Hi (runs away and stays a bit far) Okay, I’ll talk from a distance. I’m timid and shy, so you might not even notice me unless you’re really looking for me. I usually curl up in corners, keeping to myself, but these days, I find comfort in the company of Julie. She brings me peace and doesn’t ask for much more than just being there together.

Back on April 18, 2024, when I was rescued, I was in a lot of pain. I had a large wound on my jaw that was infested with maggots. The pain was unbearable, and it took away my ability to eat or sleep. Every moment felt like agony. I was terrified of humans, their presence only deepening my fear. I had taken refuge in a kind person’s home in Kalanki, but the smell from my wounds was overwhelming. I didn’t know how to help myself, but thankfully, Sneha’s Care came to my rescue.

Now, my wounds have healed, but I’ve lost a part of my mouth. While that may seem like a lot to lose, my heart is slowly filling up with the love and care I never thought I’d experience. I’m still shy, but I am learning to trust again, one day at a time.
