Our Relevance To The Community
Our Mission
Noah's Ark Ipoh (NAI) was formed in 2009 for the purpose of tackling the huge problem of stray cats and dogs on the streets in our community. NAI is managed and run by a group of 25 dedicated volunteers. NAI cares for, protects, treats and spays abandoned and abused animals.
To date, NAI has treated and spayed over 4500 cats, kittens, puppies and dogs. Funds permitting, we neuter around 30 - 50 strays per month. All these have been funded by generous donations from the public and by our dedicated volunteers and members.
NAI's Priority Is Neutering
As we do not have assistance from the city council to help stop this over population of sick and abandoned animals, NAI has taken on this task of helping to clear the streets of this ever increasing problem. City council's answer to this is trapping and relocating them elsewhere. Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem as these unneutered dogs will continue to breed. There is a huge problem with cats too and this is often overlooked. NAI is trying to get to the root of this problem. Treating and spaying alone is not enough.
Education / Awareness
One of our main focuses is to create awareness amongst the community on pet ownership responsibility. NAI runs education programmes in schools. It provides children and adults with firsthand knowledge on the importance of pet ownership responsility, neutering and compassion for animals.
Why Do We Organise So Many Adoption Drives
We play a crucial role in organising animal adoption events for several reasons, aligned with our mission of promoting animal welfare and addressing various issues related to stray animals. Here are some key reasons why NAI engages in organising animal adoption events:
1. Rescue and Rehabilitation: NAI focuses on rescuing and rehabilitating animals, especially those that have been abandoned, abused, or are in distress. Adoption events provide an avenue for these rescued animals to find caring and permanent homes.
2. Reduce Strain on Shelters: Animal shelters often face challenges such as overcrowding and limited resources.
3. Educational Initiatives: NAI also uses adoption events as an opportunity to educate the public about responsible pet ownership, the importance of spaying/neutering, vaccinations, and the consequences of abandoning or neglecting animals. Adoption events serve as platforms for raising awareness about animal welfare issues.
4. Community Engagement: NAI aims to build a community of individuals who are passionate about animal welfare. Adoption events bring together like-minded people, creating a supportive network that can contribute to ongoing efforts, including volunteering, fostering, and donations.
5. Raise Visibility and Support: Organising adoption events helps NAI gains visibility within the community. Increased visibility can lead to more support from volunteers, donors, and potential adopters. The positive atmosphere of adoption events can also foster a sense of goodwill toward the organisation.
In summary, NAI organises animal adoption events as part of our broader mission to rescue and rehabilitate the strays. These events not only contribute to finding homes for animals in need but also serve as educational and community-building initiatives, helping NAI fulfils our objectives in promoting a more compassionate society for the strays.

How to save 100 strays?
- Trap and neuter stray animals to reduce the future explosion of litters in our community
- Run education programmes to schols and community to educate the public on responsible pet ownership, the caring of animals, and the importance of neutering
- Organising spaying campaigns in villages and low income areas
- Distribution of educational flyers in banks for people to read while waiting to be served
- Picking up very sick and badly injured animals and treating them at the vets, boarding them if necessary
- Working with the City Council to raise awareness that it is their responsibility to help NGOs as this benefits the community as a whole: (1). find a solution to the number of strays by educating the public (2). fine dog owners who let their dogs roam the streets (3). increase dog licences for unneutered dogs.

Challenges we face
Benefits to our community
Benefits to our community
- Irresponsible pet ownership. These animals are often not neutered and reproduce very quickly, leading to a population explosion. Also, a large number of animals are abandoned because they are old or sick
- Charges for spaying / neutering are high and some pet owners cannot afford this service
- Many would rather buy an expensive pedigree animal than adopt a stray
- Most of the people managing shelters rely on the generosity of the public. If this is not forthcoming, they end up paying out of their own pockets. As the NGOs are helping to keep the city and the community free from this problem, any assistance from anyone will be appreciated
- The public responds only when they encounter a problem that affects them directly when strays end up on their street.
Noah's Ark Ipoh At Work
Female Dog Badly Neglected by Owner
This girl was saved from an owner who had neglected her for months. She was severely dehydrated and malnourished and suffered from bad mange. The owner dumped her at his local market once he found out that NAI had been round to check on his dog's welfare. The dog is now under Noah's Ark Ipoh's care and has made a full recovery.
Please help to prevent such appaling suffering by reporting cases of animal abuse/neglect that you are aware of.
Please help us
Cases like this require dedicated rescuers and financial resources. Please donate towards their care.
CRISIS in Papan
Stop the dumping and killing of stray dogs and endorse the TNRM program to control the stray population
Noah’s Ark Ipoh together with other animal welfare NGOs and independent volunteers are involved in the care of stray dogs dumped by MBI in Papan. This dump site is now overcrowded with dogs, leading to dogs overflowing onto the highway and residential area nearby. These dogs are very disorientated, walk around aimlessly and live in appalling conditions. Many are in need of veterinary care, and there is a high risk of the dogs being run over. Furthermore, the dogs are not neutered, making the overpopulation problem even worse.
We need your help.
NAI and other NGOs have offered MBI proposals on how to manage the stray population. MBI needs to work with NGOs to reduce the stray population. Please put pressure on the local council to stop catching and dumping or killing stray dogs, and ask them to endorse a TNRM (trap, neuter, release and manage) program, the only way to humanely control the stray population.
Please use our donate button to make a monthly contribution towards the care of the dogs in Papan. Mark your donation “Papan” if you want every cent of your donation to be used for the feeding, welfare and neutering of the Papan strays.
Thank you.

Several hundred dogs have been dumped at the Papan dump site, including some puppies that are only a few weeks old. These dogs and puppies do not stand a chance of surviving without the food, water and shelter provided by animal welfare volunteers.

To make matters even worse, some of the dogs that wander into the residential area nearby in search of food are being poisoned. NAI and other NGOs are campaigning for the poisoning to stop.
