INTRODUCING THE
ARABIAN MAU CATS
Native cats of the UAE and Arabian regions.
Ms. Petra Mueller, the president of The Middle East Cat Society (MECATS) worked hard to breed 4 generations of local cats to prove the originality of its genes. After various meetings, discussions, presentations and submittal of proofs, the World Cat Federation ( http://www.wcf-online.de) recognised the local cats of this region as a pure breed, they are now officially known as the Arabian Mau.
MECATS now hopes that these special cats of this region will not be abandoned as street cats anymore.
Aims of MECATS
-
To bring together cat owners, breeders, cat clubs / associations and cat lovers of the Middle East, under one banner to look after the affairs of cats, as per international norms.
-
To educate cat owners and breeders, the right way and methods accepted by the WCF.
-
To conduct exhibitions, competitions, meetings and seminars in the Middle East area.
-
To issue certification of breed and class of cats.
-
To support activities for the betterment of the cat population.
-
To stop cruelty towards the stray cats and bring an awareness among people regarding all aspects about the cats.
At the moment MECATS has over 170 cats in their care. Here are just a few!
Arabian Mau cats are available for adoption worldwide; there are lots of gorgeous cats looking for forever homes. If you think you can give one a good home, please email mecats@gmail.com or call 00971 (0) 506462904.
MECATS is planning to set up an Arabian Mau Homing & Care Centre in the near future. The prime objective of the centre will be to create awareness about the Arabian Mau and their welfare. We can but hope that one day the Arabian Mau cats will be appreciated in their own country and given the recognition they deserve.
Now meet the two people who are doing all the hard work behind the scenes.
Shree Nair & Petra Mueller
Hopefully through our small art donations, we can contribute to making the Middle East a kinder place for the Arabian Mau cats to live.
