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.

Boosey has an eye infection and was kept caged outside. She was depressed in the cage but after a bit of attention, she brightened considerably. She is a small and affectionate little Mau and is currently in boarding at EMRO receiving eye ointment for her left eye. (Note: Boose means "kiss" in Arabic; i.e. "Kissy").

Emergency in-take. This little girl and her siblings were rescued by Ms. Jocelyne in Heliopolis from neighbors who hate cats and were poisoning and torturing them. Little Marina will be receiving her vaccinations and a medical check-up.

An intake from Alexandria where a kindly worker/student rescued him from being removed from the restaurant area he was in, even though Prince was tame and friendly with the clients. Prince awaits his forever home with some lucky adopter. Prince is now buddies with Noha.

Munchkin is 6 months old and was born in Alexandria. She has patches of white on her forearms, side, and tummy. This kitty had been previously adopted, but was returned by her Owner after three days because the Owner indicated that she did not have the patience to deal with this very energetic, young kityy with the beautiful almond-shaped eyes.

Cute and friendly.

Cute, friendly, and very confident, this alert kitty was adopted at EMRO as one of the shelter's "ambassadors". Unfortunately, his adopter is unable to home him, so she has placed him up for adoption. Tony is clean, litter trained, loves people, and only wishes to have his "own" person to bond with. He is up to date with his vaccinations.

Emergency in-take. This sweet kitten and his siblings were rescued by Ms. Jocelyne in Heliopolis from neighbors who hate cats and were poisoning and torturing them. Makou will be receiving his vaccinations and a medical check-up. Note: Little Makou is missing his left eyeball due to eye injury, disease or neglect/ abuse.

Cute, shy, and friendly.

This well fed and very friendly kitty was rescued from the streets by Ms. Jocelyn who brought her in knowing she might not survive alone and without a human Guardian. Jossie is friendly to other cats, very friendly with people, healthy, a little pudgy, and is litter trained. Jossie is awaiting her vaccinations. Jossie has a slight limp in one of her legs, but the doctor stated that it is temporary.

This kitten was dropped off at EMRO by a car that quickly sped away! Dusty is healthy, happy and has been released in the outside section of the EMRO compound.

Update: Dusty disappeared around February, during the Egyptian revolution but has now returned to EMRO. This kitty is fiesty, sweet, but a survivor of the revolution!

After missing for several years, Betty has returned!! Back and annoying the other cats with her feisty ways. She was one of the first cats to come to EMRO when the shelter was founded, but then she disappeared within the first year. She returned once about 1-2 years ago, then disappeared again.  It is believed that she lives across the park but has redis-covered that food is serve promptly 5:00 PM at EMRO! She is affection-ate to people, allowing her back to be petted, sometimes jumps up to have her head patted, and she rubs against people’s leg. Betty is sometimes moody/ tempermental, sometimes friendly, but can turn around and bite an ankle. This bow-legged beauty is otherwise special, as she one EMRO’s originals, like Cali, still around!

This kitty was rescued by Ms. Jocelyn from the streets of Heliopolis. This kitten is the daughter of Hoda. She has received her Combo vaccines, her bath, and is litter trained.

Playful and friendly.

This beautiful Tuxedo kitty was brought it by Ms. Naura from Dokki. He is clean, a little shy of strangers, but sweet and calm. He has received his Combo and Rabies vaccine and is ready for adoption.

This skinny, youngster was rescued off the streets of Mokattam by our Ms. Gloria who found her too young and too well socialized (with people) to be left on the street. She has been vaccinated, is being treated for ringworm, and will be allowed to join the other kitties in the courtyard as soon as her ringworm disappears. A very friendly and loving young kitty.

This handsome fellow is all grown up, enjoys and prefers hanging around EMRO, and enjoys sitting on customers laps as if saying "Take me home!". He is quite friendly, but might scratch a bit if someone tries to remove him before he is ready. Otherwise, Erik is very tame, friendly and we are hoping that he finds a home soon. He is currently roaming the grounds, perhaps "shopping" for a Guardian.

This little baby was brought in by Ms. Randa along with the Mama Cat, Randa, and her siblings. She is shy and excitable, but is sweet, and is described as clean and healthy. Litter trained.

This little lady is sister to Eric and Ernie and is also from Tanta. However, she has tamed up quite a bit and is now avalable for adoption. She is being given her physical evaluation and will be receiving her vaccinations. More info soon.

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.

FelFel means "Pepper" in Arabic. Felfel's rescuer, Ms. Ayda, rescued this little kitty after seeing him run after people, thinking they were his owners. His rescuer saw children kicking him and saw one old woman hitting him several times with her shoe. Ms. Ayda picked him up and observed how tame he was. Felfel is described as friendly with both people and small kittens, he is a very curious kitty, enjoys play-hunting, likes dry cat food, and is litter trained.
