CLEAR ALLSavannahs are tall, lean, graceful cats with striking dark spots and other bold markings. They are a hybrid of a domestic cat and a medium-sized African wild cat. While classed as a domestic cat breed, they look like their ancestral source, the African Serval, but smaller in stature.
This cat breed stands out for their large pointed ears and their spotted golden, black or silver smoke coat. They are affectionate and energetic, with a remarkably long neck and legs, tall ears, and a medium-length tail. The Savannah is both uncommon and beautiful. Moreover, they are also extraordinarily graceful and well-balanced.
Savannahs are intelligent, determined cats that can sometimes be headstrong whenever their curiosity gets the best of them. So, don't be surprised if your Savannah can teach themselves to open cupboards and doors, turn on faucets, flush toilets or knock small items off of a shelf to see what happens.
Savannahs are sociable and loyal. They bond deeply with their families and human companions and are known to greet them at the door and follow them from room to room to see what they are up to. However, they are far too active to be lap cats and they enjoy their personal space. Instead, they prefer to be near their human companion rather than on them.
This cat breed is known to be a challenging yet rewarding feline companion to own. So, note that if you desire to have a low-energy cat to snuggle with you all day, think twice about purchasing a Savannah.
They have a lot of energy and require regular physical and mental stimulation. They are created by crossing an African Serval with a domestic cat and then breeding their offspring to other cat breeds such as Oriental Shorthairs, Egyptian Maus, Ocicats, and others. Savannah cats are a new breed, recognized by The International Cat Association recently in 2012.
It’s important to note if Savannah cats don't get the activity and exercise they need, they may get bored and make their own fun. Thus, they can be a little destructive and even develop unwanted behaviours around the house.
For a hardworking human companion who can keep up with this cat's needs, Savannahs make a high-spirited, lively family member with a lot of affection to give. They are an excellent choice for families with older children because they match the energy of this age range. For individuals that tend to be away most of the day to work, a companion such as a cat-friendly dog or another cat can be a great playmate for a Savannah.
Savannahs are classified as generations ranging from F1 to F4. F2, F3 and F4 Savannah cats are legal in the UK, however, they are illegal in some US states.

While a Savannah may look small and cute as a kitten, these felines get big! As adults, they can weigh anything between 12 and 25 pounds, and they will grow to about 20-22 inches long and 14-17 inches tall. Their size and weight depend on their generation, though, with later generations typically being smaller.
Savannahs have a slim but athletic build with long legs and well-defined muscles. They have a short to medium-length spotted coat, which will be either black and brown, black and silver or black-smoke.
Savannahs have a small head and a long neck. Their ears are large, round and erect, and their eyes are almond-shaped with a faint hood and a dark tear duct line. Savannahs live just as long as other domestic felines, between 12 and 20 years, depending on the quality of their care.
When many people think of a Savannah, one of the first questions that come to mind is, “are they dangerous?” Of course, being a new cat breed coming from African cat descendants, it’s normal to have this concern.
It’s important to note that different generations of Savannah cats can be bred and sold. First-generation (F1) Savannahs are technically half-wild, whereas later generations, such as F2, F3, and F4, are more domesticated. With each new generation, the Savannah becomes tamer, easier to care for, and less likely to act dangerously or aggressively.
In Great Britain, Savannah ownership is legal for F2, F3 and F4 generations. However, only people with a Dangerous Wild Animal Licence can own the first-generation Savannah. The breed is banned in some US states, or only F4 and later generations are legal.
Savannah cats develop solid bonds with their owners and are as loving and affectionate as other domestic cats. They always like to be in your presence and make loyal companions that will follow you around the house. Some Savannahs can be fearful of strangers, whereas others are more confident. The key is to ensure your Savannah kitten gets plenty of exposure to different humans from an early age.
Savannahs are highly intelligent and curious kitties. They can learn to open cupboards and doors, so you’ll need to find a good hiding place for their food! You can also train your Savannah to walk on a leash or even to fetch. These clever kitties need new challenges regularly and frequent exercise, so taking them for walks on a leash can be a good idea.
Savannahs require a lot of attention and can be pretty demanding. So, if you don’t have much free time and are not home regularly, a Savannah is not a good choice. Likewise, they can be an overwhelming pet for those becoming kitten parents for the first time.
It’s a misconception that Savannah cats are dangerous. These kitties are not savages in the slightest, but they can be destructive to their surroundings if they do not get the attention and playtime they require. Therefore, a Savannah is best suited to owners who have plenty of free time, do not work full time away from home, and have experience with cats.
Savannahs also need a larger living space than other domestic cats, so they are not suitable for those who live in small apartments. In addition, they love to jump and can leap up to 8 feet high thanks to their long legs. Therefore, standard cat trees may not be sufficient for a Savannah, so it’s best to fit some elevated platforms for them to explore and perch on.
