If you already feed and look after the animals in your colony, the card is a document that says so, useful when a resident association or a guard asks what you are doing.

Colony caregiver

The card.

Feeding community dogs is lawful. The ABC Rules 2023 recognise caregivers, and the courts have held that a resident association cannot stop it.

The card is a document you can show when that is disputed. It is not a permit, and it does not give PFA any authority over your colony: it records that PFA knows who you are and what you do.

The card is issued free. The only charge is ₹50, for postage, to send the printed card to you.

The card is free. The ₹50 is for postage only, to send the printed card to you; it is not payment for a card, and it gives the application a number you can track it with. The card is not issued on the spot: a named person at PFA reads every application and decides. Every application appears in PFA's admin record under Caregiver Cards.
