Nowzad Update - Operation Ark

31 August 2021

Operation Ark was a partial success with the safe evacuation of the Nowzad animals and Pen from Kabul during the last few hours of Kabul airport being secured by British and American troops.

Sadly the Taliban were not willing to let our Afghan national staff leave Afghanistan even though they finally had the correct paperwork from the UK government.

The dogs and cats of Operation Ark are now safely in quarantine and holding kennels relevant to their vaccinations and DEFRA approved blood testing dates and will be available for adoption from the Nowzad website in due course. Please do not message the quarantine kennels directly. They do not have the capacity or authority to adopt out any Nowzad dogs or cats.

The list of available dogs and cats and the procedure for adopting them will be published during mid-September. Our only focus now as a charity is the safety of our staff who were forced to remain in Kabul.

Thank you for your amazing and super generous support and for understanding as we move forward into a new chapter of the Nowzad charity.

A severe eye infection seems to have ruptured both eyes, plunging the poor girl into complete darkness. To alleviate her pain and restore some semblance of normalcy, the veterinary team performed a delicate surgical procedure on Friday and removed both eyes. Despite profound challenges, this brave cat has adapted remarkably

We are so pleased to report that our young foal, rescued by the team from a brutal dog attack in Kabul last November, is recovering amazingly well at Nowzad’s Donkey Sanctuary. Discovered by Dr. Reshad, the foal, initially named “No Ears” by @penfarthing due to the loss of her ears during the attack, suffered severe injuries and was found unable to stand after her tethering rope had gotten caught all around her legs. She was going to

It’s been a log time in the making but today Pen (Nowzad founder) is launching his new career away from the charity. If you like a bit of good ole country sounds then please visit www.nowzad.com/news (link also in bio ⬆️) to buy his debut album - maybe we can help him get the album into the top ten! Wishing Pen well as he takes on #beyoncè #nowzad #dogs #nowzaddogs #cats #country #musicvideo
