KSAR Needs Rescue!

From the Irish Sun:

“DEADLINE LOOMING Kabul Small Animal Rescue running out of time to get dogs, cats and staff out of Afghanistan before Taliban’s deadline”

An animal charity has just days left to evacuate dogs, cats and its staff out of Afghanistan before the Taliban's August 31 deadline. Kabul Small Animal Rescue has been stuck at Kabul Airport for four days - and is running out of time.

The animals have just days to leave the country. The charity said they 'remain hopeful.’ The charity said they 'remain hopeful.’ They wrote on Facebook: "We are all exhausted as we round the corner on our fourth day of Kabul Airport mayhem. "It has been difficult for everyone and we have had some success, but have a long way to go and not much time. "We will remain hopeful and use the time we have remaining to do our very best to move out the staff animals. "We are eternally grateful for all the assistance."

Founder of the charity Charlotte Maxwell-Jones, from the US, said if they are still on the ground when the deadline passes "all bets are off." The charity previously thanked the public for donating to the cause. Earlier this week, they said: "Everyone at KSAR is so grateful for the many donations that have come in to help us all evacuate. "We're also delighted to say that some of the outreach and advocacy efforts have given us some traction when it comes to flight permissions. "We have several contingency plans in the works and are optimistic that we will be able to see concrete results soon. "While things are still difficult here and we would all like to sleep as peacefully as our crashed out puppies, our staff are working hard to collect the animals from rescues throughout the city that have fewer transport options and working on intake of those animals that have been dropped off in anticipation of evacuation flights. "The fundraising efforts continue to blow us away, and we need your continued support to pull off this miracle for all of us. Please consider a donation."

^ I can only hope that Charlotte Maxwell-Jones, her Afghani staff and her animals can get out before the US stops the evacuations because the Taliban have already threatened her (as an American and as a woman) and she is in danger. ^
