Out of quarantine and into foster care. These are two females of a litter of 4. (The other 2 are at the centre). 12 weeks old, fully vaccinated and will be neutered. Estimated to be fully grown (small breed mother). If you can offer them a home please call or email the office 0533 869 4098 or kartrnc@gmail.com (They are old enough to start travel prep).
Thank you!!!! To the anonymous donator at last Saturday’s Lambousa Market who gave £100 via our Book Stall. It means so much and helps so many.
TFIF!!!! Its Friday and this is very special…… We had lots of interest in our LucyLoo, last Saturday she made her way to her new furever home, with the wonderful Karen and Mick Wells (who adopted Poppy last year, and fostered Kylie). She settled into her new busy life with the upmost ease, made a new best friend Patch within the hour!!! We had a message on Sunday that she had even gone into the pool for her first swimming lesson. Thank you AGAIN Karen and Mick, enjoy your new and very happy life LucyLoo. Please consider one of puppies or older dogs if you are looking to rescue.
We received this message last night….
We walked Beau and Lucy on Monday, and thought they were both gorgeous, so went back today before we fly home. We loved spending time with the dogs and having a look around the centre finding out how it all works and what everyone does.
Lucy and Beau are both amazing dogs, Beau especially has such a loving, gentle nature that we have decided to sponsor him 
Please visit the Centre, walk a dog and then sponsor him/her. £10 per month, make a difference.

We are still counting and donations are still coming in….. BUT a HUGE THANK YOU!!! to all our Sponsors, Donators, Entrants, Volunteers and KAR Executive Committee.
The Cat Catchers have just delivered the donations from the public for the month of April. 1150TL, thank you to all who donated towards the cat neutering scheme.
Mira makes her move.
Mira is one of our older residents – she came into KAR in October 2010 as a puppy. She had been living happily, with her friends, in Doggy Avenue and we often wondered why she was overlooked when it came to Doggy Ave residents being chosen for new homes.
But we knew that Mira was happy with us – she had regular walks, had one on one time with staff and volunteers and was happy with her kennel friends. But we wanted more for Mira – the same as do for all of our cats and dogs.
We love them and care for them while they are with us but we want them all to have a “fur ever” home of their own.
Recently a couple Carole and John Davies had been talking to KAR about adopting a dog. They came to the Rescue Centre to have a look around and to meet some of the dogs. They met Mira – They walked Mira – They fussed Mira -They liked Mira and in turn Mira liked them!
They adopted Mira and it was not long before she was on her way to her new “fur ever” home in Karisiyaka.
Carol and John have been in touch with us very recently to say that Mira has settled in really well and is adjusting to her life with them. They are delighted with her. No doubt Mira is delighted with them too and her new home.
Mira is a very good example of how older dogs who have been with us for a long time settle well into new homes with new families. We often hear, bandied about, that dogs who have been with us a long time will not be homed because they are “institutionalized” and won’t adjust.
Mira and her older friends disagree – they just need to be given a chance.
Many happy day wishes for Mira and a special thank you to Carol and John, for homing an older dog, and everyone else who homes any cat or dog from KAR – you have made a difference.
We often follow the news of Slimmers World who meet at Sartaj Restaurant in Catalkoy and on Saturday 20th April, their weekly meeting included their Grand Easter Raffle.
As well as donations by local businesses, the ladies had been collecting items for the raffle during the past weeks and they managed to put together a brilliant array of nice prizes, including many bottles of wine and spirits, hampers, a lead crystal vase, a meal for 2 at Sartaj and many others.
l-r : Val Stuart-Traynor, Susan Holbrook, Kate Bell
Any proceeds from their weekly meetings are donated to Kyrenia Animal Rescue (KAR) and Hope 4 Pets, two very worthy charities to help the street animals of North Cyprus.
Val Stuart-Traynor told us that they raised 1310TL for KAR from the raffle and 723TL for Hope 4 Pets from members’ weight losses and forfeits.
The group meets at Sartaj Restaurant in Catalkoy every Saturday at 10am. They now have 23 members. If you would like to join the group, not only for weight loss but also to meet with others and make friends, please contact Val on 0542 855 1219.
