I needed to check something about cat neutering in TRNC and have just seen the new revamped KAR website.
What an improvement !
It is now so much easier to find information and it just looks so much better. It is the same website address as before but with a new improved lay out and with updated info and photos about KAR.

Just noticed Soner has his nose in this, nice work and well done.

Just looked at KAR web site.excellent,well done Soner

It is all very well having a revampted website, but how does this help the animals.

My husband recently found a very young male kitten in Erol's car park.

He is extremely thin and has a pronounced limp. I am not an expert but it looks like he has either a dislocated hip or broken leg/ankle.

What do I do? I have been told that if I feed/water him, he is adopted so is therefore not KAR's responsability.

My husband works for the belideye and is on a low income so there is no way we could afford to pay a vet to have his leg/hip fixed.

If I don't feed/water him, will KAR come out to him? or will he just lie there and die?

If I agree to look after him afterwards will Kyrenia Animal RESCUE come and fix his leg?

BLUE BUTTERFLY - have you spoken to KAR about this kitten - have you rung their office to report it ? Have you spoken to your local vet about this kitten (they too can/do help with injured stray animals) ? Surely with an injury the vet should be your first call - they are the experts.
KAR are also on a limited income and cannot always help every single animal (despite many people thinking they should) - although they would love to be able to do so - but they will help if they can.
I commented on the improved site because it is a big improvement - hopefully it will attract new supporters which in turn could attract new income through sponsorship, donations etc - that in turn WILL help the animals that they help. It wasn't a post designed to start another anti KAR thread about what KAR don't do ! Why can't people give credit where credit is due and consider the many animals they are able to help.

Ifonly, why so quickly on the defensive?

I cannot find anything in my post that is Anti KAR. I was merely asking for advice on whether or not KAR would be willing to help, having read so many negative threads about them and, I might add, being told by numerous people, that from experience, they wouldn't.

There was no helpful advice forthcoming from either KAR or anyone else so I have taken Marley, the kitten. elsewhere.

He is being well looked after and thriving so maybe this thread could be closed.

Not sure why the thread should be closed - it was about the new revamped web site after all.
