Our canine residents

Although the KAT Centre is not a ’dog-shelter’ we do have some very special house dogs.

Mango
Mango was spotted in an appalling state by our founder, Jan. He was outside her home at the time KAT was under construction and is now our proud mascot.

Sita
Sita is quiet, content to laze about in the sun and nap during the day. However, she becomes increasingly vigilant as the evening turns to night and acts as a perfect guard dog. Although originally brought in for sterilisation, Sita was kept back for treatment for a gangrenous tail. She had to undergo two operations and took three months to heal.

Jango
Someone rang us late in the evening (which is not unusual considering the emergency rescue calls we get these days) to inform us that a big "jango" dog was crying in pain. When we reached the spot we found this big so called jango dog, was a Tibetan Mastiff; dehydrated and sitting in the corner. He obviously belonged to someone who we though may have shamelessly left him in the street without treating him. He is a big dog. Jango has been diagnosed ‘radial paralysis’ which cannot be cured. Although, he cannot use one of his fore legs he is very mobile and is a very friendly dog. We could not resist keeping him here as a new friend. Incidentally, it is quite amazing to see him running with 3 legs.
