KAT is an NGO registered in India and run by a team of animal lovers. We have been providing medical care to Rishikesh street animals since 2014, and running a spay/neuter program since 2016. Sterilizing street dogs is our central focus because it is the most effective way to improve the quality of their lives. Along with that, we rescue & treat dogs, cats, cows, and other animals, daily feed 300+ street dogs, run vaccination drives, and re-home rescued dogs locally and abroad. In our work we cover 5 large areas of Rishikesh: Laxman Jhula, Ram Jhula, Tapovan, Kailash Gate, Shisham Jhari. Over the years, hundreds of street animals have been rescued and treated. The vast majority of female street dogs have been sterilized. Many dogs have found loving homes, in India & abroad. We work year-round with local government vets, and we also invite foreign vets and vet nurses from abroad. Our goal is to make Rishikesh a safe and friendly place for animals, and to raise awareness about animal welfare.
