About the Savannah
The Savannah is a hybrid breed created by crossing African servals with domestic cats. They’re one of the largest domestic cat breeds.
Savannahs are tall, lean cats with long legs, large ears, and spotted coats. They can jump up to 8 feet high from a standing position.
These cats are highly intelligent and active, requiring lots of stimulation and space. They often form strong bonds with their owners.
