Adopting a Egyptian Mau

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Egyptian Mau - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

It costs around $100 to $500 to adopt an Egyptian Mau from an animal shelter or rescue group. The adoption fees might include the cat’s vaccines, spaying or neutering, and microchipping. Conversely, it can be prohibitively expensive to buy an Egyptian Mau from a breeder, between $1,000 and $2,500 for a pet-quality Egyptian Mau kitten.

The easiest way to adopt an Egyptian Mau is through a rescue that specializes in Egyptian Mau. You might also be able to find an Egyptian Mau in an animal shelter or general cat rescue. A great place to start is by creating a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Egyptian Mau in your area.

Egyptian Mau fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Egyptian Mau's back legs are slightly longer than its front legs. This probably helps them run fast -- Egyptian Maus have been known to run at 30 mph!

An exiled Russian princess Nathalie Troubetskoy is responsible for saving the Egyptian Mau breed from extinction following World War II.

"Mau" is the Egyptian word for "cat."
