Higher generations of Savannahs, like the F1, have significantly more serval genetics. F2s, on the other hand, have a serval grandparent and their mother is an F1 Savannah. F1 Savannahs, for example, have one serval parent and one domestic cat parent, making them 50% wild cat. Every generation of any hybrid cat is marked with a filial number that correlates with how far removed said generation is from a wild cat. Their size can actually vary based on generation and sex and like other hybrid cats, first-generation Savannahs possess more of the exotic serval traits than later generations. Their legs and bodies tend to be very long and one Savannah was even documented to be 19 inches tall, making it the tallest domestic cat! As far as size goes, many Savannah cats take after their wild side and can get quite large, weighing anywhere from 8-30 pounds and standing quite tall. But the most unique trait for these cats? Their spotted coats! These coats are typically brown, tan, or gold but other colors include rosette, marble, and cinnamon. Their ears are tall and sit right on the top of their heads while their eyes are hooded and flat across the top.

By 2001, The International Cat Association was registering Savannahs and the breed gained full TICA recognition eleven years later.Īs far as looks go, Savannahs have an incredibly unique one. It was after this partnership formed that other breeds, like the Egyptian Mau, Bengals, and Oriental Shorthairs, were used to further develop the Savannah breed. However, it wasn’t until the early 1990s that the breed really started being developed when Patrick Kelly and Joyce Sroufe joined forces. The resulting kitten was named Savannah, which is how the breed got its name. Savannah cats originated in 1986 when a Bengal breeder named Judee Frank in Pennsylvania crossbred a Siamese domestic cat with a serval, a medium-sized African wild cat.
