CFA Egyptian Mau Breed Council
News
UPDATE: 99 Lives study to investigate Issues with ammonium urate stones has been approved!!!!
Funding needed for next steps!
Egyptian Mau breed made it to
the genetic study that has been started 2 weeks ago with a full genome
sequencing as a first step. That has been done and completed.
this information will be used to search for information on the issue with
ammonium urate stones. Additional funds for the study (among 16 new
studies) are required. The total required for (lab works ) our study is $2000
USD. As of March 1, 2018 there was $250 USD of funds collected. The study
needs more obviously.
Any small donation will help.
The final goal of this is to have a test available for future generations of
Egyptian Maus (and other breeds) so that this causal gene is no longer in their
gene pool.
Remember to identify the study as shown below when donating.

Information on PK Deficiency in Egyptian Maus - Egyptian Mau breeders and owners asked to participate
We would very much like to put together a database of Cats within the breed so that we can track status if possible and would love it if you would share your results so that we can try to track all of this. You can send results to emau@emaucats.com . We also encourage all breeders to test their cats before breeding so that we can effectively manage this and ideally breed away from it without decimating our genepool Link to test

rescue cats -
while most Egyptian Mau breeders act responsibly and do their best to take care of their cats/kittens as well as provide assistance, support and advice for their pet owners, we periodically find ourselves in a position where there are Egyptian Maus in desperate need of new homes. Providing a home for one of these special cats can often be a win/win situation with the opportunity to do a good deed AND get the chance to experience the wonder of this incredible breed.
