"Humane Management of Street Dogs for the Benefit of the Community"
The Centre’s mission is to create a dog friendly, rabies-free, non-breeding street dog population through an Animal Birth Control (ABC) programme within the Kathmandu Valley. KAT uses humane and effective methods to control the stray dog population of the Kathmandu Valley. Our goal is to reduce the stray dog population by 50% and eliminate rabies through:
An animal birth control programme (sterilisation and vaccination against rabies);
Rescue services;
Public education programme.
OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN:
KAT was established in May 2004 and, in the first 3.5 years (January 08), 5,300 dogs have passed through the Animal Birth Control programme. In the same period, KAT has spayed an estimated 39% of the female dogs within the ‘ring road’ area of central Kathmandu, which has prevented an estimated 45,000 unwanted puppies being born. A further 1,211 sick and injured dogs have passed through the Rescue Treatment Programme in that time.
