Rabab and Fayrouz Zaidi have, however, been working with street dogs since 2009 feeding Sweety and taking care of her tick fever in Bapanagar, New Delhi. Then moving to Pandara Park, and Motilal Nehru Marg, the tribe grew with Kallu, Minnie, Reena, and Calypso. Read more...
Now in Noida, Delhi and Gurgaon, and they have approximately forty-two dogs under their care. They take care of feeding, deworming, vaccination, neutering, medical issues, and general overseeing. The senior most, Reena, Chumki, and Chulbul are at home with Rabab.
As much as possible, she tries to keep the street pets warm in the winter with houses, blankets, mattresses, and fresh water in the summer.
Qitmeer's Blessings (QB) also spreads awareness about compassion, and makes efforts to deepen the love and understanding between humans and animals with concepts of oneness, space sharing, similar emotional needs, right to food, water, shade, and thereby propogating peaceful co-existence.
QB has rescued more than twenty-five dogs who needed to be off the streets for medical and social/safety reasons. Aditya and Rabab rescued Sweety the mother and her three one day old puppies. Most are housed in proper pet boardings, and the senior ones in Rabab's home. Chulbul, twelve, Chumki thirteen, and Reena, fourteen plus live with Rabab in her home. As of today, about 11 are in a homely boarding in Greater Noida, and a rescued puppy in Gurgaon. The remaining Noida ones are on or around her street. About nine are in Pushp Vihar, New Delhi who are fed daily, and treated as and when the need arises.
Our prime aim is to help our street pets settle in a pleasant sanctuary where they will be safe from the challenges of street life. This will be especially helpful as they surely but slowly approach their senior years with compromised hearing, eyesight, movement, and need for close medical monitoring.
We do wish to collaborate and set up a comprehensive hospital for small animals in Noida which will be of benefit to pet parents and animals in surrounding areas where facilities are either absent or inadequate.
We envisage adoption drives to find loving homes for rescued puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. With experience, however, it is quite a daunting task especially when adoption involves adult animals. Rabab has been successful in getting some of her puppies adopted by caring families, but with some she has not been so lucky , and has kept them in boardings.
Qitmeers blessings advocates for animal rights through their dedicated service to all fur babies. It is a true haven for streeties. Rabab a shout out to you for your selfless dedication, love & compassion for the voiceless & homeless.
In all the years of having known Homa Rabab Zaidi , what remains as an even constant about this incredible woman is her unwavering compassion for animals - her selfless dedication and devotion to the cause of strays is commendable !!
I am truly grateful for the incredible work our neighbor, Zaidi Aunty, does in rescuing stray dogs. Her dedication and compassion for these animals are unmatched. Every day, she goes above and beyond to ensure these dogs find safety, love, and a forever home. Whether it's providing medical care, offering food, or simply showering them with affection, Zaidi Aunty has made a profound impact on the lives of so many abandoned dogs. Her heart is as big as her efforts, and she continues to inspire the entire community with her selflessness. I am proud to know her and witness the amazing difference she is making in the lives of these animals.
99% of people look away when they see an animal in distress. Rabab Aunty doesn’t know how to. She instead moves mountains for her rescues. From bringing them home, to hand-feeding them, changing their diapers every few hours, to sitting in the car for 4-6 hours everyday for their treatment, she’s done it all— with a smile on her face! The world needs more and Rabab Aunties and if animals could talk, they would be singing in a chorus and exclaiming their love and gratitude! 💗
Rabab is a dear friend, and she devotes her time nursing dogs back to health, working towards getting dogs /puppies adopted by loving families. She is very dedicated and invests time, energy, and resources in to caring for street dogs. I admire her for being so patient, selfless and compassionate.
