Kyrenia Animal Rescue (KAR)

Let's give a big shout out to Elaine, our Centre Manager, who has been in charge at our rescue centre here in North Cyprus for 10 years this month.
Her priority is always the welfare of the dogs and cats at the centre and we couldn't ask for a better Centre Manager. She's always there, despite all the crap (literally!) she has to deal with and she and her team always have the best interests of the animals at heart.
This photo was taken during Covid when she and some other volunteers actually lived at the centre during the pandemic restrictions. It's a long time ago now but just goes to show the commitment of Elaine and the others.
Happy 10th anniversary Elaine!

The proceeds will help care for the dogs and cats at our rescue centre so your support will be really helpful to us. Everything is priced at 50tl - so bag yourself a bargain!
