Actress's Life Transformed by Rescued Black Cat

Actress Pratiksha Rai's deep empathy for animals, particularly those unable to speak for themselves, has guided her life's path. Her commitment escalated from individual rescues to simultaneously caring for 31 cats, a testament to her profound compassion. This devotion to animal welfare also influenced her personal choices, leading her to adopt a vegetarian diet approximately nine years ago. The catalyst for this intensified dedication was the rescue of a black cat named Matru, who became a cherished family member and whose subsequent illness and passing deeply affected Rai. Matru's loss marked a turning point, solidifying Rai's resolve to dedicate herself to rescuing, protecting, and loving more animals. She finds immense healing and solace in the presence of animals, stating they mend her in ways humans cannot, making her passion a lifelong commitment.
