Adoptable EMRO Cats - Updated January 30, 2012

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 view the updated cat biographies. (Pictures with a borders around them indicate there are two pictures available for viewing. Place your mouse over a picture, when the arrow changes to a hand, click on the picture to view the second 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.

German Flag aniKlicken Sie hier für die Adoptionsinformation auf Deutsch. Um unsere "Zu Adoptierenden Katzen" auf Deutsch anzusehen, klicken Sie hier.

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 Egyptian and Arabian Maus available for adoption under Dubai Arabian Maus  and Saudi Arabia (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. Escorts are given a stipend of USD $50 (USA/Canada) or EURO 30. See Escort a Mau.

Unable to adopt? If you live in the Cairo area, EMRO is urgently looking for foster homes for some of our cats and kittens who would do better in a temporary, nurturing home environment. If you are interested in becoming a Foster Parent, click HERE.

Cats, kittens, and "Special Needs. Special needs" felines designated with the below cat icon indicate that they have Sponsors who have graciously volunteered to pay their travel costs out of Egypt. Potential Adopters need pay only the basic adoption balance plus the Pet Escort fee (if applicable) to get their adopted felines home.

NOTE: The Founders of EMRO have decided to put aside some funds which will assist a number of cats to get to their destinations by paying for their travel expenses (upon successful adoption, of course). These funds will assist Adopters, both locally and internationally, to successfully adopt a Mau where money is an issue or is an insurmountable barrier to successfully getting their Mau home.

If any of these needy felines are adopted locally, then the funds will pay for their full local adoption. Any remaining monies will automatically roll back to helping other cats, especially on a wait list, to have available funds placed next to their bios. This will also serve to "bump up" those kitties currently waiting in line to max out at $400 or $450, if possible (i.e., half of the cost to ship a cat to North America)."

Have more questions? See our Frequently Asked Questions page, located here.

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 NESMAweb site).

Special Needs. Special needs

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 sweet.

Type: Bronze Native Egyptian Mau-mix
Gender: Male - Neutered
Age: Approx. DOB May 1, 2010
Comments:

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.

We heard about this cat who was friends with Nousa from someone else doing animal outreach, but she was in the process of moving to the UK. Ginger has been placed outdoors on EMRO HQ grounds.

Faithful and Patient Calli

CalliEMRO 611

Cat SilEMRO Paypal will donate $200 towards Calli's overseas adoption costs.

Status: Available - Sponsored by Rebekah, U.K.
Type: Nile Valley Egyptian Cat
Gender: Female - Spayed
Age: born July 2005

Comments:

 

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!
Also, you may view our "Off-site Maus and Non-Mau" cats that are currently in foster homes and not at EMRO. However, all are available for both adoption and sponsorship. Click on Off-site Maus and non-Mau cats.
