ENROLLMENT

To fulfill our objectives, we are dependent on the largesse of the public and help from conscientious individuals like you. You can support us by becoming a life member of CUPA for Rs. 3000.00

We also have sponsorship programmes you can take up. For instance, a small regular sponsorship will mean our ambulance can attend to more distress calls. Or you can help us as a volunteer in a way which is suited to your lifestyle. Whatever you decide to do, please answer the cries for help from desperate animals.

We list some ways you can assist CUPA by choosing any one or all of these options......and thereby the animals that it strives to rescue and protect......

1. Become a life member of CUPA and help to enroll other life -members

2. Become foster-parents for an abandoned animal by paying Rs. 500.00 per month for their upkeep and visit and spend time with them on week-ends. ( more details in the Sponsorship /Aid link)

3. Opt for passive adoption of an animal where you will receive updates and progress of your ward and help to fund the cost of living for your animal. This can happen from a distance, if you are not in a position to visit and interact.

CUPA caters to about 200 large, small and infant animals per day at the KVAFSU-CUPA Animal Shelter and to about 900 street dogs per month at the CUPA Animal Birth Control Centre, in Koramangala. These animals are looked after with great care and affection by the CUPA Staff who are specially trained in animal care. But to give these animals a high and consistent standard of treatment, CUPA also requires support and assistance in useful items that can make its task easier to look after such a large animal household.....

Here is a list of items which are very welcome:

• Old Newspapers - to keep pups & kittens warm at night
• Old Clothes - To mop up dirt and clean cages
• Cleaning Equipment like swabbing clothes, floor mops and brooms
• Soaps, Phenyl and Detergents
• Towels to dry the Shelter animals after a bath
• Large and small cooking utensils
• Old and discarded soft toys which make excellent play things for pups and kittens
• Collars & Chains and Bowls to feed the animals of all sizes
• Buckets & Mugs
• Plastic Baskets and Crates for small animals to sleep in.
  

If you would like to help with hands-on work, it is important that you visit the Shelter at least once. You can ask for the Volunteer Form at the reception and spend some time in filling out the necessary details. Once completed, you will be called for a meeting with the Volunteer Co-ordinator and then delegated specific responsibilities that should be consistently undertaken, once you have made a committment of your time and energy for Shelter work.
