We are a dedicated group of volunteers on the Isle of Man building a community-based pet search team. Using the power of thermal drones, we help reunite lost animals with their families—quickly, safely, and effectively.

Our Journey So Far.

Thanks to your incredible support, we reached and surpassed our initial £7,000 goal in August 2025! We now have a professional-grade thermal imaging drone in operation aswell as 4G Wildlife cameras, communications & safety equipment.

We’ve already made a real difference:

Our on-going fundraising efforts: £10,000 for Sustainability & Growth.

The team is coming together, With the drone now flying, Charity registration in progress and a track record of success we’re shifting focus to long-term sustainability.

We need to cover ongoing costs and expand our capabilities so we can help even more lost pets.

Funds will go toward:

• Annual insurance (essential for public liability and operations)

• Renewals, advanced training, and certifications for pilots

K9 First Aid equipment & Training.

• Maintenance, spare batteries, and repairs

• Additional kit to enhance searches: trail cameras, handheld thermal devices.

Every donation—big or small—helps keep our team ready 24/7.

No animal should stay lost when training, technology and compassion can bring them home faster.

If you’ve lost a pet, know someone who has, or just want to support island animal welfare, please donate and share. Together, we’re making the Isle of Man a safer place for our furry friends.

Thank you from all of us at NCR IOM.
