About Us

Praana Animal    Foundation

about-us

The concept of Praana is for ‘life’ – an existence, a journey. It is the ‘soul’ – the vital force that lives. It is also the ‘breath’ – the force that moves. It is the energy that drives life.

In a vast, complex ecosystem, it is our ‘Praana’ that keeps us alive and rooted. The concept of Praana is fundamental, yet pivotal.

  • It teaches us to love,
  • It teaches us to protect,
  • It teaches us to nurture.

We are The Praana Animal Foundation. We believe every being is entitled to a life of dignity.

Ambulance   Service

At Praana CRAC, we understand that not every rescue or adoption is easy — that’s why we offer a dedicated ambulance service for cats in need. Whether it’s rescuing an injured stray, helping with emergency care, or delivering a newly adopted feline to their forever home, our ambulance ensures your cat travels in comfort and safety.

Equipped with trained handlers and clean, secure transport facilities, our service bridges the gap between rescue and recovery, or shelter and new beginnings.
