EGYPTIAN MAU CATS
are the oldest known descendents of the domestic cat, existing
since Pharaonic times, and they are the only naturally occurring
small spotted cat in the world.
However, Maus are facing possible extinction. In their homeland,
they are currently unrecognized, routinely poisoned, and often
suffer from endemic feline diseases. Outside of Egypt, many
Maus are also endangered due to interbreeding and lack of
new bloodlines (see History).

Formed in 2004, EMRO is officially
registered as a non-profit charity in Egypt, an NGO (Non-Governmental
Organization) with charitable number #6196 effective August 23,
2005. EMRO is dedicated to rescuing these descendents of the sacred
cat of Ancient Egypt (see Who We Are).
EMRO is an adoption agency both locally
and internationally for tame Maus. Supported solely by the generosity
of private and corporate donors, EMRO aims to increase education,
in Egypt and around the world, about these magnificent and intelligent
cats.
URGENT:
EMRO is looking for Mau flight escorts leaving from Cairo,
Egypt,
for destinations in Europe and the US in July and August.
