Shared cow adoption
Adopt a real cow for $6.99/month.
Be part of her care, be part of her abundance.
Choose one or more real cows or bulls to support, and follow their lives through weekly updates in the GOPA app.
How adoption works
Four simple steps. A living bond begins.
- 01
Choose a cow or bull.
Browse the cows and bulls in the GOPA app, and choose the one whose photograph finds you.
- 02
Begin a monthly gift.
Adoption is $6.99/month per cow or bull. At least 80% of net proceeds goes directly to goshalas. The rest sustains GOPA — the app, the team, and the work that makes shared adoption of cows and bulls possible.
- 03
Follow their care.
Receive weekly photographs, videos, health notes, and small updates from the caretakers in the GOPA app.
- 04
Visit, when you are ready.
Many goshalas welcome Guardians. Some Guardians have even traveled across the world to meet the cow or bull they support.

Gopa
Mission
To live in a world where every cow and bull has a well-wishing Guardian — someone who knows their name, follows their life, and cares for their well-being.
How
Through the GOPA app, we connect cows and bulls in need of protection with compassionate people around the world, creating a global circle of Guardians devoted to their care.
Vision
A world where the emotional bond between humans and cows and bulls is restored.
Values — DRUT
From Sanskrit द्रुत (druta) — swift, flowing, with momentum.
Devoted. To every cow, to every bull — until all live free from harm.
Respectful. We see every being as a soul — and we serve those who walk this path with us, in thought, word, and action.
United. Every Guardian, every caretaker, every goshala, every cow and bull — held in one circle. The joy of one is the joy of all.
Truthful. We meet every person and every situation openly. We face hard truths, speak to them, and act on them.
The Circle
Gopa is built by a circle.

For goshalas
For the goshalas that protect cows and bulls for life.
If you run a goshala — anywhere in the world — and are open to a GOPA partnership, we would be honoured to learn about your work. A partnership can provide recurring Guardian funding, weekly content tools for your caretakers, and full financial transparency.
