A review from Ed Batty – Thank you for your lovely words.
Another visit to this wonderful place. We arrived early enough to walk the dogs (which turned out to be an adventure – but that’s another story for another time). Then we were given a brilliant guided tour of the facility.
Over the years we have seen the Centre expand exponentially and still they struggle to cope with the demands of caring for the abandoned and ill-treated dogs and cats on the island. And to do it through donations, sponsorship but mainly hard work and dedication of volunteers willing to give their time and love amazes me every year. Few people deserve the tile of “Heroes” but these guys certainly do. I will be setting up a sponsorship soon because you all inspire.
Da iawn i chi gyd!
KAR Centre: Visitors review….
A warm welcome every time we visited – the staff & volunteers here are amazing – the love & care they give to the dogs & cats is wonderful & we just wanted to help in any small way we could. We loved walking the dogs & playing & cuddling the puppies – we highly recommend a visit here – we ended up coming back 8 times!

Chloe – KAR Star!!!!!
We all agree that educating the young is the key issue when trying to change behaviour towards the animals here in TRNC.
Well one young lady, who recently called into our office, is a credit to the youth of today here in the TRNC.
Chloe Marhoom (and her Mum) from Ozankoy called into the KAR office with a little gift. It was recently Chloe’s birthday – she was 9. She explained that she is “Addicted to Animals” and had been researching online about animals, in particular dogs and puppies, here (and elsewhere) and had come across our website. She said “she was amazed” at all of the things that KAR do to help the animals here and that she couldn’t wait to be in Year 7 at school as she had heard that her school have visits from our Education team and that Year 7 children go on organsed trips to the KAR Rescue center.
Then she explained that for her Birthday she had invited her friends to her party but that the invitations had been altered to say that she did not want birthday gifts – instead she wanted her friends to give her a cash donation to help KAR.
Chloe chatted with us for quite a while talking about cats and dogs and looking at some of our very many puppy photos
She then donated her birthday donations – an AMAZING 1100TL !!!!!
She seemed as proud and as happy to donate the money as were were to receive it.
Chloe and her friends have been so generous and we know that Chloe will pass on our massive THANK YOU to them – as she said ” the money will help you to keep helping animals ” It most certainly will Chloe – but it is the thoughtfulness of youngsters such as your self that will help us and the animals long into the future.

Results of the Art Exhibition… Thank you to everyone involved.
What a day – weeks in the planning and preparation culminated in the 1st ever KAR Art Exhibition and Sale. The Fez Catalkoy kindly provided the venue and it really set the scene.
Being the 1st time we had held such an event it was a little worrying – had we got it right ?, were the prices ok ?, would people come ? etc
Over 70 exhibits were on display – displayed beautifully in the Fez setting. All of the exhibits had been donated – and some of the artists were there on the day. The exhibits included original oils , local scenes, original batiks, prints, and so much more.
The exhibition was due to begin at 4pm but people began arriving at 3.20 ! The Fez quickly filled up with over 50 people chatting, sipping Prosecco Punch, nibbling on the very tasty canapes, looking at the Art works, talking to the artists and queuing to buy their chosen pieces. The whole ambience of the event was lovely – a quality event enjoyed by everyone.
.
KAR would like to thank everyone who came along on the day and supported us and also those who bought pieces. Thanks also to everyone who donated such lovely pieces and to the local artists who gave up their own works and time to came along. Thank you to The Fez for hosting the event and for the wonderful canapes they gave the guests.
Thank you to Jacky and Ingrid for your help on the day and in the days beforehand
Thank you to Patsy and Edina for all of their hard work in organising the whole event – you WERE/ARE truely Ab Fab.
We needn’t have worried – THEY got it right – it was a Fab event which raised a Fab amount of money………………….
