Kyrenia Animal Rescue meet Kermit and his Lady friend
It is not unusual for the Office Angels (and Centre staff) to arrive at work in the morning to be greeted by dumped/abandoned cats/kittens/dogs and puppies waiting for them.
It is not unusual for them to be in boxes, tied to the outside table, tied to the fence or for them to be just sitting waiting after being put out of their car!
It is not unusual for people to arrive, at the office, shop or centre, during the day with boxes of animals wanting help.
It is not unusual to hear a car drive off and then see the cat/dog left behind desperately trying to chase the car to catch its owner.
It is not unusual for a box left outside the shop during opening times to suddenly begin to move and for it to be full of kittens or puppies.
What is unusual is for the animals to arrive in a bin bag!
Kermit and his Lady friend were brought into the KAR office, in a bin bag, by their owners who no longer wanted them. The office angels quickly established that they had little chance of them reproducing, would take up a bit of room, but they were likely to be quiet, would not be needing much in the way of food or medical treatment – just probably a bit of grooming.
All they wanted was, like all of KAR’s animals, a new and loving home of their own. Luckily for Kermit and his Lady Friend it will not be long before they are re homed.
How we all wish that the same could be said for all of the cats, kittens, dogs and puppies at KAR.
If you would like to see any of our cats or dogs, kittens or puppies please visit our Rescue Centre which is open daily from 9.00am to 1.00pm.
Kyrenia Animal Rescue (KAR), our charity animal Rescue Centre is high in the Besparmak Mountains of Northern Cyprus which provides refuge for over 200 dogs and cats.

Tulips/HTWCA planning a PINK OCTOBER 2017
Having had a couple of quieter years for Tulips, we have decided that we would this year like to make a Pink splash and raise awareness and hopefully a lot of money for Cancer during October, which is recognised worldwide as ‘Breast Cancer Awareness Month‘.
We had a hugely successful ‘Stepping Out for Tulips‘ event last September so we thought it would be ideal if we used the same initiative, but held it during Pink October. We need people to join us by challenging themselves to walk 10,000 steps daily throughout the month, this is a great way to increase your physical daily activity without much effort … of which most of us know we need to do!
We have already got the pedometers and will provide the sponsor forms and any help or information that you may need. So all you budding steppers contact us to let us know that you will be taking part and we will put you on the list and you can busily go about getting all those wonderful sponsors especially as many guests are visiting at this time of year…..just think you could be burning off calories and raising money for Tulips at the same time!
The second main initiative for Pink October is having Pink Day on Friday 20 October and we are again this year going to be selling Pink T-Shirts (mainly thanks to Can Gazi!) so that we can all go Pink for Cancer.
We will be letting you know when and where we will be selling the T-Shirts and how much they will be very shortly.
We would like to encourage other people, businesses and schools to organise events during Pink October to ensure that the whole month becomes Pink.
So come on everyone join us in October to raise much needed awareness for Breast Cancer and also to raise some much needed funds to help all Cancer patients in the TRNC.
For further information on Pink Month, we can be contacted
