What is A Savannah Cat?

A Savannah cat is a cross between an African Serval and a domesticated house cat. Savannahs are noted for their tall and slender bodies and their big ears. It is one of the newest breeds in the world and there are just a few breeders worldwide that have achieved their goal of successfully mating a Serval to a domesticated cat.

All Foundation Savannahs have an F and a number associated with it toindicate how many generations it is from its Serval ancestor.

F1 (~53% Serval)
F2 (~29% Serval)
F3 (~16% Serval) and so on.

What is a SBT Savannah?

The History of the SBT Savannahs started at A1 Savannahs. An SBT is also bred down from the Serval but it is at least 4 Generations removed. While many Savannahs F1 through F5 are diluted with blood of regular house cats.The SBT Savannah is a "pure" Savannah that has guaranteed only Savannahs as parents for at least 3 Generations. The size or appearance of an SBT Savannah can be compared to an F4 or an F5 Savannah but there are several advantages to owning an SBT. SBT Savannahs are more consistent in their type. Personality and size are better forseeable and the temperament is predictable. An SBT Savannah is the perfect choice for a family with other pets and children.

How Big Does A Savannah Get?

The size of the Savannah Cat depends very much on the size and type of their parents and also of the percentage of wild blood they have from the Serval. The biggest cats are F1 Savannahs and males of the F2 Generations. They get about 2 and a half times larger than regular house cats, with their weight from 15 to 28 pounds, and occasionally, over 30 pounds. F3 males are often still considerably bigger than a regular house cat. F3 males can ranging in the lower twenties with their weight but rule is 15 to 18 lean pounds. F3 females and all cats of further generations decrease in size but keep their long legs, big ears and the wild appearance. Savannahs need up to 3 years to reach their full size.

Do Savannahs Get Along Well With Other Pets or Children?

Savannahs are very adaptive cats. They get along with well-behaved and respectful children and if your current cat or dog is social, your new Savannah will most likely end up sleeping in the same bed.
