TFC Nepal

Independent, stubborn, and here for the animals.

TFC Nepal has never accepted government funding or foreign backing. Our work is powered entirely by community donors and a teashop in Lalitpur.

Chiya Sewa teashop, Lalitpur
The founder

The teashop that feeds a rescue.

For years, whatever Tula Ram earned from his small chiya (tea) shop went straight into medicine, food and treatment for the strays of Lalitpur. That model — modest, honest, and stubbornly independent — is still the backbone of TFC Nepal.

We deliberately do not chase government grants or large foreign donors. It keeps us small, accountable, and answerable only to the animals and the community we serve.

Mission

A safer street for every animal in the valley.

Rescue, treat, vaccinate and sterilize street dogs and cats across the Kathmandu Valley — while building lasting community awareness.

Vision

A Nepal with no rabies, no cruelty, and no stray suffering alone.

Long-term humane population control, universal rabies vaccination, and a generation of children who see animals as neighbours.

Milestones

A quiet decade of work.
