A message from Pen Farthing
12 November 2024

A note from Pen, Nowzad founder. 

This year has finally brought the closure I needed on the events surrounding August 2021 and the evacuation of Kabul. Just as I had almost given up hope of finding a publisher, the marvellous team at Claret Press gave me the opportunity to publish ‘Operation Ark’ in July of this year, both as a paperback and an audiobook.

Today marks a milestone that truly takes our breath away. For one entire decade, the incredible community at Raise 4 Nowzad has been a lifeline for the animals in our care. From the countless parcels packed with love to the relentless effort of organising monthly auctions, this group has been a force of nature. We are beyond thankful to the heart and soul of the group too, Ann. Because of her dedication and the R4N generosity, the total raised as of December 2025 is a staggering: £114,584.00 �

Our beautiful girl Pat spent the majority of her life as a working donkey in one of the harshest environments we could imagine – within the high-altitude villages surrounding Kabul, Afghanistan. Here, donkeys are the lifeblood of the community, often providing the only means of transporting water and goods. Pat was forced to perform this gruelling work while battling rickets - a condition caused by severe nutritional deficiencies. This led to a softening of her bones, causing her legs to bow un

Hey Nowzadies and beyond! March 2nd.... so Happy International Rescue Cat Day! Today we celebrate the incredible feline survivors who have found safety within our shelter and hospital walls, and eventually in the arms of loving families in Afghanistan, Ukraine and around the world. For a cat in a conflict zone, «rescue» isn’t just a word; it’s a second chance at a Life. For the «base cats» who keep soldiers company on the front lines, providing a sense of home in the middle of chaos. For th

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. While they are underst

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 –
