As part of its ongoing community feeding initiatives, the Foundation recently organised feeding drives at Karma Foundation and POSH Foundation, where Zigly Pet Care employees volunteered alongside shelter teams to feed 450 shelter dogs. The drives brought employees closer to the day-to-day work of animal welfare organisations and highlighted the importance of sustained support and collaboration in caring for shelter animals.
With further feeding drives planned in Noida and Gurugram, the Foundation aims to extend its support to more shelters and communities.
Speaking on the initiative, Ms. Yamini Kumar Jaipuria, Managing Trustee, Cosmo Foundation and Whole-time Director (Corporate Strategy, ESG and CSR), Cosmo First, said, “At Zigly Foundation, we believe that animal welfare requires consistent effort and collective responsibility. Access to food is a basic need, yet community and shelter dogs often depend on the support of individuals and organisations for their daily meals. Through these initiatives, we aim to support the everyday needs of community animals while encouraging collective responsibility towards building healthier and more compassionate communities for people and animals.”
Feeding is one component of Zigly Foundation’s wider work to improve the health and well-being of community animals. The Foundation has also handcrafted outfits for the Honourable Prime Minister’s Punganur cows and received a Letter of Appreciation from the Prime Minister.
In Shalimar Bagh, the Foundation worked with the Government of Delhi, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and the Department of Animal Husbandry to facilitate the vaccination and microchipping of over 3,500 community dogs. The programme received a Letter of Appreciation from the Chief Minister of Delhi.
The Foundation has also supported RWA-led anti-rabies awareness and free vaccination drives in Defence Colony, encouraging residents to participate in preventive healthcare efforts for community dogs.
Alongside these on-ground interventions, Zigly Foundation works to build awareness and mobilise community participation through several other initiatives. These include a nationwide canine blood donor directory with 212 registered donor dogs and six Wagathons held across Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chandigarh and Pune.
The Foundation has also conducted over 200 digital awareness campaigns covering themes such as summer water bowls, pet-safe Holi, winter care and senior pet adoption. Through its ‘Shop at Zigly, Vaccinate a Dog’ initiative, it connects consumer participation with funding for community dog vaccinations.
Looking ahead, Zigly Foundation plans to expand its feeding drives to more shelters and locations, including Noida and Gurugram. By continuing to collaborate with animal welfare organisations, mobilise volunteers and promote responsible animal care, the Foundation aims to strengthen its efforts towards ensuring community animals receive greater care, protection and support.
The feeding programme’s milestone of over 5,000 kg of food distributed underscores the Foundation’s ongoing work across feeding, healthcare, adoption advocacy and awareness, with further initiatives planned to reach more community and shelter dogs.
