My story

Sweet Rio!

Rio was a very young kitten when he came into the facility and has been there since. All of Rio's brothers and sisters were able to be rehomed, but not Rio. He was very shy and insecure and would hiss and run away from other cats and people and acted almost feral. When Marcia arrived, Rio came out of his shell. He follows her everywhere and copies her. He now asks for pets from people, plays well with other cats and is dependent on Marcia.

Rio is almost a year old, neutered and UTD on his vaccines. We would like Rio to be adopted with her. Please let one of our team members know if you’re interested.

Why adoption is a great option

Rio, a London Egyptian Mau cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Egyptian Mau for sale in London, or seeking a Egyptian Mau cat from a breeder in London.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in London already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a London breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Egyptian Mau breeders who help with Egyptian Mau rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in London paves the way for another one to be saved.
