NEST Animal Help Web

NEST Animal Help Web is the public emergency-support website for helping injured, sick, abandoned, abused, or distressed animals in India.

It is designed to reduce the delay between noticing an animal in trouble and reaching the right help.

What This Website Does

• routes people to nearby animal-help organisations
• provides emergency-first guidance
• surfaces public helplines and support paths
• offers legal-help content for feeders and rescuers
• supports events, live updates, and public trust signals
• creates a mobile-first experience for urgent real-world use

Why It Matters

In animal rescue, confusion costs time.

People often do not know:

• who to call first
• whether an NGO is nearby
• what first-aid steps are safe
• how to report cruelty
• what legal rights feeders and rescuers have

NEST exists to make those first actions faster, clearer, and more trustworthy.
