Emergency animal response in Nepal

Your support helps animals and communities affected by the recent catastrophic flood disaster

After the flood,
the dogs and cats in Nepal struggle to survive.

Some are still trapped in the mud and rubble, and just like their owners they lost everything in seconds.

Sadly, many have lost the families who loved them, and the place they used to call home.

ROLDA is supporting animal rescue work in the valleys hit by the catastrophic Himalayan flood that swept through Nepal and Tibet on August 26.

We are currently backing two local Nepalese animal rescue organisations who are already on the ground helping animals affected by this tragedy. We have agreed a protocol with the shelters, and emergency funding is being used to get food, water and urgent help to animals caught in this disaster.

But the crisis is far from over.

Every day more frightened dogs and cats are found in devastated communities, injured, hungry and alone. Roads are gone. Whole villages are gone. With nowhere safe to go, these animals depend on local rescuers who refuse to leave them behind. But without urgent support, many will never be reached in time.

Your support can help us reach more animals before it is too late.

Together, we can deliver emergency food and clean water, rescue frightened dogs and cats, provide urgent veterinary care for those injured and bring vulnerable animals to safety.

Every donation gives our rescue teams the resources they need to save lives when every minute matters.

Every passing hour can mean the difference between life and death for an injured animal waiting alone in the mud.

“Early this morning, our team went with Animal Nepal to Bidur, Nuwakot, one of the areas hit hardest by the flash floods. What we saw when we got there was heartbreaking. The floodwaters had washed away almost everything. Only a few concrete buildings were still standing, and thick mud covered the whole area. Talking to the local people, we learned that this area used to have a lot of poultry, pig, and fish farms, along with many pet and farm animals, but almost all of them were lost in the flood. We didn’t come across any stray or injured animals right away, but we did see a few dead livestock stuck in the mud, which could mean sanitation and disease problems down the road.” – Local NGO
