Nowzad Team Makes Significant Impact on World Spay Day 2025
In a powerful display of dedication to animal welfare, Nowzad’s team of seven skilled veterinarians made a significant contribution to the 2025 World Spay Day. On February 25th, our team successfully spayed/neutered an amazing 32 cats and 41 dogs, while also providing vital rabies vaccinations to help reduce disease incidence and transmission to humans.
World Spay Day, an international annual campaign, focuses on the importance of Capture-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release (CNVR also know as TNVR) programmes across the world to combat animal overpopulation. Nowzad's participation highlights our charity‘s ongoing commitment to humane animal population control and public health.
As our incredible Chief Vet at Nowzad’s Animal Hospital Dr Reshad said "Our team worked tirelessly and late into the night to provide these essential services. Spaying/neutering is not only crucial for reducing the number of stray animals, but also for improving the overall health and well-being of those animals. Plus, the rabies vaccinations we give to every animal passing through our doors play a key role in preventing the spread of this deadly disease – I have sadly seen for myself the devastating way rabies attacks a body and the impact of losing a child to the disease as my friend and neighbour went through it. I have made it my life to fight against rabies and am so grateful for all the support from Nowzad”.
The impact of Nowzad's efforts extends beyond the individual animals treated. By controlling the population of street animals, we are also helping to reduce the strain on local resources and contributing to a safer and healthier environment for Kabul.
As long as these issues exist in Afghanistan, Nowzad remains dedicated to its mission of providing care and support to animals in need.
