Mars Petcare and Swiggy Instamart have jointly extended their Paw Protecc Initiative, a campaign dedicated to providing much-needed shelters for community animals during harsh winter conditions. Over 200 temporary shelters were strategically placed in Delhi NCR and Indore, aiding individual caregivers and NGOs in their mission to protect street animals.
The initiative, initially launched to provide relief during the monsoon season, has become a vital resource for street animals facing extreme weather. In addition to safeguarding animals from winter temperatures, it offers protection from pollution-related health risks, ensuring their well-being and comfort.
This collaborative effort with NGOs like Friendicoes SECA strengthens the initiative's sustainability. Mars Petcare's Managing Director, Salil Murthy, underscores their dedication to caring for community animals, highlighting the broader mission to create a more pet-friendly world, fortified by their BETTER CITIES FOR PETS™ program.
