KAR – 25 YEAR ANNIVERSARY LUNCH AT LORDS PALACE

Posted on by KAR
This year Kyrenia Animal Rescue is celebrating 25 years of helping the street and stray animals in the TRNC. It was way back in 1997 when we first started on a very much smaller scale than we are today, but more of that soon.
One of the many events we have planned was a lunch held at Lords Palace on 1 June. Tickets sold out before the event and people who attended commented on what a fabulous lunch it was. We would like to thank Lords Palace for their food, service and hospitality and for everyone who attended the event and helped to raise over 4,500 TL. Below is a picture of the wonderful raffle prizes.
THANK YOU EVERYONE

PRESSIE TIME AT THE CENTRE

Posted on by KAR
It was fabulous to see Jo and David Cutts recently at the rescue centre. They adopted Karrie (was Karamel) not too long ago and we’ve all loved hearing about and seeing the family adventures in the UK.
What made the visit even more special was the suitcase full of goodies they brought with them. Thank you so much Jo and David. It was just like Christmas (but in May).
If you have a little room in your suitcase and would like to bring a donation over for us please contact our office on kartrnc@gmail.com and we can send you a copy of our “Wish List”. Thank you

Is was with great sadness we learned of the recent passing of our long term supporter Ian Brodie. We would like to send our sincere condolences to Ian’s family and friends at this very sad time.
A collection has been made in memory of Ian by his friends and family and a generous donation was received by KAR. We would like to thank you all for thinking of us. RIP Ian.

CRUNCHY

Posted on by KAR
Today it is Crunchy’s turn to appeal for a forever home.
Crunchy is one of our older dogs, he’s now about 8 years old and he has been at our rescue centre far too long. He’s a lively, friendly boy and as you can see, he is very affectionate.
He gets on well with other dogs and would just love a home to call his own. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Crunchy could live out his senior years with someone to care for him?
If you think that person could be you, then please come up to the centre to meet him. Visiting hours are 9am to 1pm every day. Please share for Crunchy!

GERRY

This handsome young man is Gerry.
He was one of a litter of 8 dumped at our rescue centre and he is now coming up to 1 year old. Five of his siblings have been lucky and found homes but sadly Gerry and 2 others in the litter have been left behind.
Gerry is a very friendly boy, likes his walks and also loves cuddles. Can you offer him a home? It would be wonderful if you could.
As with all our adult dogs Gerry is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you are interested, then please come to the centre and meet him – we are open every day between 9am and 1pm. Please share for Gerry – thank you!

It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of our long time supporter Tom Gaskin and would like to send our sincere condolences to his family and friends. His funeral was held at Lapta Cemetery last Friday where a collection was taken for KAR. We would like to thank everyone for their generosity. The funds collected will go towards the care of our 300+ animals in our Rescue Centre. Thank You. RIP Tom

LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR OUR HOUSE AND HOME CHARITY SHOP, KYRENIA TOWN CENTRE

Posted on by KAR
We are very lucky to have 3 charity shops in which to sell your wonderful donations. Unfortunately our busy House and Home charity shop (behind the fire station in the centre of town) is very close to having to close as we only have 1 volunteer in there at any one time with no cover for sickness and holidays.
If you have just 3 hours to spare on a regular basis on either a Monday, Wednesday or Saturday morning and you would like to do something to help the cats and dogs in our care, without actually working at the Rescue Centre, then maybe helping in our House and Home shop could be for you.
Please contact our shop supervisor Gwen on 0533 868 9497 to find out more.

RALPH

Posted on by KAR
Ralph the Wirehaired Hungarian Vizla arrived recently from the UK. His had not been the easiest of travel planning (for one reason and another – totally outside of our control) and his owners were anxiously waiting for him – just wanting to hear that he was finally “in the TRNC”.
As with all of our travelling pets we try and keep the owners updated as to their pets journey as we know how anxious about it they all are. Most care more about their pets travel than their own.
So it was with much happiness that his owners heard the news that Ralph had cleared his customs and government vet checks and was on his way home to them.
His arrival was quite emotional – the family had been through a difficult time with Ralph’s travel plans (totally outside of our control – but back on plan with our help) and they were absolutely delighted to have him home.
A few days after his arrival Stephen contacted us to say that Ralph was settling well and had , in his excitement to be back with them, jumped into the fish pond !
Who would have been the most surprised we wonder – the fish or Ralph !!!
Happy TRNC Days Ralph x
