Kyrenia Animal Rescue (KAR)

We receive no government assistance for the work we do with the neglected, injured and homeless animals of North Cyprus. All our funding comes from donations, animal sponsorship, legacies, our charity shop and money raising events.

We pledge to continue our on-going projects ie neutering, education, re-homing, cat feeding area, poisoning, passport for pets, changes in law etc. As well as further communications with government departments and ministers in helping to change attitudes towards the care and welfare of animals in the community.

As the number of animals in our care increased, the need for further expansion of compounds and kennels continues. The original kennel block built in 1999 desperately requires refurbishment. To be able to achieve this, further accommodation to house the animals in this block is a requirement before work can begin. Additional individual smaller kennels to house puppies and the ‘walking wounded/recovering ops’ dogs are also in the planning stages but require much needed finances.

Work also needs to be done to expand the cattery.

We plan to expand our education programme with visits to the local schools to give lessons on Animal Care. As well as encouraging further groups of children and adults to visit the centre and handle some of the animals.

KAR welcomes new members and volunteer workers who share our ideals. If you are unable to volunteer your services, you can help us by sponsoring one of our animals, giving a donation or leaving a legacy. We rely totally on people who give generously either of their money or their time. If you care for animals, please help.

We have social activities and fundraising events throughout the year. Look out for adverts and posters or contact our office for news of the next fundraising event.
