We are happy to share that all our animals are doing very well and continue to thrive. With plenty of grazing, enrichment, and daily interactions, everyone is enjoying the summer months. Our residents are always eager for affection and attention, and they make the most of every opportunity to seek out a scratch, a cuddle, or simply some company from their caregivers and visitors.

Last month, our cow Kaali experienced a problem with her right eye and appeared to have temporarily lost vision in it, which affected her mobility. Thankfully, with prompt veterinary attention and close monitoring, she has made a full recovery. We are delighted to see Kaali back to her happy, gentle self, moving around comfortably and enjoying her daily routine once again.

Meanwhile, Aashu - our inquisitive buffalo calf - is recovering from a minor hoof injury, most likely caused by being accidentally stepped on by one of the other animals. He is receiving treatment and plenty of rest, and his progress is being closely monitored. Despite the inconvenience, Aashu remains bright and cheerful, and we expect him to be back to his playful self very soon.

We were also delighted to welcome our 2026 batch of interns. These final-year veterinary students have begun their internship at the sanctuary, where they will gain valuable hands-on experience in equine welfare and management, as well as the care and welfare of our farm animals. Their presence brings a wonderful energy to the sanctuary, and our residents certainly appreciate the extra company!

Many of our animals absolutely adore human interaction, so having the interns with us means they receive even more one-to-one attention, grooming sessions, walks, cuddles, and enrichment. Whether it is the horses enjoying an extra grooming session, the cows seeking out head scratches, or the younger animals following the students around hoping for a treat or a bit of fuss, everyone benefits from the additional time and care. The interns not only learn from the animals, but the animals themselves thrive on the increased companionship and affection.

It is always rewarding to see these future veterinarians develop practical skills and deepen their understanding of compassionate, welfare-focused care. At the same time, our animals enjoy making new friends and being the best teachers they can be.

As always, we remain deeply grateful for your continued support.This partnership enables us to provide lifelong care, medical treatment, and a safe home for our rescued and retired working animals.

With the support of AAA, we look forward to continuing our work in the months ahead—improving the lives of animals already in our care, while advocating for better protection for working animals throughout Nepal.

We remain grateful for the heartfelt support and compassion of Animal Aid Abroad and their donors. Your generosity allows us to care for some of the most vulnerable animals at our sanctuary.
