Welcome to Savannah Island Cattery!          
F6B Female Savannah Savannah Cats are a new breed created by crossing an African Serval with a domestic cat. Subsequent generations are carefully bred to maintain the exotic look of the serval in a smaller, domestic pet. These beautiful Savannah Cats make a wonderful addition to the right family. They are high-energy, intelligent, playful, and curious. Savannah Cats can easily be taught to fetch and go for walks using a secure harness or "walking jacket." They will steal your heart and enrich your life.
I first learned about Savannah Cats when I was looking into African Servals. Living in California, where ownership of exotic animals is strictly regulated, I knew that the Savannah Cat was the next best thing. Now, after owning and being owned by several Savannah Cats and Kittens, I know it IS the best thing. They bring so much joy into your life; now I can't imagine being without them.

F3B Female Savannah
F1A Female Savannah   Savannahs are taller and lankier than most domestic cats, and can weigh anywhere from 12 to 20 lbs., depending on the breeds used to produce them. They have large ears, and a long graceful neck to go with their elegant long legs. Savannahs can be brown or silver spotted, or black or "smoke." Brown spotted Savannahs can range from a warm gold to a cool greyish-brown coat. They will get along fine with respectful children and other pets. "F" numbers are a shorthand way of expressing how many generations a particular cat is from it's serval ancestor. The offspring of a serval and domestic cat are called the "F1" generation. F2's have a serval grandparent, F3's a serval great-grandparent, and so on. Although females are generally fertile, the males are sterile until approximately the 5th generation. Our queen Lindy is an F1, and our brown spotted Savannah stud  Treasure, is an F7
