Noodles Special:
Remember the pups which were orphaned at 7 days old? They are now ready to look for a home to call their own! The pups have very special "names" for differentiation but it's for the eventual adopter to change their names. They are fast learners :)

There are 3 females and 1 male so if you're ready for them too, please drop us a message with your name, age and any experience with pets to 9270 8612. We will appreciate it if you could get your family member or guardian to contact us if you're below the age of 21.

Breed: Mongrel/Singapore Special
Age: Close to 2 months old
Color: Brown
HDB-approved? The pups can not be assessed for Project Adore till they are 6 to 9 months old.

Meet Udon - female

Soba - female

Beauty.. is in the eyes of the beholder

Beauty.. is in the eyes of the beholder. A magnificant black and white big-boned girl, most dogs from Beauty's area on Jurong Island are easily 30kg dogs. She herself is already 27kg though she still needs to put on a bit of weight! Beauty is estimated to be slightly over three years old only, though she does look a bit aged probably due to the harsh conditions on the island.

Beauty has been hospitalized twice thus far, first time for complications during her spay surgery and a couple of weeks back, she was listless, running a high fever and had diahorrea from infection due to tick fever. We had a huge scare as there were initial suspicions of leptospirosis!

Beauty is now at a boarding place and we are looking for a fosterer/adopter for her. She does look a bit goofy but this smart girl has already attempted escapes a couple of times - both at the vet clinic and boarding place!

Email us at noahsarkcares@gmail.com if you will like to foster/adopt her, or if you can help with her medical bills. Thank you!

Official Announcement by Noah’s Ark CARES (Singapore)

[https://www.facebook.com/noahsarkcares/posts/1310965038968656]

16th August 2016

NA CARES is pleased to announce that it was granted Institute of Public Character Status (IPC) status on 8th August 2016.

This award is validation and confirmation of the hard work NA CARES has contributed to the Singapore community with respect to animal welfare.

We would like to thank all our supporters, volunteers and members for believing in our cause and helping us achieve this amazing milestone.

We will continue with our Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) projects, both on mainland Singapore and in Jurong Island. We have always maintained that TNR is the only humane way to control any stray population. We will continue to work hand in hand to support our caregivers in maintaining their charges both in terms of food and medical care, and rehoming efforts whenever possible. CARES because we do and we remain committed to every one of them.

From 8th August 2016, any cash donations made to Noah’s Ark CARES towards the welfare of the animals we minister to, will be granted tax exemption of 2.5 times the amount. To qualify for this exemption, all persons or corporates will have to provide their names and tax reference numbers (IC number for persons) to NA CARES if they wish to claim tax deductions on their donations. For further elaboration and clarification please do check the FAQs on donations and tax deductions on the IRAS website.

Thank you once again for helping us help our homeless animals – we exist because of your support and belief in our work.

Bottle - with his head stuck in a container!

What a day! While most of us are comfortably gathered at home or at the National Stadium to watch the National Day Parade, our caregivers for JIP (Jurong Island Project) have been working under the merciless sun as usual taking care of the dogs like on any other day. Together with SOSD Singapore, we are still trying our best to sterilize the dogs on this restricted island.

This handsome little boy had his head stuck in a plastic container for three whole days! He scooted out ...of sight very quickly during the past two days but earlier today, he was spotted once again and a few caregivers managed to corner him under a fallen tree trunk and pulled him out.

Now after some food and water, he is quietly lying down in a corner resting. The poor boy must have been badly shaken by this freak incident when all he might have wanted, was some food. And his name? We named him.. Bottle. :D

We are always in need of fosterers and/or adopters. If you can spare some space in your home and heart, please email us at noahsarkcares@gmail.com. Kindly note that the fostering period will have to be a minimum of one to two months as we will not want to move the dogs around as much as possible. Thank you!

JIP Feature: Sweet Brown Boy!

[https://www.facebook.com/noahsarkcares/photos/a.417711168294052.104858.417707781627724/1280358075362686/?type=3&theater]

Ever since embarking on the Jurong Island TNR project last year, there has been no looking back. A lot of time and resources have been committed to keep this going, with the volunteers toiling away under harsh weather conditions and we eventually hiring full-timers for the project. Especially for the team on the ground, tears of joy and sorrow have often been shed. Nonetheless, it is our commitment to ensure that as many helpless dogs on this restricted island are saved.

For a start, today we are featuring this lovely brown boy whom we brought out to a mainland clinic a couple of weeks ago. We do not have a name for him as yet – most of the time only the naughty ones get named first! :P He is very docile and loving, our pet transport could just ferry him in his van without crating him! He was looking listless and running a high fever but has since recovered from it.

We are always on the lookout for fosterers and volunteers to help these dogs. Fosterers to condition these dogs to a home environment so that they can eventually be rehomed, and volunteers to help with cleaning duties especially during weekends. We have to specify that fostering will at least be for a couple of months as we do not wish to stress the dogs by moving them around, and that most of the dogs to be fostered are adult mongrels though we might have puppies at times too.

Please email us at noahsarkcares@gmail.com to discuss more should you be able to help us foster, or do not mind working under the sun to help these dogs. We look forward to hearing from you!

Orphaned at 7 days old! Fosterers needed!

[https://www.facebook.com/noahsarkcares/posts/1276825889049238]

Update (20 July):
These sweet ones are now in the good hands of foster homes and growing well!

They will be ready for adoption in a month's time or so, look out for that post :)

We would like to thank everyone who has shared the post, nudged their friends to help and to our foster families who are so generous with their time and love.

More updates soon!

============================================================

These 7 mongrel pups were left all alone after the mom got killed in a road accident.

At 7 days old, they have no sight yet. We need foster homes or adopters to help nurse them every 2 to 3 hours and they still need to be bottle or syringe fed. We need foster homes for these precious ones till they find a permanent home.

If you're able to help them, please send a message with your name and experience with nursing puppies to 9270 8612. Or, help to spread the word! Thank you!

Noah's Ark CARES - New Logo

[https://www.facebook.com/noahsarkcares/posts/1271935542871606]

NA CARES was registered in 2005 to spearhead sterilization projects of both stray dogs and cats in Singapore, rehome adoptable strays as well as assist in the fund raising efforts for Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Sanctuary (NANAS) in Malaysia.

Since its inception, NA CARES has sterilized an average of 150 animals each year in Singapore through the dedicated hard work of its Singapore volunteers and vets.

Last year, NA CARES was asked to participate in the TNR project in Jurong Island together with ASD and SOSD. In recognition of our efforts, MCCY granted NA CARES charity status on 9.5.2016. With conferment of charitable status comes greater regulations and requirements imposed on NA CARES, and we have been asked to separate the Singapore from the Malaysian activities.

To that end, we have re-organised NA CARES to reflect its Singapore – centric activities. A new logo has also been introduced so that supporters are aware that NA CARES is no longer involved with any of the Malaysian activities. A new society, NANAS is to be registered under the leadership of Raymund Wee.

NA CARES will continue with its TNR projects in Singapore. At present, NA CARES jointly maintains with SOSD almost 280 dogs at Jurong Island. Due to work safety issues, these dogs can no longer be released. There is a sheltered enclosure for these animals to be housed till a permanent structure can be built or found in Singapore. NA CARES is committed to the welfare of these dogs.

In 2015, 16 dogs were relocated to the sanctuary in Malaysia on the understanding that being strays, they would be given a second lease of life there. The volunteers were promised by Raymund that the dogs would be well taken care of while they in turn would sponsor the upkeep for these dogs at the 2015 prevailing rates. Any deviation from these assurances by either party would definitely constitute broken trust. Please do assist us by sponsoring these animals at S$50 a month. (http://www.mediafire.com/…/ka8nlkzt9a…/Sponsorship+pack.zip/)

At the same time, NA CARES will need to undertake its own fund raising to pay for the maintenance of the remaining 280 dogs.

We have to provide for 1000+ kgs of dry food per month, sterilization costs for unneutered animals, incidental vet charges for any sick or injured dogs, the wages of full and part time workers to assist in the cleaning and feeding of these animals. We estimate monthly expenses to be $20,000 a month.
We would like to appeal for assistance of either sponsorships of these animals at $100 per month, donations of rice and dog food and/or cleaning supplies for the Jurong Island project.

Nonetheless, the most valuable gift that NA CARES would dearly love to receive is a forever home for any of these animals. So if you know you have both some space in your heart and home for an animal, please do consider adopting one of them. It would be the best gift that you could ever bestow on them and us.
