We know that many of you will be deeply concerned by the news of the air strikes on Kabul last night. We want to share a brief, reassuring update regarding the Nowzad family. All of our staff and their families in Kabul are safe. We also want to confirm that all the animals in our care at our Animal Hospital in the city centre, as well as the retired working animals at our Donkey Sanctuary on the outskirts of Kabul — an area that was particularly targeted — are unharmed.

The Nowzad Hospital was an absolute WHIRLWIND of activity yesterday, for World Spay Day - the first one in our new hospital! Our vet team hit an incredible target by the end of the day – carrying out TNVR for 80 stray dogs and cats collected from every corner of Kabul. These animals are currently resting in our hospital, recovering from successful spay and neuter surgeries. By preventing future litters, we’ve removed the heavy physical burden of reproduction and nursing off these animals too –

I remember the morning my family was woken by the sound of explosions. Looking out of our window, we could see the smoke rising and the blasts at the airport. Instead of the usual routine of school runs and

Happy Friday everyone! It’s time to meet one of the biggest personalities at the Sanctuary. 🐐✨ - Jaja (our resident Star Wars legend!) If you think those ears look familiar, you’re right—our handsome boy Jaja was named after everyone’s favourite long-eared Gungan! Back in 2018, Pen and the Nowzad team found Jaja at a migrant camp on the outskirts of Kabul, during one of our regular animal health clinics. At just one year old, he was fighting a losing battle with severe gastroenteritis and
