Big Cats help small cats (and dogs!)


Willing volunteers from D Company, 2 LANCS 'The Lions Of England' very kindly gave up their time and braved the bad weather to help with some much needed maintenance work.

The lads from D Company very kindly cut back bushes around the kennels and catteries and cleared away rubbish...the whole place now looks a lot smarter.
Some of the lads took time out to sit with the animals....it certainly brightened up their day!

BARC would like to thank 2LANCS for their support and wish them well with their move to Weeton this Summer.....many returning with BARC cats and dogs!

Alf's Story


Alf was brought to BARC through no fault of his own and was the sweetest dog you could ever meet, he loved to go for walks and play fetch with his tennis ball and also got on very well with the dogs at BARC. Alf was sadly overlooked at BARC and spent many months waiting to be chosen. We were lucky enough to be helped by a Germany charity who advertised him on their website. He didn't have to wait long for someone to fall in love with him and on the 14th October he made the journey to his new forever home.

Alf is now living the good life on a farm, has a new four legged friend to hang out with and all the grass he could ever want (a rare thing in Cyprus). His new family sent us some photos of Cody as he is now called and I'm sure you'll agree he looks very content....and we are all so very pleased for him.

Waggy Walk raises much needed funds


A huge thank you and WELL DONE to all the walkers who took their four legged friends on a 10K walk all to raise funds for BARC.
The new Friends of BARC Chairperson, Wendy Rayner organised the walk and enlisted the help of many of our volunteers to take part on the day. Some of the dogs walked are BARC dogs all waiting for loving homes. Everyone enjoyed the walk especially the dogs! They started at 6am and returned just in time to beat the rain!

An amazing amount was raised by all the walkers....around 500 euros but with sponsor money still coming in, this could rise!
All the dogs at BARC need to be walked every day and we are in need of more caring people to help. If you would like to become a dog walker please call 2596 3733

Thank you EEG!!!

A HUGE thank you to all at the Episkopi Events Group for holding the recent pamper evening at the Kensington Mess. Daphne Reeve presented 140 euros which was raised on the night. A fantastic boost to BARC which will go a long way to help the cats and dogs in our care. Thanks all all involved and those who were pampered on the night helping to raise money for such a good cause.
