How do we control community dog population?
The only answer is humane dog population control by sterilization programs.
What is sterilization program?
Sterilization programs is a surgical procedure (spaying and neutering) in which a part of animalโs reproductive organ is removed to permanently stop it from reproducing. Spaying refers to surgical removal of ovary and uterus of female Dog/Cat and neutering refers to a surgical removal of testicles of male dogs. These are surgical procedure which should be performed by a licensed veterinarian under strict sterile conditions with the animal under general anaesthesia. The minimum age for sterilization in dogs is 6 months and in cats it is 4 months.
Benefits of sterilization
There are many benefits of sterilization such as
โข Sterilization prevents unnecessary breeding and reduces the number of unwanted animals.
โข Sterilization reduces the risk of certain cancers (mammary gland tumours, ovarian and uterine cancers) and womb infections (pyometra) in the female. Castration reduces the risk of testicular cancer in male dogs/ cats, and incidence of prostate disease in male dogs.
โข Heat cycles will stop in sterilized females and so males will not be attracted resulting in decreased aggression and roaming tendencies in male.
โข During sterilization dogs are vaccinated against rabies.so decreases the risk of Rabies infection in both Dogs and Human. Dogs are the main source of human rabies deaths, contributing up to 99% of all rabies transmissions to humans.
Recently we conducted a spay neuter camp in Godawari municipality ward no 8 and 9 where we successfully sterilized 315 dogs and vaccinated 400 dogs/ cats against rabies.
Thank you everyone for the support and help, together we can change the life of our furry friends.
Story of Jumbo ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
Jumbo is very friendly and energetic puppy, as every puppy she loves to play and run. Unfortunately, she had an accident while playing. The wound was very small in the beginning so everyone ignored and didnโt get any medical help. Later the wound was infected. A community person noticed Jumbo's suffering and informed us.
We went to rescue Jumbo but it was very late, Jumbo was already abandoned by the owner and was roaming here and there in immense pain. We rescued jumbo and take her to our clinic where she was examined by our vet.
To prevent further damage due to infection and to relieve from pain jumbo underwent amputation. The surgery was very complex and painful, but to our surprise jumbo made a quick recovery within no time. Jumbo was back to normal, playing and jumping as if everything is normal.
Thanks to god Jumbo was adopted by the same person who contacted us for the rescue.
Jumbo is just an example, there are many other dogs who lives on streets and have to suffer a lot. They always struggle for food, shelter, weather, diseases, because of Road accident only many have to go through a lot, some lose limbs while some have to lose their life. letโs come together and create a community where everyone can live in a harmonious environment.
Drive responsibly, live and let live๐๐#KATcentre #roadsafety #love
CTVT unit Kat Centre
We are very happy to announce that our CTVT unit is functional now. We would like to thank our generous donors and supporters for trusting on us and supporting us and it wouldnโt have been possible without you all. โThank you all for your donation and support, your generosity means everything to us and the animals we serveโโ
CTVT (Canine transmissible Venereal Tumor) is a major health issue in street dogs, CTVT is a naturally occurring neoplasia affecting dogs worldwide. CTVT is present in external genitalia of male and female Dogs. Transmission occurs through coitus with a CTVTโaffected dog or through licking, biting, sniffing, or scratching the tumorโaffected areas and because of this it is more common in free roaming community dogs. Signs of CTVT includes tumorous/ cauliflower like growth in genital organs, blood/blood mix discharge from the prepuce, nasal fistulae, nosebleeds and other nasal discharge, facial swelling etc.
The only treatment available is chemotherapy once a week and this should be done strictly under supervision of veterinary personnel.
CTVT infected dogs has to bear a lot of physical pain because of tumor and emotional pain as the dogs are chased by people because of the appearance and discharge.
Now finally we have managed to establish a separate facility where we provide treatment exclusively for CTVT infected Dogs only. On the basis of request from community people we make a list of CTVT infected dogs and rescue them on a batch every week. The dogs undergo routine health check up and vaccination before they receive chemo which is done strictly under the supervision of a Veterinary Doctor.

Dog fight and maggot wound .
Seru was a community dog from Swyambhu, one day he was attacked by another community dog.
He was wounded and was hiding. He didnโt get any help in time because of which his wound got infected. The infected wound attracts flies which lay eggs and later these eggs develop into flesh eating maggots.
Seru was being eaten by thousands of flesh eating maggots. A kind animal loverJabi Shrestha informed us about Seru and our rescue team went to the location and brought Seru to our Clinic.
In KAT Seru was treated by our dedicated team, cleaned his wound, give pain medication, anti-biotics and remove his maggots. Now Seru is recovering in KAT.
Dudu was a community cat, usually he was good at crossing road but one day he was not so lucky and was runover by a motorbike. Dudu was lying in streets with full of blood and pain, but the motorbike rider wasnโt bothered and left as if nothing has happened.
A lady came to rescue Dudu, she asked for help but didnโt get help, so she took Cat with her in home.
Our team went to rescue the DUDU other day and was brought to our clinic. Both of his fore limbs are fractured and were already infected. Our Vet team handled the case very well and DUDU made a quick recovery. Dudu is released and is now adopted by the same person who rescued him.
Everyone is not as lucky as DUDU so please Drive carefully.
Every life matters. ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฑ

A short Rescue Video:
Case: Hit and run case
Location: Kalimati
URGENT APPEAL๐: Due to the higher than normal rain and humidity this year, we have seen an explosion in the number of dogs infested with ticks and fleas. We need you support to treat as many dogs (& cats) as possible (we are aiming for 1,000), before these bugs cause widespread skin disease in the coming months. ๐พโค๏ธ Every donation counts, as we can treat an affected dog for less than $2USD.

The Heartbreaking Impact of Rabies:
Case: Rabies virus and human death
Location: ward no. 6, Hariyali Vasti, Tokha Municipal
Recently, a young 21 years old lady passed away due to a rabies virus infection in Hariyali Basti, ward no. 6, Tokha Municipal. A small street puppy had bitten her finger while she lifted the puppy from the water to the safer place. She ignored the bite to get the anti-rabies vaccination. The neighbors from the community said that she was always feeding and carrying the street dogs.
She showed up symptoms after 45 days like angriness, fever, headache, and difficulty drinking water and swallowing food. She was taken to the hospital, but it was already too late. Sadly, she passed away.
The KAT Clinic has done blanket anti-rabies vaccination to the community dogs of the same area in coordination with the local community. We have briefed about dog bites, Rabies, and its impact on the community people as well. This vaccination and awareness program has made little relaxed and safe for the community.
We could not take any interviews with the family members due to deep trauma and saddened moments to them. The KAT Family prays for the departed soul for peace and to give power to the family member to endure this tragic incident.
Let's not hesitate or be late for the anti-rabies vaccination as soon as the dog bites you. Rabies is a vaccine-preventable, zoonotic, viral disease. Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is virtually a hundred percent fatal.
