Please note that do NOT allow casual visitors to our home.  We only allow people who have a deposit on a kitten to visit and interact with our kittens and cats.  We get a lot of requests from people who want to see our cats or kittens, but this is not possible unless you are purchasing or picking up a kitten.As of November 2013, we are no longer able to ship savannahs to any locations, domestic or international.  The USDA has changed regulations so that ONLY COMMERCIAL BREEDERS that are USDA licensed are legally able to ship kittens.  Alabama Fresh Air Duct CleaningSo to buy any kitten or adult cat (or puppy/dog) you must find a breeder close enough to you to pick up a kitten, fly in person to pick up your kitten, or find a USDA licensed large-scale commercial breeder that can ship kittens.Basset Hounds For Sale In East Tn

I do not sell savannahs to locations where they are illegal to own.  Some states restrict ownership to F4 or F5 and later generations. NY and MA do not allow F1-F4 savannahs, NYC bans all savannahs.    to make sure hybrid cats are legal in your state. Savannah cats are a spotted breed of domestic cat, with an elegantly tall, slender, and long body frame. The savannah breed originates from a serval bred with a domestic cat.   A serval is a small species of wild cat native to the African plains (or ‘savannah’, hence the breed’s name). Cheapest Tyres In CarmarthenThe first generation of savannah cats are referred to as ‘F1’ for first generation, and if they are from a 100% domestic mother they are exactly 50% serval.   If a serval is bred to a savannah female, then depending on what generation savannah the female is they will produce F1 kittens greater than 50%.  A 50% F1 female bred to a savannah male produces F2 kittens that are ~ 27-30% serval (depending on how many generations of savannahs are in the stud’s pedigree).  

Similarly, an F2 savannah female produces F3 kittens that may be ~ 14-18% serval or more.  It gets more and more difficult to estimate the % serval the more generations away one gets from the serval ancestor; it depends on how many savannah studs are in the pedigree, and what their genetic background is.  In F4 and later generation cats with multiple savannahs on both sides of the pedigree, you cannot calculate the theoretical serval % with any accuracy.  F4 savannahs could theoretically be 7% serval or they could be much more, but the exact amount is impossible to say because of the way inheritance works, as I explain next. African and North American cat species (and domestic cats, which originated from African Wildcats, Felis silvestris), have 19 different kinds of chromosomes, with 2 of each kind (having 2 sets of chromosomes is referred to as ‘diploid’ by biologists).  So each of their body cells contains 19 pairs or 38 chromosomes total (humans have 23 pairs for a total of 46).  

A sperm and an egg each contain one set of 19 chromosomes (1 of each kind, thus sperm and eggs are ‘haploid’).  When a sperm fertilizes an egg, the newly formed zygote and subsequent embryo cells thus again have two sets of 19 for a total of 38 chromosomes.  When that offspring grows up and produces sperm or eggs themselves, the genes from their parents are first mixed together; the 2 chromosomes of each kind twist together and swap genes – a process called crossover.  Thus, in the eggs produced by an F1 savannah, crossover results in each chromosome having an unpredictable combination of some serval genes and some domestic genes.  Then the pairs of chromosomes are split up and 19 of each is sorted into a gamete in a random way.  So the chromosomes that end up in a particular gamete may have more or less serval genes than the chromosomes put in another gamete…it is totally unpredictable.  Just a few generations of this, and you can see how totally mixed up the serval and domestic genes become.  

There is just NO way of calculating a serval % for these cats, and it is really only a rough estimate in the F2 and F3 generations.  (Yes, I am a biologist and a college professor, so sorry for the lecture). But the objective of a savannah breeding program is NOT to concentrate serval genes (we really do not want to recreate a serval), but to produce a DOMESTIC cat that resembles a smaller size serval  and has the positive personality traits of both servals and domestic cats.   So what savannah breeders do is breed those individual cats together that have at least some traits which resemble a serval, and with each generation we hopefully get closer to our goal.  It will take many more years of this selective breeding however to accomplish this.  In the meantime, we are very fortunate that the F1-F3 personality makes a loving pet that bonds well with people. Because savannahs are produced by breeding two different species of cats together (serval X domestic), the male offspring are sterile for the first 4-5 generations.  

When the breed was started, domestic males of different breeds were bred to savannah females.  After several years of developing the breed however, fertile male savannahs (usually F5, F6, or F7 generations) are now common in most breeding programs. When a savannah is registered with TICA, they are assigned a registration code that roughly indicates the number of savannah to savannah breedings behind that cat.  A savannah female bred to a domestic male or a serval male always has an ‘A’ code because they do not have a savannah parent on both sides.  A savannah with a B code is the result of a ‘A’ savannah bred to another savannah.  When a B savannah is bred to another B or C savannah, the offsping are coded as C.  When a C savannah is bred to another C savannah, the offspring are considered SBT (which is a TICA acronym for ‘stud book traditional’).  An SBT savannah thus has a minimum of 3 generations of savannah to savannah breeding in their pedigree.  As of this update (July 2016), many F4-F7 savannahs at are at the SBT level.
