KAT USA is a non-profit organization established to promote animal welfare in Nepal. We rescue, provide animal birth control and vaccinations, and run education and awareness programs for the benefit of street animals in Kathmandu and beyond.    As a structured NGO, we can address animal welfare issues directly. Being more than a shelter, we also provide a variety of services, at a reduced cost, by donation or free. Our services are open primarily to those in the Kathmandu and Budhanilkantha Municipality.  KAT USA receives no federal funding and is entirely funded by grants and private donations.
