Animals require an excessive amount of care and medical attention just like humans. And when it comes to blood transfusions, numerous people go blank during such a situation due to unavailability of a suitable animal donor. And to avoid the difficulties, 33-year-old Shiva Kumar from Hyderabad came up with a website called Animal Blood Line.
If you are a pet owner or an animal lover who takes care of the dogs and cats of your area, then Animal Blood Line can be your saviour. A muted soul might be in dire need of blood if it meets with an accident or even due to other reasons. And ABL helps connect it with animals who are ready to donate their blood.
If you are looking for a donor for your pet or any stray animal, the website will show all the registered animal donors near your area. Once you reach out to the animal donor, the vet needs to confirm if it's absolutely fit and fine for the transfusion.
While talking to The News Minute, Shiva said that ABL is a database of donors and not a blood bank by mentioning: “We do not handle the process of blood transfusion. We assist a pet parent only till the point of being able to contact a donor from the same city.”
If you want to get your pet registered, you must keep in mind that it must weigh minimum 15 kg and if it’s a female animal, it should not be pregnant lactating or going through any medical treatment. You cannot register your pet if it has received blood before.
The web portal was launched in June and we are sure that it is going to benefit numerous pet owners, animal lovers as well as activists and rescuers. We hope more such constructive things are developed for the muted souls to make this world a better place for them.
