If you come across negative information about us, it is likely because we do not support the unethical practices of those breeders.

About Us
What defines an African Savannah cat for sale?
The African Savannah cats that we sell have are is a unique domestic cat breed that possesses a percentage of African serval wild blood. They hold the distinction of being the largest cat breed globally and are often regarded as one of the most expensive pets. Savannah cats are renowned for their fondness for water, displaying a penchant for swimming and even joining their owners in the shower. Despite their large size, they maintain the affectionate nature and independence typically associated with cats. They effortlessly adapt to using a litter box, and lower generation Savannahs can thrive on high-quality regular cat food. Notable attributes of Savannah cats include their exceptional intelligence, constant purring, boundless energy, inclination towards playing fetch, and their remarkable trainability when it comes to commands. These distinct "Savannah cat qualities" are more prominent in higher generation cats, as they possess a greater proportion of African serval blood. The initial crossbreeding of an African Savannah cat is referred to as an F1 African Savannah, while in contemporary breeding, the serval is bred back to a lower generation Savannah cat.
What is the typical cost of real F1 African Savannah kittens for sale?
The price of genuine F1 African Savannah kittens can range from $15,000 to $20,000, depending on various factors. F2 African Savannah cats for sale, exhibiting resemblance to servals, generally fall within the price range of $5,000 to $10,000. But why are they so expensive?
Apart from the challenges associated with housing and breeding servals, there is no guarantee that a serval will successfully mate with three large female lower generation African Savannahs, even if raised together. Consequently, having one litter per year would be considered fortunate. Moreover, responsibly raising African Savannah kittens for sale to become well-socialized pets poses an entirely different set of challenges.
What is involved in Phase 2 for African Savannah cats?
Phase 2 represents a practice implemented by responsible African Savannah breeders who prioritize the well-being of F1 African Savannah cats and aim to ensure they become suitable companions for their future owners. Around 10-12 weeks of age, the African Savannah kittens are relocated to a second house with a new caretaker to observe their behavior. It is not uncommon for half of the litter to display extreme fear, resulting in concerning behavior that could unsettle prospective owners. Through specific techniques, the breeders work towards acclimating the African Savannah kittens to a new caregiver, just as they were with their original caretaker. Once the kittens overcome their fear of being in a new environment without their siblings and initial caretaker, they undergo testing with another person in the home. If they successfully pass this test, they are deemed ready to become pets.
How do F1 African Savannahs differ from F2 African Savannahs?
The distinctive traits exhibited by African Savannah cats are inherited from African servals. These traits include a strong bond, affectionate nature, exceptional intelligence (sometimes even described as psychic), trainability with commands, ability to walk on a leash, swim, and impressive jumping abilities, reaching heights of up to 12 feet. African servals can weigh up to 50 lbs and stand up to 5 feet tall on their hind legs. These characteristics are more likely to be inherited in the first generation African Savannah cat (F1) compared to the second generation (F2). For those seeking the largest African Savannah cats, it is essential to communicate your preference to the breeder, as we frequently breed giant African Savannah cats for sale.
What is the aesthetic difference between African F1, F2, and lower generation Savannah kittens?
In addition to the qualities I just mentioned, the higher the generation of the African Savannah cat, the more they resemble their wild ancestors in terms of appearance. They exhibit a clearer coat that closely resembles that of a serval, larger ears, and overall increased size, weight, and height.
What is the recommended diet for African F1 Savannah cats?
African F1 Savannah cats require a raw diet consisting mostly of raw chicken and some raw ground beef. They should not be fed raw meat with bones until they reach 1 year of age. Certain canned foods, such as Zupreme, can also be used to supplement their diet.
How are African Savannah cats raised? Do they get along well with dogs?
All our African Savannah kittens are raised in our homes by our dedicated staff of over 20 caretakers, including dogs. We do not keep our breeding animals confined to cages for their entire lives. Our cats enjoy regular swim days and walking trails with our larger cats. African Savannah cats can develop a strong bond with dogs and treat them as part of their own family.
What does "F1" stand for in relation to African Savannah kittens?
We strongly oppose unethical breeders who view these cats as mere sources of profit and subject them to a life of confinement in tiny cages. We are critical of the so-called "Savannah cat cult culture." Unfortunately, around 90% of websites related to Savannah cats are scams. Of the remaining 10% representing genuine breeders, only a mere 2% are truly reputable individuals. Despite their seemingly pleasant demeanor, we have witnessed how they treat every transaction as a business deal. They sell kittens that have not passed phase 2, which means these kittens often fail to become proper pets due to the stress and lack of preparation from their new owners. Such breeders leave the kittens in cages with their mothers and fail to provide them with the necessary love and care to meet breed standards.
How can you determine if your African F1 Savannah kitten will grow to be large?
There is no foolproof way to predict the exact size of your African Savannah cat as an adult. However, if you specifically inquire with us about our giant Savannah cat litters, we can provide you with a well-informed estimate of the size we believe your F1 Savannah kitten will reach.
Why not consider owning an African serval as a pet?
While African servals can make wonderful pets when bred and raised properly, it's important to note that they are illegal to keep as pets in most states. On the other hand, F1 Savannah cats are legal in many states. Additionally, servals can be quite timid around strangers and may require a large outdoor enclosure. Male servals, in particular, can grow extremely large, reaching weights of up to 50 lbs. If you live in a state where owning a serval is legal, be prepared for a long-term commitment of up to 15 years, and ensure you have someone willing to care for a hissing 50 lb cat in your absence. Servals also have a tendency to spray indoors. Despite these considerations, servals possess amazing qualities and powerful energy.
What defines an ethical breeder?
Ethical breeders take the time to make you feel comfortable during lengthy phone conversations. They openly discuss how they raise their kittens and explain the process of phase 2.
Reputable breeders don't typically require a deposit if they have chosen you as the suitable home for their kitten, as the waiting list for genuine F1 Savannahs is often quite long.
How do I select the right kitten?
The truth is, it's challenging to predict how first-generation Savannah cats will turn out. Their growth and development continue for up to three years. Some of the smallest kittens have ended up larger than the biggest ones, and the coat color of some kittens may change dramatically. Facial features can also evolve to resemble a serval more closely. As breeders, we can only provide our best-educated guess. When choosing an F1 Savannah, focus on their personality above all else. The most precious aspect of your new family member will not be their size, color, or facial features. F1 Savannahs have a unique ability to form a deep connection with their owners, which can positively impact your life. While it's true that some F1s may experience anxiety issues, we take pride in not releasing kittens with these issues until they have been rehabilitated, even if it means incurring a financial loss by selling an older kitten.
What is a high percent F1 Savannah cat or Savannah HP?
Savannah HP or High Percent F1 Savannahs are the rarest and most expensive cats. They are bred from an F1 Savannah mother and an African serval father. These kittens require constant attention and interaction from a young age to shape them into loving and affectionate pets. However, there is a higher risk of these cats exhibiting negative personality traits inherited from the serval. There is also a risk of them looking too much like a serval, which may prevent them from being classified as F1s. This is why the 75% F1 Savannah kittens that closely resemble African servals are the most expensive and largest cats in the world. If you are interested in purchasing a Savannah cat, you can reach out to us via text to coordinate a consultation.
Our ultimate goal is to revolutionize the industry by promoting only ethical breeders who prioritize the well-being of animals. We aim to redirect the profits towards establishing a sanctuary for all cats. We deeply appreciate the love these kittens bring into our lives and aspire to channel it towards positive change.

F1 Savannahs – Ethical Serval Savannah Cat Breeders
Dogs and cats exhibit fascinating differences. Dogs, being instinctively pack animals, tend to thrive in groups, while cats are more inclined to be solitary. Have you ever pondered the idea of combining the elegance and poise of a cat with the companionship of a dog?

However, we're here to inform you that this isn't necessarily the case when it comes to Savannah cats. These remarkable felines genuinely embody the finest qualities of both species, offering a unique blend of characteristics.

We are fully aware that the term "breeder" has acquired a negative connotation due to the unfortunate actions of unethical establishments that view animals as mere property. However, we firmly distance ourselves from such practices, and we invite you to explore the videos below to gain further insight into our approach and philosophy.
The Savannah cat, known as the largest among cat breeds, is a remarkable hybrid between a domestic cat and an African wild cat called a serval. Breeders began showing interest in this unique crossbreed in the late 1990s, leading to its recognition as a registered breed by The International Cat Association (TICA) in 2001. Subsequently, in May 2012, the TICA accepted the Savannah cat as a championship breed. The first Savannah cat named Savannah was born on April 7, 1986, through the crossbreeding efforts of Judee Frank, who mated a male serval owned by Suzi Woods with a Siamese domestic cat. The original version of the Savannah breed standard was established in 1996 by Patrick Kelley and Joyce Sroufe and presented to the TICA board, which approved its registration in 2001. TICA's breed standards for Savannah cats specify acceptance of spotted patterns in certain colors and color combinations.
