The African Serval

Stately and majestic, the Serval with its noble carriage, oversize ears, mile-long legs, and striking jet-black spots nestled in a lush butternut coat is sheer magic. Once you’ve seen just one Serval, you’ll know why the Savannah was created. No other hybrid can come close to fulfilling the drama and yearning for breathtaking, wild elegance!

The Hybrid Savannah breed has allowed the every-day person to capture a part of the wild and co-exist with it in their home.

The Savannah is a cross breed between Serval and a domestic feline, they are smaller and more manageable than a Serval, larger males can range from 15 to 20 pounds, females from 9 to 17 pounds. However, because of their tall, lanky, attenuated body type, even the lightest weight Savannah appears much larger and heavier than it actually is.

The Savannah is one of the largest hybrid cats available today.

That is Largest in Personality!

Can You Say Personality....!

The personality of the Savannah is Bright, inventive, intelligent, even ingenious, playful, charming, and intensely energetic, the Savannah is very dog-like and readily trainable, most love to play fetch, ride in cars, and relish outdoor walks on a leash. Actually a Savannah can be very much like a water-loving dog who’ll wrestle you for the garden hose, splash around in your morning shower, or wade through your bathwater. And their ability to leap straight up into the air is awesome. Savannahs expect to becoome a part of your family and long to be involved in every activity and aspect of your life, they are not your typical house pet. Once you havae one you will soon want another!

I have found that the F-generation does not matter as to size. I have an F5 male who weights in at 20lbs.

The number one question that most breeders are asked is “How big do savannah cats get”?

My answer is always the same…there is no guarantee on size and the number one myth about Savannah cats is that they are HUGE – most are not!

The largest cat breed is the Maine Coon – the largest cat in personality is the Savannah cat!

If you aring for a very large cat, a Maine Coon is what I suggest…that is not to say that some savannahs are not big cats – some are…but most are not and if a breeder guarantees you that your savannah kitten will turn into a very large savannah adult, be sure to get it in writing.

Since the size of a savannah cat continues to be the number one question breeders are asked, here are my thoughts:

I cannot guarantee the size of any of my kittens

If size is the only reason you long for a savannah cat, then please rethink your decision

A savannah kitten that is the largest in the litter, does not translate into becoming a huge savannah adult – one of the smallest savannah kittens in one of my litters is now larger than all his siblings as an adult

Savannah cats are so much more than size – they are fun, loving, smart, entertaining, intuitive, did I say smart?, gorgeous, personality plus and just all around a wonderful animal to own. They become part of your family and soon you wonder how you ever lived without one – and then you get another!
