Cairo and Badr are bonded Egyptian Mau mix brothers who have already been through more than any cat should. They were heartbreakingly abandoned at a pet hotel by their former owner and, through no fault of their own, found safety in a private foster home where they have been cared for for the past year and a half.Their bond is deep and undeniable. When Badr needed treatment for a urinary tract infection, he stayed in my home to receive proper care—and Cairo cried for him while they were apart. That says everything about how closely these two are connected. They bring each other comfort, confidence, and companionship, and they must be adopted together.Both boys are affectionate, sensitive, and loyal once they feel safe.

7. Loza Blind
Kitten · Female · Snowshoe / Egyptian Mau / Mixed (short coat) · 39 mi from Willimantic




Meet Loza – A Little Girl Who Sees the World Through Her Heart Beautiful Loza is an adorable 8-month-old female Snowshoe mix with Native Egyptian Mau heritage. She may have been born without sight, but she certainly hasn't let that stop her from enjoying life or giving love. Loza was born blind, and she has been examined by veterinarians on three separate visits, all confirming that her blindness is congenital and that she was born this way.Despite being blind, Loza is an amazing little girl who has learned to navigate her world with her other senses. She is fully litter-trained and knows exactly where her litter box is by its familiar scent.
Read more about Loza Blind
If her box is moved and she cannot locate it, she will simply meow until someone helps guide her back to it. Most importantly, Loza is an incredibly loving, sweet, and affectionate girl. She doesn't know that she's different—she simply knows that she loves people and wants to be loved in return. Loza would do best in a safe, predictable home where her litter box, food, water, and favorite resting places remain in consistent locations. With a little understanding and patience, a blind cat like Loza can live a happy, fulfilling, and deeply loving life. She may not be able to see you, but she will know your voice, your touch, and your love. And once Loza trusts you, you'll have a devoted little companion who will melt your heart. Loza is waiting for someone special to see what everyone else should see—a beautiful, loving little soul who deserves a forever home. Interested in adopting Loza?

Raven is the perfect all black beauty. This tiny baby is a gorgeous, roly poly bundle of minky fur. She is outgoing and affectionate. Raven likes snuggling by her fosters head right when she goes to bed and purrs her to sleep. She is being fostered with her brother Cricket and is definitely the braver of the two. Her foster family has very quickly fallen in love with this little cutie and they know you will too. We can’t wait for this deserving little girl to find her forever family.

How to adopt from Animals for Life, Inc.
All of our prospective adopters must fill out an adoption application and review the application with one of our adoption counselors. The adoption application will enable us to get to know you and your family a little better and help us to better match you with a pet that will suit your lifestyle. We request that all members of a family be present at the time of application. It's important to us that all members of your household be comfortable with the animals that you are considering for adoption. We try to ensure that the animals you are looking at are a safe and compatible match for all members of your family by giving you information about the activity level, training needs and general personality traits of the animals in our care. We try very hard to make the best possible match between your home and one of our pets, so we do reserve the right to deny any application. We also will accept multiple applications on the same animal in an effort to find it the best home. We require written permission from your landlord or management company in the event that you rent your residence. Animals for Life checks veterinarian references and may make a home visit either before or after a pet is adopted. We do not ship any animal. We remain available for assistance and follow-up advice after a pet goes to a new home. Remember, our job begins with an adoption -- we are always happy to hear from you! Our adoption counselors are available to answer any training or behavior question

How to adopt from Nile Valley Egyptian Foundation Inc.
NVEcats,The Nile Valley Egyptian Foundation Inc.(NVEcats), finds homes for homeless, abandoned, and abused cats, rescued from the mean streets of Cairo, Egypt, working diligently to find responsible and loving Pet Parents in the USA. We work with other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) supported charities in Egypt who have rescued abandoned, neglected and abused animals. Almost all of these animals have survived hunger, poisonings, and illnesses before entering the safety of the Egyptian Mau Rescue Organization –EMRO and/or other NGOs. Our adoption process begins with an adoption application which will be provided to any interested adult 21 years of age, or older. We will also require a veterinarian’s reference. We are looking for very special people who truly care about these animals, not as property, but who will be accepted as loving, long-term companions being welcomed into the lives of their adoptive families. Our priority is to ensure the cats will never again need to be rescued, will never be hungry and, most importantly, will never be abused. In order to accomplish this goal, we ask all potential adoptive parents to fully fill out and complete a detailed adoption application. Adoption from NVEcats means that you will be asked to make a tax deductible adoption donation, pay for spaying/neutering, and any other medical care required before the felines are allowed to enter into the USA. Foster homes for cats and kittens newly arrived in the US are also availabl

Adopting a cat in Willimantic
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
