About My Savannah Cats: 

Kittens are well socialized: plenty of hands-on handling during that critical period of 2-8 weeks, my kittens are all born and raised indoors in my home. Some kittens may be bottlefed. A deposit is required to hold the kitten of your choice. I accept Paypal and all forms of checks for a deposit.

I am in Virginia. I am happy to drive to meet people from surrounding states such as MD, PA, DC, TN, OH, or KY if that will help to avoid a flight. But I do ship kittens if necessary, currently only within the US, kittens must be at least 11 weeks to travel by air.

Ask to see photos of prior kittens from my momma cats, to get an idea of what they may look like as adults.

How are my Savannh kittens different from others: My kittens all trace back to my own original cross of  maine coon breed girls to a serval.  The maine coon breed is large and mellow tempered. (But despite Maine Coons having long hair, my kittens are all short haired because long hair is a recessive trait.)

I have just a small number of F2 and F3 litters every year,  usually 2-4 litters.

More about me : I am a dog and cat veterinarian working 1-2 days a week, part time stay at home mom, and part time Savannah cat breeder. My human/cat family is located near Charlottesville, VA.

About Savannah Health: I have not found Savannahs to differ in their veterinary or nutritional needs from regular cats. In particular I've been breeding for nearly 20 years and my kittens have not ever had problems with any kind of vaccine or anesthetic. Please be aware though that sensitivities to medications can be a heritable phenomenon: just because my own lines of cats have not had problems does not mean if you buy a kitten elsewhere you can ignore any warnings the breeder may give you.

In general the Savannah cat breed appears to not have frequent problems with any one disease or disorder. Several genetic issues have come to light as coming in from other breeds during the early days of breeding, and breeders are now actively working to eradicate these by testing and restricting the breeding of any affected or carrier kittens. My kittens come with a comprehensive health guarantee that includes a guarantee against PK deficiency, PRA, and any other congenital problem that could come to light up to one year of age. 

Feel free to write me and ask any questions at all on the Savannah cat in general or my kittens in particular, whether or not you are interested in a kitten at the time.
