Adoptable KSA CATS: Arabian Maus! (updated August 26, 2010)
EMRO is working in conjunction with Saudi Arabian (KSA) organization
PAWS, a grassroots group in the East Gulf dedicated to helping the
abandoned and orphaned tame cats, dogs, birds and other animals
needing new homes, especially when those ex-pats leave and cannot
take their pet with them.In some cases we come across Maus, Mau
mixes and Orientals that need rehoming, and we will post them on
this page.
The Founders of EMRO currently travel between Cairo and KSA and
can act either as pet escorts between the two locations or keep
interested adopters aware of potential pet options from this often
hard-to-reach corner of the globe. Pet escorts can be occasionally
obtained to Europe and America, as there is a thriving foreign expat
community here. Pet preparation for travel is similar to that from
Cairo. Most are neutered/spayed already by PAWS, but the adopter
would have to pay for vaccines and travel costs. Usually need a
minimum of 30 days to travel while pet escort sought.
Maus from Saudi Arabia are often interbred with local Orientals,
creating a subgroup of native Maus now known as Arabian Maus.
This group is now recognized as a breed of their own! For more information
see: http://www.mecats.net/arabiabMau.asp.

Mork and Mindy Looking for a Home of their Own!
Mork and Mindy
 |
 |
Both Mork and Mindy turned up on their rescuer's doorstep a week ago. Initially, she thought they were stray kittens, no collars on them, but after taking them in for something to eat, they gradually stopped shaking, began to relax, and she realized they they were too tame and had obviously been handled before. Both Mork and Mindy are litter trained, are very lovable and affectionate, not to mention lively, inquisitive and very entertaining! It is preferred that both Mork & Mindy are adopted together to keep each other company, but they have also bonded.
Mindy is described as a bronze Arabian Mau-mix, 3 months of age, 2 to 3 kilos, litter trained and very friendly. Mork is described as a Mau-mix, mostly white, 3 months of age, friendly, inquisitive, and litter trained.
If you are interested in adopting this charming and friendly duo, please call Briege at 874-7442 (W); 875-1823 (H); or 050-420-1310. Email contact is at breige.mcgill@aramco.com.
Beautiful TIGER - Needs to be Socialized!
This is Tiger. Tiger is a gorgeous male bronze Arabian Mau spotted on the compound earlier in the month. Unfortunately, Tiger is feral, but we are hopeful that someone will come forward to work with him for possible taming/breeding.
Tiger "chats" alot. Tiger was trapped once and managed to be fitted with a collar, and was vaccinated. But the collar fell off. We are currently looking for donations of cat collars with more secure fastening so that we may be able to provide our feral cats with collars and avoid capture of the Pest Control, as they will trap, remove, and kill strays without
collars. Tiger is estimated to be about 2 years old.
NOTE: Tiger is a feral cat; needs to be trapped and tamed likely by someone local in the Khobar/Dammam area, especially if residing on the Oasis Gardens compound itself. If interested, please contact Info@emaurescue.org.
Buddy looking for Forever Home in KSA
Buddy is a sweet, young cat of about 6 months, he is neutered and has a friendly temperament. He was one of two kittens raised by Riadha, his mom, but his brother, a gray fluffy fellow, got separated and lost one morning -
perhaps after sleeping inside a car's engine and dropping off places
unknown. Buddy (he is a buddy to everyone) almost got lost a couple
times when about two months old, due to high winds and storms, he
panicked and ran away. But he was eventually found 2 blocks up and under a car and retrieved. Buddy is an indoor/outdoor cat and loves attention and play. White with
black marks, almost the same as his mom!
