URGENT advice PLEASE re cat rescues in Kathmandu, Nepal

[Guest guest]

There are a number of options. If the cat is found in Kathmandu district it

can be taken to Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre (www.katcentre.org.np) in

Buddhilnakant, or to SPCA Nepal, close to Pashupati (www.spcanepal.org.np)

 

If it is found in Lalitpur district Animal Nepal can help. We rehabilitate

sick or injured stray dogs and cats in volunteers' homes. We are overloaded

at the moment but we can help in finding adoptive parents after the cat has

recovered.

 

One suggetion: not many vets are able to treat cats in Nepal. Pls contact

staff of animal welfare orgs to ask for advice!
