Animals in desperate need in Nepal

Animals throughout the nation are injured and starving and in desperate need of health. Several organisations are trying to help provide medical care and gather supplies. Here are some of them: KAT Centre The Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre has been working to spay and neuter dogs and cats in Kathmandu, Nepal in order to try and manage the very large populations. According to them, there are more than 22,500 street dogs, many of whom have severe skin problems or rabies. They are currently sending out mobile medical teams and parts of their building walls have collapsed. They are trying to cover the walls, while they remain without access to power and water. They have set up an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for the animals they are helping. World Animal Protection The World Animal Protection’s Disaster Relief Fund is an international NGO that is raising funds for Nepal in order to provide treatment and care, reach suffering animals and provide further disaster preparedness. You can donate online, by mail or phone (1-800-883-9772, option 2). Humane Society International The Humane Society International’s Disaster Relief Fund supports animals affected by natural disasters. They raise money to rescue and provide temporary animal shelter, rent and equip shelter and rescue vehicles, help reunite animals with their families and more.
