Animal Rescue Kefalonia – ARK
Founded in October 2011, by a team of animal loving people that live in Argostoli with the collaboration and help of the municipality of Kefalonia who provided the land for the shelter.
It was quickly embraced by all animal loving people in the island. Particularly valuable is the contribution of the British community of the island.
The aim is to rescue, provide care and shelter, rehabilitate and rehome Kefalonia’s stray animal population.
It tries to provide the strays with all the medical care they need and promotes a neutering program that will help birth control and public health. Moreover, they try to achieve the social and physical rehabilitation of the animals promoting animal adoption by individuals/families. In addition, it tries to raise public awareness and organise groups of volunteers and programs for the animal care and welfare.
Thei charity organisation is approved by the Single Member First Instance Court of Kefalonia with the approval number 88/16-6-2011 and registered with number 582/13-10-2011.
We visited several times during our recent holiday to Kefalonia and were very moved by the dedication of the only two permanent staff on hand to help these precious souls – Marina and Joyce who dedicate their time seven days a week to help rehabilitate, feed and look after every need of these abandoned angels.
If you can help in any way by donating anything to this wonderful cause or just by spreading the word it would mean so much to these brilliant people and animals.
