Thank YOU Jenny – for giving her the chance of a special home of her very own.

It is a KAR policy that our cats and dogs are adopted by loving caring families before they even begin their travel prep. During their travel prep (approx 4 months) we are in touch with their new family giving them updates, about their cat/dog, and keeping them in the “loop” so to speak.

If you are interested in “adopting” any of our dogs/cats please contact us on kartrnc@gmail.com.

We recently received the following from Lisa and wanted to share it with you all as many of you had been following Handan’s Tale.

” Hi Kim,

I thought I’d give you another update!

Our groomer came yesterday and Handan just had a bath and some fuss and was a very good girl! She’s really fancying herself now she’s all poofy and has her special Christmas bow.

I am amazed that she mastered toilet training within 24 hours and just got into a routine straight away. I’d like to say that it’s my amazing dog skills but actually she just seemed to twig what my other two dogs were doing and that was it! She’s great with other dogs on her walks and doesn’t react to any yapping ones we pass. She’s a champion napper too as you’ll see from the pictures and so snuggly. It’s all been far easier than I was expecting.

Before Handan came my husband and I were really struggling with grief after losing our dog Keo earlier in the year. The tumour took her so quickly and so young at 9 and we were so shocked and sad. We got Handan in honour of Keo and because something positive needed to come out of something so awful. I thought it would be very unfair to put the expectation on Handan to “mend our broken hearts”, but I have to say that she is doing it anyway and I’m convinced that you actually sent us a little Christmas angel in disguise. She is really living up to her name and has brought us real Joy. We’ll never forget Keo but Handan is absolutely magic and we adore her.

I’ll check in again in the new year. We’re taking her to a cottage by the sea in Norfolk in February so I’ll hopefully send you some pictures of her running on the beach with those big long legs

Have a lovely Christmas,

Lots of love from

Lisa, Mark, Fozzy, Scooter and Handan xxxx”

Happy Days and Happy Christmas and New Year Handan x

A huge big Thank You to everyone for your continued support because we couldn’t do what we do without you!

Good News for Christmas! Buttons had the operation on his spleen last Monday. The good news is that the vet was very pleased with how the operation went and after an overnight stay at the vet’s he has been taken to a foster home to help him recuperate. It was thought best for him to go to a foster home because it is bitterly cold and wet in the rescue centre and we want to do the best we can to give him a chance to recover from the operation.

Here are some photos of Buttons sporting a very trendy blue collar in his new foster home. These new collars are so much more comfortable than the traditional cones.
