Founder, Milky Rescue Foundation
"Milky didn't just come into my home, he came into my heart and changed the way I see the world. This foundation is my promise to him, and to every stray who needs a voice."
It Started with Milky
When I brought Milky home, I didn't know a cat would change the way I saw the world. Something about caring for him lit a fire in me I started noticing every stray I passed differently. The ones without shelter, without anyone checking if they'd eaten that day. Milky gave them a face, in a way. He's the reason this all began.
Starting Small
So I started small. I began donating to organizations here in Pakistan that were already doing the work getting strays neutered and spayed, covering their treatment costs, helping get them rehomed with families who'd care for them. But my income was limited, and a lot of it went into the usual expenses and taxes we all deal with. I could only afford to sponsor a handful of cases at a time a few neuters here, a treatment there. It never felt like enough, but it was what I had, so I kept doing it.
Doing More
The more I gave, the more I wanted to give. I started feeding strays directly, sometimes paying someone locally just to make sure the animals near them had food and water, even when I couldn't be there myself. I'd go back to those same streets myself when I could, asking shopkeepers to keep an eye on them too. I was doing what I could from wherever I was, because the need never stopped, even when my resources did.
A Bigger Vision
Eventually, that quiet conviction inside me grew into something bigger than donations here and there. I wanted to build a real foundation something I could grow and watch with my own eyes, not just fund from a distance. A team that goes out and feeds strays properly, sets up water points, plants trees. People who treat their illnesses, who look out for vulnerable street animals too, who make sure no dog or cat wandering alone is left without food or water all under my own supervision, done right.
That's How Milky Rescue Foundation Was Born
This is my appeal to you. Join me. Help me bring these strays in, give them shelter, feed them, give them water, treat them when they're sick. Because this comes from two places at once it's something that stirs in a person naturally, and it's something our faith teaches us directly. Our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us this compassion, kindness, extended to humanity and to animals alike. That's all I'm asking you to extend with me.
