KAT Centre ‘Humane Management of Street Dogs for Community Benefit’

Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal

The population is 1.2 million people…

…and 22,500 street dogs.

The Aims of KAT Reduce animal suffering. Protect the human population.

How? Animal Birth Control (ABC) program:

sterilization and rabies vaccinations Rescue & Treatment program: for sick and

injured street dogs and cats Public Education program: for adults and

children

Poisoning of Dogs Strychnine poison was periodically spread around the

city killing over 10,000 dogs each year. This is a horrific way to die. It is dangerous for the environment as well as for

people and their pets. Piles of decomposed carcasses are dumped into rivers

leading to foul life-threatening water pollution. But the city has agreed to stop poisoning dogs in

the areas where KAT works.

And the puppies…

All puppies from nursing females are also brought to the Centre

… are brought in too!!

The puppies stay with their mothers.

Operation Theatre

All dogs receive an identifying ear notch. Mature dogs get a red collar.

The Results

Since it opened in 2004, the KAT Centre has sterilized and vaccinated over 14,000 street dogs.

More than 4,000 of these dogs were injured or sick and were rescued by KAT.

The KAT Centre’s Education program is changing how the people of Kathmandu think of street dogs.
