Overview
-
- Savannah Cats are a spotted domestic cat breed started in the 1980’s. Developed to give the impression of grandeur and dignity of an wild cat with a cheetah type appearance, expressive eyes highlighted by dark tear stains, vibrant coat colors, solid contrasting black spots, huge sonar-like ears and long legs. Since 2006 they have held the Guinness Book World Record for the world’s tallest domestic cat.
- Breed Standard calls for all traits to mimic those of it’s ancestor the African Serval. The goal of the breed is to obtain a well rounded temperament yet wild-looking breed that makes a suitable alternative to a exotic pet. Poorly developed bloodlines can be mistaken for Bengal Cats, which have an opposite body structure to the Savannah.
