Savannah Kittens From IWanna Savannah, a TICA Savannah Cat Breeder

Tortoise Town customers love animals with a wild look and a gentle nature, which is a fair description of a well-raised Savannah cat. Our sister business IWanna Savannah is an in-home cattery based out of Kansas City and run by Melissa Morris, who has cared for animals since childhood, from orphaned baby bunnies to foster kittens with special needs.

A serval hybrid with a big personality

Savannahs come from crossing the African serval, a cousin of the cheetah, with a domestic cat. They inherit the serval’s tall legs, long body, short tail, large ears and solid black spots. The site describes the serval’s behavior as dog-like: smart, loyal, playful and often fond of fetch, leash walks and water. Savannahs carry much of that personality while still using a litter box like any house cat. Depending on generation, adults weigh about 10 to 30 pounds.

Generations explained

IWanna Savannah specializes in HpF1, F1 and F2 Savannahs and also produces F3 through F6. An F1 is the closest generation to the serval and is the cattery’s biggest and most popular cat. The traditional brown spotted tabby (BST) is the main color, in warm golden and cool tones, with melanistic and silver kittens appearing on occasion.

How Savannahs differ from Bengals

The cattery points out that Bengals descend from the much smaller Asian leopard cat and stay near ordinary cat size, with shorter legs, round heads and rosettes. Savannahs are taller and leaner, and the breeder finds their temperament more manageable as household companions.

Every kitten includes

  • TICA registration and a two-year health guarantee
  • Two rounds of vaccines and dewormer, a vet check and negative FIV/FeLV testing
  • Litter box training, a 16-page kitten care guide, a blanket and a toy
  • Parents genetically tested NN for PRA and PK-Def
  • Microchip, harness training and a harness for F1, F2 and F3 kittens
  • Lifetime advice and guidance

Kittens are raised alongside the whole family, including four young children, so they grow up sweet and socialized.
