At A1Savannah, all of our cats are carefully bred for health and temperament. So no matter which cat you choose, you can expect a quality pet whom you will love and treasure. We can work with your financial constraints to determine the right cat and the right price point for you. Other Factors That Affect Price Higher filial F1-F3 generations tend to be more expensive, but this is not the only determining factor. Some color patterns are more desirable than others.
Specific genetic combinations can also be more desirable. In general, the rarer the cat, the higher the price will be within each filial generation. If the pricing is too good to be true it usually is. There are many scammers out there. Furthermore, with a discounted cat you could end up spending much more money on veterinarian bills and cat training. The results can be disastrous.

Contact us today! Diet Savannah cats need to be fed a high quality cat food in wet and dry form. Here at A1Savannahs our cats diet is typically a combination of a wet, dry and raw meat. The Kittens will get a high nutrient, well balanced wet and dry food as well as cooked chicken.
Our Adults get a grain free dry food offered all day as well as a variety of wet food and raw meat once a day. We do recommend that you use a product with no corn as it is hard for the cats to digest and could cause intestinal problems.
Litter Training All of our kittens are fully litter box trained prior to going to its new home. The kittens will stay with their mothers for a minimum of 6 weeks and the mothers do a great job teaching the little ones the ropes. We use a wood pellet form of litter which is all natural and a great natural deodorizer. Vaccinations All of our kittens are properly vaccinated prior to leaving our cattery. All of our kittens are also vaccinated against Rabies for their first year and dosed monthly for protection from fleas, heartworms, roundworms Toxocara cati , hookworms Ancylostoma tubaeforme , and ear mites.
Vet Care Please inform your veterinarian that you are purchasing a hybrid feline, so they can prepare and educate themselves for your new kitten. Savannah cats can potentially have smaller than average livers due to the Serval Ancestry, which can increase the risk of side effects with certain medications.
Your veterinarian must use caution when using certain medications for surgical procedures. An isoflurane gas or an injectable anesthetic protocol that is specific to exotic or hybrid bred felines should be used. Your veterinarian is always welcomed to consult with our cattery veterinarian before any procedure.
Please contact us for further information, if needed. Please Do Not Declaw! Please educate yourself completley before making the decision to declaw your feline. Declawing is actually an amputation to the first joint of the toe and we do not recommend it. Declawing can cause numerous health problems as your kitten gets older not to mention extremely painful all though out the cats life. There are several other ways to prevent your kitten or cat from scratching your furniture.
Hybrid Laws and Regulations Since Savannah Cats are a fairly new breed and some are considered Hybrid cats, please consult your local fish and wildlife department for the hybrid laws and regulations in your area.
Please note that each state, county, and city has different regulations and can change frequently. Check hybrid laws and regulations in your area by visiting: www. Registration Codes When breeding Savannah cats the specifics can become very confusing. Here at A1Savannahs we no longer use any other breeds other than Savannahs and Servals. Since we only breed Savannahs and Servals we will only have our Ancestry and Hybridizations Record codes as follows.
Ancestry Record Code: The cat has at least one unknown or unregistered parent. BO- The cat has at least one grandparent of a different breed. CO- The cat has at least one great grandparent of a different breed. Stud Book Codes: SB- The cat has no cats which are unknown, unregistered, or of another breed or breed group within a standard three generation pedigree.
Codes: The Following Codes apply to the third position of the pedigree status code. T- Traditional: Only the breed in question within a three generation pedigree V- Variant: Crosses outside the breed but within the group within a three generation pedigree P- Permissible: Crosses outside the breed or breed group which are permitted by the breeding program which has been established for the breed.
N- Non-Permissible: Crosses outside the breed or breed group which are not among those which are specifically allowed by the breeding program which has been established for the breed. Such crosses may be used in foundation breeding programs but are by definition considered non-permissible.
A — the cat is a product of two different breeds 1 — one parent is not registered, which is the serval, but can now be registered for breeding purposes only S — because it is an outcross to a species other than Felis catus , which again is the serval.
Sizing of a Savannah Cat 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 inherit from the Serval. They get about two and a half times larger than domestic house cats, with their weight from 15 to 20 pounds, and occasionally, over 25 pounds.
F3 males are often still considerably bigger than a domestic house cat. We have produced F3 males ranging in the lower twenties with their weight but rule is 15 to 18 lean pounds. F3 Female Savannahs, and all cats of further generations decrease in size but keep their long legs, big ears and the wild appearance.
Before the savannah cat became recognized as a domestic breed by TICA, these alpha- numeric designations were used by breeders to categorize their cats by generation. For example, an F1 cat is one generation from a serval and so on. Savannah cats are classified by their generation so breeders and prospective buyers like you can better predict temperament, coloring, and exotic markings.
The F1 cat is the largest hybrid offspring of a serval-to-domestic mating. An F2 cat has at least one parent that is an F1. An F2 cat may not be quite as large as the F1 but will still retain many of the other characteristics of an F1. An F3 cat, again not as large as an F2, although still large, is even more domestic than an F1 or F2. F3 cats tend to be even more friendly with young children than the higher generation cats, and as such would be a great cat to start with for a family.
Every cat registered with TICA has a registration or code number. In basic terms for a savannah:. A kitten that has SBT Stud Book Traditional in its registration code has at least three generations of savannah-to-savannah matings in its pedigree. Not as large but still sizable, the F3 is friendly to children and other animals.
They make a great companion for long walks with a walking jacket or cuddling on the couch to watch TV. After the third generation, the other Savannah cat generations seem to maintain about the same size and still keep that acute mind and curiosity. F plus a number seems to be the most often used and also the most confusing. The F in the Savannah cat stands for filial, not foundation. F1 is the proper use of the symbol and the use stems back to Mendelian genetics.
F is for Filial and 1 for the first-generation offspring of the hybrid. If all breeders used the correct subscripts for the generations it would be more accurate.
However, that is difficult and cumbersome and all breeders use the F and the 1 and most likely do not even know the subscripts should be used at all. The numbers, subscripts or not, stand for how many generations away from the original out-cross in this case the serval any particular cat may be.
F1 is obviously the son or daughter of a serval when talking about Savannahs. F2 is the grandson or granddaughter, and F3 is a great-grandson or great-granddaughter, and so on.
This can get tricky if you breed the daughter F1 of a serval to a great, great, great-grandson F5 of a serval, however. A chart is most likely the best way to understand:. Choose the generation of one cat in the column and the generation of the other cat in the row and where the two meets will be the generation of the two cats being bred. Another way to explain is to take the cat with the smallest F-number and add one. For example an F2 in one column matched with an F6 row meet at F3, that is F2 the smallest number plus one.
The next information and charts can get a bit complicated and there is not much I can do about it. I will try to be as clear and concise as possible and the charts will help. Every cat registered in TICA has a registration or code number. Once understood the code is very easy to learn precise information about an individual cat.
The following is important to understanding Savannah registrations.
