Topic: Savannah Kittens - The worlds largest domestic cats (Read 4139 times)

Why aren't you listed on TICA's breeder archive? Is it because you haven't signed the TICA code of ethics? Sounds super shady. I bet your papers are counterfeit; I'm almost certain there were laws passed in the 30th Congress about this very thing.

5 Days left to sell the last kitten. Dont miss an opportunity to bring one of these majestic animals into your home for a quarter of what they would normally cost. Baxter needs a girlfriend before he starts trying to impregnate the couch. 

7 days left to sell the last kitten guys. P.M. me if your interested

Hi Jefferson,

It is different with every litter across the breed and a lot depends on the size and bloodlines of the parents. On average and F4sbt ( the kittens from this first litter ) are about double the size of the average domestic cat, but that is just an average. Much like dogs, you can look at their paws when they are born and get a good idea of their size as a full grown adult. So if you wanted a larger cat you would pick one from the litter with larger paws. Savannahs take about 3 years to reach their full size as their average life expectancy is normally 15 to sometimes 30 years.

As our stud Baxter is a silver with heavy white undercoat and the Female is a solid buttery yellow with black spots like the Serval is, we expect a mix of colors in the first litter, and a few larger than average kittens due to both parents 5 generation pedigree.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

These cats look so cool. I have 3 "normal" short hair domestic cats. How big do these grow in comparison to the average feline?

I am not one to normally be confrontational, but you are wrong on many different levels.

First, all Savannahs except those purchased for breeding need to be fixed (spayed or neutered). They are half wild African cat and when the hormones kick in they are very territorial if not fixed, hence spraying everything. (this is the part where you reply telling me that he was fixed, in which i reply in advance your veterinarian did it wrong)

Second, a savannah is NEVER an outdoor cat. It is people who put them outdoors who have 0 understanding on what this cat is and have no business in owning one in the first place. Furthermore it is those people who end up giving these cats a bad name.

Lastly, and let me make it very clear  AN AFRICAN SERVAL IS NOT A PET AND NOT A HOUSE CAT THAT YOU LET ROAM AROUND IN YOUR HOUSE. Even when bread domestically, they are still a very wild animal. Sure some people keep them as pets and it ends up being just fine, but i have had phone calls from previous customers who bought a serval because it was "more exotic looking and bigger" and even though they have had it for years with no issue, they are now locked in their bathroom begging for help because the cat got a wild hair up its @$$ and is attacking everything that moves, after which the animal ends up getting put down for no good reason because some idiot with more money than brains bought a "exotic looking" cat. Servals are kept as breeding animal ONLY to breed across the domestic line to get F1's to further refine a breeders bloodlines. Over the years we have had to rescue 3 Servals from morons who thought they would make a good house pet. All of them in which the minute we got there to get the animal, we could clearly tell that they too were part of the more money than brains crowd.

In closing, People who buy a cat because they are exotic looking and big are idiots. Savannahs make great pets because of their unique personalities, very similar to a dog, their intelligence and because of their playfulness.

I dont mean to be abrasive, but everything you typed just screams more money than brains which is a very common plague that the savannah breed suffers from. And your advice to "buy a serval" is the dumbest and worst advice that anyone could ever give. Just last week in California a family had their 3 month old baby taken from them by the state because they posted a picture of their serval in the bassinet with their daughter like it was cute or something. Both parents are now facing jail time.

I had an F3 savannah and he was super cool.   The only problem is that he did not play nice with other animals at all.   He would try and fight any animal that he could find.   

Also they are supposed to be good at being potty trained, but mine would literally piss on everything he could find.   It got to the point where I had to let him be an outside cat, which is one of the major no-nos with these cats.   He would go banging on neighbors windows in the middle of the night and try and fight their animals.

One night he ended up not coming home    I think he ended up trying to take on some coyotes.

If you have the home and can pull it off (legally), or are not afraid to just go around the law (in some states), an African Serval is the way to go.   They look way more exotic and get much bigger. 

Just a quick bump. Found a wonderful investor and in doing so, only need to sell 1 kitten from the first litter. If anyone is interested please message me.

Thank you to whomever just sent the $200 donation. Every little bit helps Baxter get a girlfriend 

Just a quick bump, still have some kittens to sell guys. Thank you to all whom have donated so far.

Unless your talking about savannahs, as by 12 weeks they are normally the size of a small adult cat in the earlier generations.

I'm pretty sure miniature cats are known as kittens

Still looking to sell a few kittens guys. Looks like i might have one investor but not for the full amount.

Thanks for the advice about the UK, I'll definitely keep you in mind if we decide to get one in the future. All the best!

Thanks protokol, We would still be willing to sell you a kitten in the UK. DEFRA ( your countries governing body towards hybrid animals ) recognizances F4 and later generations of Savannahs as domestic cats. In which these kittens although SBT's will still be F4's. If you would be willing to spend some time getting to know each other so i know the kitten would be going to a good home we would be willing to wave the "you must pick the kitten up" rule. Depending on where you live in the UK there is a company that we have used before that ships live animals in a humane manner all over the world and the shipping usually runs from $300 to $800 USD.

Thank you for the donation, it means the world to us and Baxter. Even if not on this first litter, please keep us in mind in the future as we will always accept bitcoin as payment for our kittens and for the right persons would have no problem doing business in the UK. Too many savannahs over in the UK are not pure breeds, they are mixed with Bengals or come from cat farms where you can never tell if your kitten is a true savannah with only savannah to savannah breeding which has a huge impact on their temperament and personality.

I love these cats, been looking at getting one myself but unfortunately I'm in the UK. I'm a cat person and the Mrs is more of a dog person, we agreed that a Savannah would be an awesome compromise. Good luck with your mission, sent you a small donation.

Baxter might just get his girlfriend home afterall. We would still like to sell some of their first litter though guys. It would make our days to pass on the joy we have got to experience ourselves in owning these amazing animals. You guys are all wonderful and thank you to all for the donations.

 You have made our day and gotten our Baxter one step closer to getting a girlfriend. If you wouldnt mind PM'ing me your address we would love to send you a thank you gift from Baxter.

Thanks for all the reply's guys.

My wife wanted me to add that if any single person wanted to be just a short term investor and offer a loan of $4,800 usd that we would repay a full $7,000 either before or at the time of her first litter. From an investors standpoint that is better interest than 90% of investments you can make, and with any amount of research you can tell that these kittens sell faster than they can be bread so there is no worries of us not being able to have the capital to re-pay the loan.


Also if any of you know of any better ways to run a fundraiser or to better market our search for a short term investor please send me a message. I am very new to all of this and dont have any idea what i am doing and could use all the help i can get. My wife and i would be devastated if i couldn't pull this off some how and i feel as if i am just reaching at straws here. 

That is one cute puddy-tat in the OP.
