Updates at Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter: October 2016

13 October 2016

Dear Friends of NANAS

Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) is no longer affiliated to Noah's Ark CARES

It has come to our attention that some of our donors are not aware thatNoah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) which runs the animal sanctuary in Johor, Malaysia is now a separate entity from Noah's Ark CARES in Singapore.

Both entities, their operations and fundraising initiatives, were separated in June 2016.

• A new entity, Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) in Singapore was formed on 27 July 2016 for the purpose ofcontinuing our rescue operations in Singapore as well as forraising funds for shelter operations in Malaysia.
• Noah's Ark CARES is solely based in Singapore.
• Noah's Ark CARES no longer funds the operations in Malaysia with effect from June 2016. 

A new bank account has been opened for NANAS Singapore.

All donations, sponsorship and boarding fees for the animals at the animal sanctuary in Johor, Malaysia should be paid into this new account.

If your donations are intended for the animals at NANAS Malaysia, please channel your funds to the following new bank account with immediate effect:

We thank you for your continuing support of our work and for being there when we needed help in this critical transition period.  In the meantime, we wish to update you on our latest rescues from Singapore.

Meet Meowmi, a 10 year old cat who arrived in September 

She belonged to and was cared for by a maid but when her contract ended, she was sent home.  The employer also did not want to keep the cat and was going to put it to sleep. 

Fortunately, Andrew came to know about Meowmi's plight, tried all means to re-home her but failed as she can be quite a handful and difficult to handle.  Most people would also not adopt senior cats so chances of re-homing her was very slim.

At the last resort, Andrew turned to Noah's Ark (NANAS) for help.  We agreed to take the cat because we were satisfied that he had exhausted all means to help the animal.

Andrew has also taken responsibility to look after Meowmi for the rest of her life by sponsoring her stay at the sanctuary.  We applaud him for doing his utmost to ensure that Meowmi be given a second chance.

7 dogs just arrived from a shelter forced to shut down due to rental increase

In December 2015, Raymund Wee, our founder, offered assistance to a shelter in Singapore when he found out that it had to shut down due to operational cost.

The landlord had doubled the rent and refused to budge so the operator of the shelter accepted our offer of help.  She had also told us that she would do her best to re-home as many dogs as possible before her lease expired at the end of September.

Out of a total of 22 dogs, 15 dogs were re-homed.  The remaining 7 dogs were sent to Noah's Ark (NANAS).  These were the ones that were difficult to re-home, especially the black, black and tan and older dogs.

However, these 7 dogs are the lucky ones who are now given a second chance at the sanctuary.  They are very sociable and have happily settled in.  We are sure, that in no time, they will be free to play, roam and run around on the sanctuary grounds.

All expenses incurred were paid for by the shelter operator and her friends which included sterilisation, vaccination, health checks, transportation and documentation fees.
