To educate cat owners and breeders, the right ways 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. MECATS in the past 4 years conducted the study on the local cats of the Gulf area and proposed to the WCF to accept them one of the International Cat Breeds with the name ARABIAN MAU. Ms. Petra Mueller, the president of MECATS took considerable efforts to breed 4 generations of the local cats to prove the originality of its Genes. After various meetings, discussions, presentations and submittal of proofs, the World Cat Federation has accepted the local cats of this region as a pure breed and will be know as the Arabian Mau. We thank the WCF and hope that these special cats of this region will not be abandoned as street cats anymore.
