Rock the Rescue

Unfortunately we have had to cancel Rock the Rescue until a later date this year

Please keep checking the website for more details on this event later this year. Sorry for any inconvience caused, we hope to see you when we reschedule it later this year.


Cattery Refurb Appeal

We have recently lauched our Cattery Refurb Appeal, our catteries are starting to look a bit tired and could do with a new facelift, so we have started our Cattery refurb appeal to help our rescue cats have a new environment to stay in whilst in our care. 
The main area we would like to update is our main cattery this has been used since the rescue began 30 years ago, each pen has an excersie area outside and large pen for the living area. We would like to change the original cat flaps to safer and easier to use ones, redecorate and replace some doors and do a general refurb of the cattery. The other two catteries have solid  plastic pods which are used to isolate the new arrivals or stray cats that have only just had their vaccinations and the other cattery is for our kittens and pregnant cats.
Again these have been used for many years, some of the pods and doors need replacing purly down to wear & tear over the years. 
if you can support this appeal in anyway we would be ever so greatful for your help with this appeal.
Or if you can donate any items such as paint, cat flaps or even toys or food for the cats anything will be gratefully appreciated.
Please contact Nicky, Anne or Amy on 01745 560546 if you can support our appeal.

Cat food donations

We are in desperate need for cat food (tins & pouches) donations, people are always bringing very kind donations of dog food but recently not as much cat or kitten food. Obviously we are always needing this food for dogs and cats, especially when we have so many animals at the rescue at present. If you have any at home that you are not using or even buy a pack your next out shopping, all your donations will me much appreciated.

Thank you for your kind support.

New Charity Shop is now open in Mold

Open for business, why not pop in and take a look!


Our new shop is now open in Mold, so why not come and visit us.

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Snow Appeal at NCAR

Now the snow has gone we are so grateful to the kind donations that we received from you all. Our animals have had lots of food, treats and blankets to snuggle up in. We would like to thank everyone that donated money & other items and all who gave up their time to volunteer at NCAR over the past few weeks.
Unfortunately times are still hard, the winter months are always bad, due to more strays coming into our care. With over 100 dogs, 60 cats and 15 rabbits, these kind donations don't last that long, so we are always grateful for your kind donations, so if you can continue to donate all the below items all year round our charity but more importantly our animals will really benefit from your support.
Thank you once again for all your support!

NCAR are really struggling due to the snow we have had in the recent weeks.
Unfortunately our charity shops have had to close on certain days, as the snow was too bad.

Ways you can help...... 

You can help us by donating any unwanted Christmas presents you may have had over the festive season, 
as this will help bring more people into our shops.
Due to shops being shut, it has not helped with the finances at NCAR, bills are still coming in but unfortunately hardly any money is coming into the rescue, due to it being January (a poor month for everyone after Christmas!)
 
Our staff have found it difficult to get into work with the weather conditions being so bad, but we still get the dedicated volunteeers coming up and helping us out, which we really appreciate. 

What you can do...

 If you have any spare time and would like to become a volunteer for NCAR, please get in touch with
 Dave on 01745 560546 and he will be happy to help.


Unfortunately we cannot close down like a normal business as we have more animals than normal coming in as strays, needing warmth and comfort, and with over 100 dogs, 60 cats and many rabbits to feed, 
we all still have to work whatever the weather.
Last week we got 10 strays in one day from our local councils, meaning our new stray kennels are completely full.

We are finding it difficult to keep the animals warm and cosy in these sub zero temperatures, 

Can you help...

So we need your help, can you donate any money to help us feed and care for our animals
you can donate online by clicking the donate button on our homepage
(click on this link to take you to our homepage)

Or you can send a cheque to North Clwyd Animal Rescue or even drop your donation at the rescue or at one of our charity shops (click here to find out where they are located)

  If you can help in other ways such as donating your old blankets, shredded paper or newspaper. Or donate food for our animals -  they would really appreciate your generosity.

But thankfully it's not all doom and gloom, the dogs are loving playtime in the snow, so here are some pictures of NCAR in the snow.

Bailey

Bailey has come along way since he came to us last summer, he was frightened of near enough everything, but he now enjoys playing with his favourite squeaky tennis ball and this is a perfect example of how happy he is.
He is available for adoption, but he still has a few minor issues, so if you are interested in him, you will need to come and see him, but please be gentle with him as he is still very wary of most people.

Lizzie

Well Lizzie has a very sad story to tell, she came in just befor Christmas as a stray. She has been very ill over the festive period, as she was having so many fits we had to rush her straight to the vets on Christmas eve to be treated.
She then spent Christmas in a foster home, where she was cared for by Dave Sutton.
But luckily with Dave's love and care and along with all her medication, she started to get better.
She is now back at the rescue, and  thankfully back on the road to recovery, she is still on her medication, but hopefully she will back to her normal self,  she loves playing in the field and is now acting her real puppy age.

I have now found a lovely home, where I have settled in perfectly!

Puppy Love

I have now found a loving home

I am 1 of 3 in a litter that came in before Christmas, but my brother and sister have now gone to new loving homes, so I'm left on my own. I really need a home soon, please contact NCAR if you can give me the love and attention that I really need! Don't I look cute in this picture!
