2 pups were dumped recently in Catalkoy. they are approx 4 months old and because we literally have no space at our Rescue Center we were not able to take them in. Thankfully we had an offer of a foster placement until space can be made. They really need a home of their own

They are both girls, have their vaccinations, have been wormed and flead. They have had a full blood test for any nasties/parasites etc and were given the all clear. and will be neutered when they are old enough.

Star and Blue were a little wary of being indoors instead of outside initially. We can only assume that they had not been allowed indoors by the people who dumped them. But now they like their comfy beds indoors.
They are now walking well on their leads, beginning to learn how to sit, come and stay, They are good in the car. All in all they are a little (well not so little) pair of crackers.

They are  looking for their “furever” family – is that YOU ? If so please call 0090 533 4098 or email kartrnc@gmail.com

Do you remember Sylvie ? We told you about her back in March …..” She was rescued from the busy mountain road with her sibling Sidney in the autumn of 2018 – they were about 6 weeks old. Sylvie had suffered quite serious facial traumas. Both of her eyes had scars, one eye had a split bottom lid (which was repaired). She (and Sidney) went straight into KAR Quarantine. Now 18 months later and she is still having treatment for her facial injuries. Her facial bone structure has been altered due to the injuries she suffered before she was rescued.
Recently she had severe facial swelling and it was thought that it was due to an infected tooth root. The tooth was removed and she was given antibiotics. However the swelling increased and further veterinary advice was sought. She had a further operation and fragments of bone and tooth were removed from the root canal. However that did not affected the swelling – she has a serious infection in the bone and/or sinus area. She was put on a high dosage of antibiotics – but to no avail.
Yet another operation was carried out very recently – an incision was made from her mouth up into her face so that the infection itself could be drained. She has had to be taken to the animal hospital, in Lefkosa, every 2 days for the drainage hole to be cleared and re packed.”

It’sssss Friday …. and we have some KAR FGF to share !!!!!!!!!

As you know we are always looking for “fur ever” homes for our cats and dogs and not long ago we shared Midge’s story. He had been thrown out of a car up at the center just before TRNC lockdown came into force.
Following his tale being shared on here we had received emails from “hopeful” homes about Midge. However due to the local travel restrictions and stay at home regulations we could not arrange for any visits.
But last week we could finally arrange for Olesya and Roman to visit Midge up at the center. As you can see they all got on well and they were as happy as we were for Midge to say Goodbye to his KAR family and friends and to go home to his new “Furever family”.
It was lovely having you to stay with us Midge but even lovelier for you to leave – with your own family.
Happy days Midge – Ure going home !
