Adoptable EMRO Cats - Updated August 31, 2010
We are happy you came here to look at our cats in need of a good
home, and we hope you will find your new companion here. If you
come here more often, please don't forget to refresh your screen
periodically by pressing the 'F5' button to see the updated cat
biographies. (To see a second picture of a particular Mau, click on the picture.)
If you are particularly interested in any new cat, please make
an inquiry and put in an application for that cat. You find the
application as well as other information about the adoption process
on the Adoption Information page. There is no obligation to adopt until it is confirmed, and you have decide
which cat is the one for you, and you will be considered next for this
cat.
All cats at EMRO will eventually be vaccinated against common cat
diseases, depending on their age and health. Special vaccination
requirements for certain countries will be met, of course.
Many cats you see here are also available for sponsorship while
awaiting adoption, and each cat may be sponsored by more than one
person. EMRO also takes care of cats who are old, feral or have
health issues preventing their adoption. These cats need Sponsors
the most! You can find these cats HERE.
OFF-SITE - We have additional Mau-mixes and Non-Mau cats available for both adoption and sponsorship being fostered by volunteers or by rescuers. You can find these sweet-tempered cats looking for homes of their own HERE.
Also, please have a look at the Arabian Maus available for adoption under KSA
Cats.
We are always urgently looking for a Pet
Escorts who are willing to accompany cats on their way to their
new homes outside Egypt. See Escort
a Mau.

EMRO's mandate is to rescue and rehome Native
Egyptian Maus, Arabian Maus and Shirazi Maus, and all intakes are at the sole
discretion of the founder: you may contact at info@emaurescue.org. Please note that
EMRO, although a non-profit organization, is NOT government funded and relies
solely on the donations and good will of those using its services. We are a
small shelter and have very limited spaces for intakes. Pet quality Maus remain
available through EMRO to any one interested locally or worldwide in helping
save a Mau who satisfies our basic screening application and who are able to pay
for its expenses to get to their new home (we operate on a cost-recovery basis). However EMRO will also often recommend to a
potential adopter to also consider the Native Egyptian Mau breeder closest to them (please check NESMA).

This tough and brave little kitty was originally named "Tuffy" because of his strong spirit and love of life after suffering alone, shaking in a box from hunger and head injury. His rescuer took care of him, watched over him, and fed him kitten replacement milk, which he is still receiving. He is now being watched and cared for at the EMRO shelter. |

Dido is the offspring of Misha and Misho (siblings), and is barely one-year-old. The owner has allergies, requires long-term care, and must have the Maus removed immediately from her home. Dido did have cataracts but the veterinarian has improved the vision in the left eye and is working on the right eye. He appears to have allergy/reactions to fish, milk, cheese and yoghurt, but he enjoys eating dry food. Surprisingly, he also enjoys other foods such as meat,
chicken, and liver. Plus, he will eat vegetables like potato, peas, carrots, rice,
bread or pasta mixed together. Dido is very tame, loving and sweet. |

Born from a litter of 4 kittens in a prestigious private golf club in Zamalek (downtown Cairo) who is systematically exterminating all the cats that are straying around the club (as observed and reported by a German ex-pat jogging around the grounds), including Siamese and Shirazi Persians that are dropped there by wealthy clients. These kittens were scheduled to be placed in sacks, beaten with iron bars, and thrown into the river. Saja and her siblings were an emergency, mercy in-take with the help of another shelter, ESMA. Saja is an active, loving, and inquisitive little kitty. The litter is very loving and friendly, very sociable and we are hopeful of new homes quickly. Perhaps a couple can be rehomed together as littermates? Note: Little Saja is crossed-eyed.

Born in Tanta close to a family who found other
street Mau cats for EMRO. An orphaned stray, she
became friendly and hung out in a nearby garage
or shop. Sadly, she was run over by a bicyclist,
and this dislocated her left shoulder, so she walks
disjointed a bit. The shoulder has set that way
and the vet thinks she is not in pain and has learned
to compensate for the injury. A bit shy, but very

Emergency in-take. This brave, young kitty is Bella, another victim of abuse in Heliopolis. She was abused so horrendously (she was once found with a wire tied around her neck) that the stress caused her to lose her fur. She is currently boarded at EMRO, being kept under observation, but will not be returned to the neighborhood where the abuse
took place. Note: Bella has a tumor on her stomach (possible really bad ringworm). The Vets are hopeful that she will be strong enough to spay once her health has improved. This will facilitate the removal of the tumor. The EMRO Administrator has reported that Bella does allow gentle people to pat her, so she appears to be tame, only skittish because of her trauma. If Bella survives, she will be released around EMRO after spaying which is scheduled for this Fall.

This lovely and unique-looking Shirazi has received her rabies and combo vaccines, plus she has been dewormed and received anti-flea medication. Cassie was brought in by a "local" to sell, however one of Cassie's legs was swollen and she was limping. Fortunately, an EMRO Sponsor was in the shelter at the time, bought Cassie, and paid for her boarding until an adopter can be found. Cassie still limps a bit, but it is becoming less noticeable. Cassie's sponsor does not wish this kitty to be adopted in Egypt because she states that "they will only keep cats as long as they are still young
and nice looking, but when they grow old, they will give them up, or worse,
throw them in the street." |

Emergency in-take. This sweet momma cat was discarded by her "family" to fend for herself and was found half-dead with starvation, valiantly trying to nurse her hungry kittens. They were all rescued by Ms. Jocelyne in Heliopolis from neighbors who hate cats and were poisoning and torturing them. Momma Molly will soon be receiving her vaccinations and is scheduled to be spayed. Note: Molly has a tumor/cyst on one of her nipples. This will be removed upon her spaying which is scheduled for this fall.

Emergency In-take. This is 8-week-old Lucie, a Mau-mix kitten that was rescued by a kindly Egyptian gentleman who took her away from her owner who was constantly abusing and torturing her. As you can see, she is very gaunt-looking, but she still has enough trust in humans to walk towards the photographer. She has recieved both her physical check-up (she is healthy) and has been given her vaccinations.
Are you interested in adopting a sweet, young kitten who has known only torture and hunger during her very short lifetime? |

This little Mau-mix kitten was found abandoned by its mother when she moved her litter from an abandoned building. This little baby was kept in a clinic office for 2 days during a weekend. A male clinic worker observed the kitten going from one person to another at the clinic, asking to be petted or begging for food. The worker reported that the kitten was "taking his share from all kinds of shoes kicking from people" because they were "afraid of this dirty creature". The male worker took pity on this sad little kitty, gave him a bath to remove his fleas, and fed him saying that the kitty was hungry "all the time". As you can see, this little baby is really a beautiful little feline. Very tame. Currently under quarantine. |

came neutered. Indoor/outdoor cat, who prefers to have
access to outside. He will panic if kept inside all the

good with dogs. Terry has been placed outdoors on EMRO HQ grounds. |

Calli is a sweet cat, she hangs around
outside and in of EMRO HQ. She was found by the staff
being chased by some bully cats and coaxed down
from scaffolding. She has hung around ever since.
Calli had an intestinal hernia which was fixed when
she was spayed. She would really enjoy her own home where
she could go in and outside, and perhaps with another companion
that she could gradually warm up to - perhaps a laid
back older cat. Good indoor/outdoor pet! |

are now adored pets. Their owner considers herself very lucky to have such kind and
playful babies. Ayyub is awaiting finding his own special human. |
