Volunteer at
KAT Centre Nepal
KAT Nepal depends greatly on volunteers who donate their time and talent to help the animals. Without volunteers, we could not accomplish or advance our mission. Improving the welfare of animals is a big job. But every little thing you do to help solve the problems of overpopulation, cruelty, neglect, and irresponsible pet ownership counts.
The KAT Nepal Volunteer Program will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you are making a difference in the lives of all animals. We couldn’t conduct all the hands-on work that we do at KAT Center without the aid of a fantastic group of volunteers!
There are multiple opportunities to support KAT Centre Nepal through volunteering.
For Nepale supporters:
- Local Volunteer
- Veterinary Volunteer
- BSW & Social Science Volunteer
- Group / Club Volunteer
For international supporters:
- Escort Flight Volunteer
- International Volunteer Program
- Spend a Day with KAT
