Everyone these days has a camera to hand on their phones. It is easy to take a picture that can mean so many words. We would like you to take that special photo of dogs/puppies or cats/kittens on the streets of the North Cyprus. You will not only be judged on the quality of the photograph but also what the subject depicts.
As well as winning a lovely prize the winning photograph in each category will be used as part of the 2020 Calendar.
The theme for the competition is ‘Life on North Cyprus Streets’, it is up to you how you interpret it. As long as your photographs capture the essence of ‘Life on North Cyprus Streets’ then you are in with a chance.
This competition is not a fundraising event it is to raise awareness of the life of the dogs and cats that live in love and harmony side by side with the local community on the streets of the TRNC.
There are many dogs and cats to photograph so get your phones out now.

Wow! Wow! Thank you to Jon and Bob….. an astounding amount 1311TL for the month of June.




We have been on a bit of a downer at KAR recently, but we have picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves down and as always Kept Calm and Carried On Caring. This has been helped by the wonderful support that we have within the community – both here and abroad. Last night saw how that support helps.
We held a Tenables Night at The Fez in Catalkoy. We have never done it before and did not know how it would “pan out”. The Fun Four ( Karen, Kim, Bob and Terry) had been working hard at putting everything together – hoping for a good night for both KAR and th participants,
Well it was a smash !!! Loads of people turned up and showed their support (not just in donation form) for KAR. The whole of The Fez buzzed with support for what we do here in TRNC.
The Fez did KAR proud (not that there was ever any doubt) with a delicious Menu and a special meal deal ( with part of the money being donated to KAR).
The Tenables Quiz was enjoyed along with a Surprise Raffle and a few games of Card Bingo. Even those who usually think/say ” NOT BINGO “! once they started the games really enjoyed it – so much so that “Just 1 More – another 1” was heard at the end of the games.
In between and after the games Terry entertained everyone with his lovely voice – there were balads, motown and good old sing a longs.
It was a fantastic evening and everyone enjoyed themselves.
To top it all off a FANTASTIC 2980TL (including a 300TL donation from The Fez) and £120 was raised to help KAR help the cats and dogs.
Thank you everyone who came along and helped raise the money , thank you to The Fez and their staff who worked so hard at keeping everyone fed and watered.
Team KAR – you did it again !



4pm on Thursday 1st August. Invitations 50TL. Karakum Office, The Fez, Lambousa (Saturdays).

A very BIG Thank you from all of the KAR cats and dogs to Slimming World Catalkoy – they have raised a fantastic 2300TL for KAR. Their support is so very much appreciated and the money is so needed – especially now that the summer heat has hit. Many people maybe do not realise that the center is not on mains water – every drop that we use (for cleaning, animal drinking etc) has to come up in tankers – what a lot it costs us every couple of days !
Thank you slimmers – your loss is KAR’s gain.

We are excited to announce our very 1st Art Exhibition. Please come and support us at The Fez, Catalkoy on Thursday 1st August at 4pm. Invitation only, available from the Karakum Office or Lambousa Market on a Saturday.
