We work to ensure and promote animal welfare.
We believe that all animals deserve to live a good life and experience good animal welfare. And we pay special attention to animals not thriving in human custody.
We strive to ensure that animals can lead better lives, are treated with respect and are given the opportunity to exhibit their natural behaviour.
The QATO Foundation is a non-profit and charitable organisation founded by Signe Kirk Kristiansen and Thomas Kirk Kristiansen in 2012.
We are often asked what QATO stands for in our name.
Qato is the name of the dog you see in the picture, and the foundation was established in his memory. He was a deeply loved and cherished family dog.
The QATO Foundation places special emphasis on being present where interactions between humans and animals lead to poor animal welfare.
