Thank you so much to Sharon and Elvis Haynes who spent some time at the Cat Sanctuary yesterday visiting our cats. They also bought with them some ‘EasyPill putty’ which helps give tablets to cats (especially)… So if you are looking to bring donated items from the UK, Our Sanctuary Supervisor would LOVE some of this to help her medicate our cats. We think it can be purchased in most outlets in the UK.
We are in need of at least one volunteer to assist on our PIT Table (Public Information Table). It is in the centre of Girne opposite The George and opens on a Friday for approx 2 .5 hours. Please call the office on 0533 869 4098 or email at kartrnc@gmail.com. You need to be able to engage with the public and promote and explain KAR to visitors. It is a lovely way to meet people. SO if you can spare 3 hours on a Friday please help!!!!!
Here are a few of our furbabies still waiting for forever homes or even sponsorship. Please if you are here or coming for a holiday, please go to the centre and have your heart stolen……. If you would like to sponsor any of our dogs or cats, please email the office at kartrnc@gmail.com.
This is Pinky and Pixie 6 months old, bought to KAR as tiny puppies. Fully vaccinated and neutered. Ready for their forever home. Please visit them and our other puppies 9am-1pm. 7 days per week.
Crumpets Story
” One day in March I was sitting on my kennel watching the world go by with my other doggy friends. A couple of humans came walking around – not unusual, but I didn’t get excited as I had been at the rescue centre for over 7 years and seen it all before. I was classed as old because I think I am around 10 years old (that what the vet says).
I was surprised the next day when I was taken out of my kennel, given a shower (not keen on water) and a bit of a haircut. Guess what I was being adopted!!!!
I was put in their car and taken to my new home. It was a house – scary.
They seemed a nice couple they spoke to me gently and gave me masses and masses of cuddles. I had a nice comfy place to sleep, which is a dog cage at the bottom of the stairs. I feel safe there and happy to go to sleep because I know nothing going to get me or frighten me.
Some things were new to me. Television. By the way I don’t like Pointless – ‘hiya’ gets on my nerves. I’ve had to get used to seeing myself in mirrors, going for regular walks, meeting the neighbours not just humans but the other neighborhood dogs (nice dog next door called Lilly).
I made my new family smile when I first learnt to jump in the back of the car ( I do like going out for a little jaunt in the car), the next time I wasn’t so successful as the tailgate wasn’t open so I banged my nose – hey everyone has to learn.
I have really settled in now and know that when they have to go out they will always come back. I get so excited when I hear their car into the drive I wag my tail and race around like a 2 year old. They are always pleased to see me as well and if I have been really good I get a treat.
Anyway I’ll finish now as its time for my afternoon nap whilst man is watching cricket and wife in swimming pool.
P.S
A word from my family
We were a little unsure about having a dog but Crumpet has not let us down. She is the perfect dog for us. Calm, gentle and happy and no damage to shoes, furniture etc.. We have taken it slowly and she has settled in so well. Every day we learn a little more about each other. So please if you are thinking about adopting a dog, please consider an older dog they can be just as fun as a puppy if not more.
Earlier in the week we posted the photos of Cariene, volunteering at the Centre during her holiday. Well Cariene leaves tonight back to Holland, but before she left she came to the office and donated 2000TL for 10 new kennels at the centre. Cariene, a KAR hero. Thank you for your most generous donation, 10 new kennels is a huge part of the refurbishment needed at the centre. We salute you!!!!!! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶
To celebrate the amazing reviews and the award last week, we at the office decided to get Elaine a little pressie…..

Jess arrived in the TRNC at the end of April . Customs officers were surprised to hear that she was 12 1/2 years young – they did not think that such an elderly lady would have travelled so well. But Jess’s journey was not finished – her owners were not travelling to the TRNC for a few days and so we had arranged for her to go into boarding here until they were ready to collect her. They were given regular updates during her journey and whilst she was in boarding. Jess, David and Pauline are now all settled into their new TRNC life.
