The Nile Valley Egyptian Foundation Inc. is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit, 501(c)3, no-kill and life-enhancing cat rescue group located in the United States of America.

"The purpose of the Egyptian Cat Rescue of America (NVEcats) is to (physically) rescue, assist non-government organizations (NGO) and advocate (through education) for the endangered native Egyptian Mau, and Nile Valley Egyptian Cats." We support and work with Non Government organizations (NGO) who have rescued and placed thousands of abandoned, abused, stray and shelter cats and kittens in Cairo Egypt and surrounding areas.

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 available. The cost for their care and sheltering in a Foster Home will be $300.00 for a single cat, and $450.00 for bonded pairs. We also request that the Adopter agree to follow-up visits and updates which will be made by a representative from NVEcats. We wish to do everything possible to make ensure the animals we adopt out place find the best possible homes and Pet Parents once they leave our care.
