Thank you Animal Aid Abroad Inc for helping to feed our equines!

On 12 July 2016, Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) received an email from Janet Thomas, Founder and Chairperson of Animal Aid Abroad Inc. informing us that they could help feed our horses.  This was after we sent out our announcement that very day to our supporters explaining our current situation together with an appeal for assistance.  (Please see Official Announcement of Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Shelter)

She had been following our work rescuing ex-working animals ranging from racehorses, show jumpers, riding school horses and even a pony from a theme park in Singapore and immediately offered assistance.

Their generous contribution on a regular ongoing basis will go a long way to help defray our feed costs.

Animal Aid Abroad Inc. (AAA) is an Australian registered charity dedicated to improving the living conditions and treatment of working animals around the world.  They work alongside partner groups to educate communities, provide shelter for animals and much needed food, water and care.

Here’s more information on Animal Aid Abroad.

Helping working animals all over the world

Animal Aid Abroad Inc. (AAA) was started in August 2007 in Perth, Australia with the purpose to improve the conditions and treatment of animals in Alexandria, Egypt.

AAA has expanded its operations to help other animals in developing countries specifically working animals including horses, mules, donkeys, camels, elephants, dogs and bullocks. 

In December 2008, AAA in partnership with their affiliated group, Animal Aid Egypt set up a 24 hr clinic in the city of Alexandria and begun outreach programs by setting up a weekly mobile equine/farm clinic and TNR programs with stray cats and dogs.

AAA has progressed from this initial project and now assists a number of groups all over the world to help working animals.

Official Announcement of Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter

6 July 2016

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) in Malaysia is no longer affiliated with Noah’s Ark CARES (NA CARES) in Singapore with immediate effect.

In 1995, Noah’s Ark Lodge Private Animal Shelter was set up in Jalan Kayu in Singapore by Raymund Wee to give animals that have been abused, abandoned and made homeless a second chance to live out the rest of their lives with dignity and love.

When the lease ended in June 2000, the sanctuary, including all its inhabitants, was moved to Johor, Malaysia and Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) was established on a 10-acre site near Gelang Patah.  The sanctuary is now home to 700 dogs, 300 cats, 9 horses and other animals that have been rescued.

Noah’s Ark CARES was registered in 2005 to be the Singapore arm of NANAS and in addition to its activities in Singapore was also responsible for raising funds for shelter operations in Malaysia. 

NANAS has since been informed by NA CARES that the Singapore operation can no longer fund NANAS’s activities in Malaysia.  

This is because NA CARES was granted charity status on 9 May 2016 and had to abide by the rules and regulations imposed by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth. 

In essence, the operations and funding for both entities have to be separated.  

Due to this unfortunate turn of events, NANAS will now have to stand on its own and conduct its own fundraising activities in Singapore.  

As the sanctuary is no longer represented in Singapore, Raymund Wee, Founder of Noah’s Ark and his new team are in the process of setting up a new entity in Singapore. 

Top priority is the welfare of the animals.  Funds are much needed for daily shelter operations which includes food for the animals, salary for workers, rental, diesel for generating electricity and all other expenses incurred in running the shelter.

Total cost is S$35,000 per month of which a large portion goes towards food.

If you wish to contribute, here are the details:

In the meantime, before the new entity is formed, you can donate to Raymund Wee’s personal account in Singapore Dollars to:
