It is the start of a new school year, and the KAR Education Team would like to introduce their new team member.
Her name is’Ruby’ , and she is our new four legged classroom assistant.
Ruby had been at the Rescue Centre from a little puppy, until Maggie saw her, and it was love at first sight! Ruby is now about 10 months old.
She has already passed her first test…. she was introduced to a youth group, and behaved perfectly.
As she has spent all her formative months in a compound, living in a house with other dogs and cats is all new and exciting for her. But as you can see, she has settled very well! She is friendly and playful, and will help us in our work to show young people how to look after their pets.
If you would like the Education Team to visit your school or organisation please contact the KAR office. We would love to visit you, and for you to meet Ruby.

Nena had 99 Red Balloons ……well KAR doesn’t have any balloons but we do have 99 Rave Reviews……..all on Trip Advisor .
We are No 1 of 34 Places/Things to Do in and around Kyrenia……We have our Certificate of Excellence . We ARE one of TRNC’s top tourist attractions.
We have been called on by various authorities, individuals and groups for advise on many aspects of animal welfare and we are happy to help where/if we can.
Our staff and volunteers are experienced , caring people who have compassion and love for animals and know how to interact with people on a daily basis – be that in any of our public retail venues, our office, or at our Rescue Center – Thank you one and all – staff, volunteers, vets, committee, supporters, sponsors, donators – you all help make Team KAR as successful as it is.
BUT we want more – more visitors and more reviews – we want to reach 100 and then more. The more people who know about us, about what we do, and what we try to do the better.
Keep visiting our Center (9 – 1 daily) and keep writing those reviews – spread the word.
Team KAR – No 1.

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.
