HYBRID EXOTIC CAT COMING TO YOUR TOWN

We hope to be the first Savannahs breeder in Asian region. Our family are cat's lover and we dedicated our simple life just to be around our cats. Our Savannahs will join our cattery by the end of 2011 stage by stage and hopefully, we'll have a few F3, F4 and SBT's next year. We have very close relationship with established breeders from US and UK, thanks to them we manage to get their prized and exceptional savannahs breeders.

SavannahsBengals

Bengals (a Cross between the Asian Leopard Cat and a Domestic) were the rave of the early 1990’s.

In the UK and Europe, Bengal Cats cost tens of thousands of pounds, especially the early generations. As a luxury and rare cat, only movie stars, famous people and the wealthiest in society had the desire and finances to afford them.  They were something special. Wild looks, domestic temprement.

Ten years later, Bengal rarity turned to plentiful, prices dropped dramatically and they became the most common pedigree in the UK.

Something else was about to take the stage. Savannahs.

Descending from a Serval and domestic cat cross, a much easier to tame and better marked cat per generation, the Savannah, offered so much more.  Up to 3 times larger and markings on a par with big Jungle cats. Personality was also more interesting.

The issue was producing enough of them. The Serval being eight times the size of a domestic cat, with a gestation period 10 days apart, made the hybridisation exercise much more difficult than producing the Asian Leopard Cat X Domestic cross (the Bengal).

Savannahs are the hybrid of the 21st century. Being in short supply, and the best specimins normally on waiting lists only, they are now the rarest and most expensive recognised cat hybrid in the world.
