The Middle East Cat Society (MECATS),is preparing to set up a Homing & Care center for the Arabian Mau Cats, in the UAE. These native cats of the Arabian region, which has been approved by the World Cat Federation (WCF) in 2008 as an accepted international orginal breed, is diminishing in numbers as their natural habitats are replaced by development projects. This orginal breed needs to be cherished as they belong to this region. MECATS is planning this Arabian Mau Homing & Care Center, in order to home these cats who has no homes or owners any more,and to advise the owners of Arabian Mau cats as to how to take care of this special breed. This center would also make available for people who would like to own an Arabian Mau cat, a suitable one. This center will interact with International Breeders around the world who are interested, to breed the Arabian mau Cats. To create awareness about the Arabian Mau cats and their welfare to people around the world would be one of the prime objective of the Center.
