving birth. Right there, inside my house.

I cleared the area, kept her safe, and watched her become a mother. From that moment, I never felt alone again. It was like God was telling me, “This is your path now. Take care of those who have no one.”

Today, I live with almost 200–300 animals, dogs, cows, cats… each one abandoned, injured, starving, or thrown away by society. I wake up at 5 a.m. every day and start my routine. Feeding cows. Cleaning wounds. Finding medicines. Holding the old ones as they struggle to stand. Burying the ones who couldn’t survive the night.

People say love is enough. But love alone cannot run a shelter. Love cannot buy food.
Love cannot build a safe roof. Love cannot pay for medicines.

I have sold my properties. I have given away everything I had. Some days, I eat only once.
Some nights, I don’t sleep at all, because a dog is crying in pain, or a cow is too weak to stand, or a kitten needs to be fed every two hours.

I carry pain… a pain that I don’t show. The pain of watching an animal come to me half-dead. The pain of not having enough resources to save them all. The pain of knowing that I am the only one they have.

But I also carry hope, hope that someone out there will feel what I feel. Today, I need help. Not for me… but for them.

I need donations for basic survival:

• food for dogs, cats, and cows,

• proper shelter and fencing,

• medicines and medical care.

If you help me, you are not helping a man. You are saving lives that cannot ask for help themselves.

I can fight for them. I can love them. But I cannot do this alone anymore. So today, I’m reaching out to every person who has ever paused to feed a stray, who has ever felt their heart melt at the sight of innocent eyes, who has ever believed that animals deserve love, safety, and dignity. If you are an animal lover…

 if your heart beats a little faster when you see a voiceless soul in need… then I’m asking you, humbly, to stand with me. Your donation, no matter how small, becomes food for an empty stomach, medicine for a wounded body, and hope for a life that has known only suffering. Please, help me continue this fight for them. They have only me… and now, I pray, they will have you too.” Dr. Shyam Aiyer
