Kyrenia Animal Rescue held their Annual General Meeting on 22nd July. Thirteen members attended. Margaret Ray gave a full and comprehensive report on KAR’s activities through 2019. She said that they were extremely thankful that 2019 was a much happier year than the previous year when we lost so many of our beautiful dogs to distemper. Forever homes were found for 48 dogs/puppies and 37 cats/kittens 16 of those dogs were found homes overseas in Germany, Dubia, UK and Canada. 815 cats and 60 dogs were neutered during the year which resulted in the totals since records began in 2002 of 10,962 cats and 3,815 dogs which was a great achievement and without doubt is having a massive impact in our fight against reducing the numbers of unwanted animals on the streets.
Over 1800 visitors came to the rescue centre during the year this was helped by winning the Trip Advisor certificate of Excellence and being voted number one in ’34 things to do in Kyrenia’. We are very proud of our Rescue Centre and thank all our visitors who brought donations put photos on social media and who have given us kind words of support.
Our Education Team have given a full report which can be seen on our Website and our Pet Travel department record another busy year for incoming and outgoing pets.
Our three Charity Shops, events throughout the year, sponsorship etc. have all helped immensely with funding.
We are the only private run shelter in the TRNC and are very proud of what we have achieved. It is always a struggle to maintain the high standard that we want for the animals in our care. We could not get there without the fantastic help and backing from my fellow Committee Members, our wonderful team at the centre, our great volunteers and our friends and supporters at home and overseas.
We give our eternal thanks to you all. We will continue, with your help.
The Financial Report on the 2019 Audited Accounts was presented by the Treasurer Marian Clay.
Committee members elected for 2020/21 were Margaret Ray, Gwen Cassell, Denise Aksoy, Marion Clay, Dilys Guthrie and co-opt members Jacky Kester and Senem Burkuoglu.
