Yes. Our breeding cats undergo extensive health testing before entering our breeding program to help produce healthy kittens with strong genetics.

Absolutely. Our kittens are raised inside our home with daily handling, household experiences, and social interaction to help them develop confident, affectionate personalities.

TICA stands for The International Cat Association, one of the world's largest feline registries. Registration provides documented information regarding a cat's breed and pedigree and helps maintain accurate records across generations. For buyers, registration provides important documentation regarding the ancestry and breeding history of their kitten. Eligibility and registration classifications can vary by breed and Savannah generation.

Savannah Cats are a recognized breed, but early-generation Savannahs are not classified as SBT (Stud Book Traditional). F4 SBT and later generations that meet the required pedigree criteria are considered SBT Savannahs. Our F1 Savannahs are produced from African Serval × Savannah Cat pairings, and our F2 Savannahs are produced from F1 Savannah queens × Savannah studs. We do not introduce unrelated domestic breeds into our F1 or F2 breeding program. Our breeding program is intentionally maintained through established Savannah bloodlines.

Yes. Savannah cats are intelligent, affectionate, loyal companions that thrive in homes where they receive attention, enrichment, and interaction.

No. Properly bred and well-socialized Savannah cats are known for their confidence, intelligence, curiosity, and strong bonds with their families rather than aggression.

Yes. Most Savannah cats do very well with respectful children when introduced appropriately.

Absolutely. Many of our kittens are raised around dogs and transition beautifully into dog-friendly homes.

Yes. With proper introductions, most Savannah cats adapt very well to living with other cats.

Yes. Many Savannah cats naturally enjoy harness and leash training and love exploring outdoors safely with their owners.

Savannah cats are athletic and intelligent. They benefit from climbing, interactive toys, enrichment, and daily play.

Yes. We strongly recommend keeping Savannah cats indoors or allowing supervised outdoor time using a harness or secure catio.

No. Adult size cannot be guaranteed. Savannah Cats can vary significantly in height, weight, body structure, and overall size, even among kittens from the same litter. Generation, genetics, sex, nutrition, and individual development can all influence mature size. F1 and F2 Savannahs often have the potential for greater height, length, and overall presence than later-generation Savannahs, but no breeder can accurately guarantee the final adult size of an individual kitten. Part of the Savannah's impressive appearance also comes from its long legs, tall ears, elongated body, and athletic structure, so a Savannah may appear considerably larger than a domestic cat even when its weight is not dramatically higher.

Savannah Cats mature more slowly than many domestic cats and can continue growing and filling out for up to three years. While much of their height and length develops earlier, their body may continue to gain muscle, structure, and overall maturity well beyond the kitten stage. This means a young Savannah may still have significant growing and filling out to do, even after their first birthday. Early-generation Savannahs, particularly F1 and F2 cats, are known for their tall, long-legged, athletic build and can become substantially larger in overall stature than a typical domestic cat. However, every Savannah is an individual. Generation, genetics, sex, nutrition, and development all influence adult size, and no specific height or weight can be guaranteed.

Our kittens leave for their new homes only after they are fully weaned, age-appropriately vaccinated, healthy, confidently socialized, and developmentally ready. Most kittens are ready to go home between 11 and 14 weeks of age, although timing may vary depending on each kitten's individual development and overall well-being.

Yes. We are happy to help coordinate safe transportation for your kitten through trusted pet transportation services. The buyer is responsible for all transportation costs associated with delivering their kitten. Pricing varies depending on the destination and the transportation method selected.

Absolutely. Many families travel to Las Vegas to personally pick up their kitten.

A quarantine and gradual introduction period gives your new kitten time to decompress, adjust to unfamiliar surroundings, and become comfortable with the sounds, smells, people, and routines of the new home. It also allows you to monitor eating, drinking, litter box habits, behavior, and general wellness before introducing the kitten to resident animals. Your kitten should initially have a quiet, secure space of their own with food, water, litter, bedding, toys, and hiding areas. Introductions to other pets should then occur gradually rather than immediately.

Luxury Savannahs is committed to ethical breeding, strong genetics, health, early socialization, transparency, and lifelong support. Every kitten is raised with great care to become a confident, healthy, and well-adjusted companion.

Yes. Our commitment doesn't end when your kitten goes home. We are always available to answer questions and provide guidance throughout your cat's life.

For the health and safety of our kittens, we do not offer open cattery visits. However, we provide extensive photos, videos, FaceTime appointments, and regular updates so you can confidently choose your kitten.

Yes. Families looking for future litters can join our Waitlist to receive priority selection before kittens become publicly available.

No. While Savannah Cats, particularly F1 and F2 generations, are our primary focus, we also proudly raise carefully selected XXL European Maine Coons. Both breeding programs are held to the same high standards for health, temperament, structure, and overall quality to ensure every kitten receives the very best start in life.

Luxury Savannahs is proud to incorporate these standards into our breeding program and the experience we provide to our families.

Yes. We love keeping families involved as their kitten grows.

Yes. Luxury Savannahs maintains social media accounts where we share kittens, cats from our breeding program, educational content, updates, and behind-the-scenes moments. You can find the official Luxury Savannahs accounts through the social media links in the site footer.

Both breeds make incredible companions, but they are very different. Savannah cats are highly intelligent, athletic, curious, and interactive. They enjoy climbing, learning, leash walks, and being involved in everyday life. Maine Coons are often more relaxed, gentle, and easygoing while still being playful and affectionate. The best choice depends on your lifestyle, activity level, and what you're looking for in a companion.

Many first-time owners find Maine Coons easier because of their calm and adaptable personalities. Savannah cats thrive with owners who enjoy interactive play, enrichment, and spending lots of time with their cat.

Both breeds are affectionate. Savannah cats often form strong bonds with their families and enjoy following their owners throughout the house. Maine Coons are gentle companions that love spending time near their people while generally having a more relaxed personality.

Savannah cats are considerably more active and athletic than Maine Coons. They enjoy climbing, jumping, puzzle toys, training, and interactive play. Maine Coons are playful but generally have a calmer energy level.

Both breeds are among the largest domestic cats. Maine Coons typically have a heavier build, while Savannah cats are taller, leaner, and longer with an athletic body structure.

No cat breed is completely hypoallergenic. However, some allergy sufferers report fewer reactions to Savannah cats because they often shed less than many traditional breeds. Individual allergies vary, so we always recommend spending time around the breed before making a decision.

No. Maine Coons are not considered hypoallergenic and produce the same primary allergens found in most domestic cats.

Yes, but many Savannah cats shed less than many traditional cat breeds. Regular brushing helps minimize shedding and keeps their coat looking beautiful.

Their long coat benefits from regular brushing to reduce tangles and loose hair. Most owners find weekly grooming keeps their coat healthy and beautiful.

Many Savannah cats form especially strong bonds with one or two family members, although well-socialized Savannahs can become affectionate companions for the entire household.

Many do. Some enjoy curling up beside their owners, while others prefer simply being close. Every cat has its own unique personality.

Yes. Savannah cats often chirp, trill, chatter, and communicate in unique ways rather than simply meowing.

Yes. Like most cats, they can stay home while their owners are at work, especially when provided with enrichment, climbing opportunities, toys, and plenty of interaction before and after you're away.

Some are, while others prefer sitting beside you rather than directly on your lap. Every Savannah has its own personality.

Many Savannah cats are fascinated by water and enjoy playing in sinks, showers, or even shallow pools. This is one of the unique traits many owners love about the breed.

Many Savannah Cats and Maine Coons can live very successfully with other cats and cat-friendly dogs when introductions are handled properly. Individual temperament, age, previous socialization, the personality of the resident pet, and the introduction process all influence compatibility. We cannot guarantee that two individual animals will become companions, but gradual, controlled introductions provide the best opportunity for a successful relationship.

With excellent nutrition, preventative veterinary care, and responsible breeding, Savannah cats commonly live between 12 and 20 years.

Most Maine Coons live approximately 12 to 15 years, with many living even longer when properly cared for.

Responsible breeding, health testing, preventative veterinary care, and quality nutrition all contribute to producing healthy Savannah cats.

We provide detailed feeding recommendations when your kitten goes home, including the food they are currently eating to help ensure a smooth transition.

No. Savannah cats receive the same routine veterinary care as other cats, including wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and regular dental care.

Savannah Cats and Maine Coons generally follow core feline vaccination recommendations similar to other domestic cats. FVRCP is a core combination vaccine protecting against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia. Kittens typically receive an initial series of FVRCP vaccinations, with timing and boosters determined by age and veterinary guidance. Rabies vaccination requirements vary by age, location, and applicable law. After your kitten goes home, establish care with your veterinarian and follow their recommended vaccination and preventative-care schedule based on your kitten's age, medical history, lifestyle, and local requirements.

Unless a kitten is specifically sold with approved breeding rights under a separate written agreement, pet kittens are required to be spayed or neutered according to the terms of the purchase agreement. The appropriate timing should be discussed with your veterinarian while also following the requirements stated in your Luxury Savannahs contract.

No. Spaying or neutering a kitten at a younger age does not cause them to stop growing early or remain smaller. Reproductive hormones play a role in signaling the closure of growth plates as a cat matures. When a cat is spayed or neutered before physical maturity, some growth plates may actually close later, allowing certain long bones to continue developing for a longer period possibly making your cat grow larger. Both Savannah Cats and Maine Coons are slower-maturing breeds and may continue growing, filling out, and developing well beyond their first year. Their size as a kitten or young adolescent should not be considered their final adult size. Early spaying or neutering does not stunt a kitten's growth, and the timing of altering should not be used as a method of increasing or predicting eventual adult size. Adult size is primarily influenced by genetics, sex, nutrition, breed or generation, and individual development.

Yes. Savannah cats can thrive in apartments as long as they receive plenty of enrichment, climbing opportunities, exercise, and daily interaction.

Yes. We strongly recommend keeping Savannah cats indoors or allowing supervised outdoor time using a secure harness or catio.

Absolutely. Many Savannah cats naturally enjoy harness and leash training and love safely exploring outdoors with their owners.

Like all cats, they require appropriate scratching surfaces. Providing sturdy scratching posts and cat trees greatly reduces unwanted scratching.

Yes. Savannah cats love climbing and benefit greatly from tall, sturdy cat trees and elevated spaces.

Yes. Many of our kittens are raised around dogs and transition beautifully into dog-friendly homes with proper introductions.

Yes. Most Savannah cats adapt very well to living with other cats when introductions are handled properly.

Savannah cats require excellent breeding stock, extensive health testing, specialized nutrition, veterinary care, early socialization, and responsible breeding practices. Earlier generations are also significantly more difficult to produce, making them naturally more valuable.

Look for breeders who prioritize health testing, veterinary care, registration, written contracts, health guarantees, transparency, socialization, references, and lifetime support.

Ethical breeders prioritize the long-term health, temperament, genetics, and welfare of every kitten rather than simply producing litters.

Availability varies throughout the year. Joining our Waitlist is the best way to receive priority access to upcoming litters before they are publicly announced.

Our litters are planned throughout the year, but exact timing and availability cannot be guaranteed. Breeding, conception, litter size, coat colors, sex, and healthy delivery are all determined by nature. Upcoming and planned pairings can be viewed on our Future Litters page. Families interested in a future kitten may also join the appropriate pre-birth waitlist when available.

Yes. The health of our kittens begins with the health of our breeding cats. We carefully screen our breeding program using appropriate health testing and work closely with our veterinarians to help produce healthy, well-adjusted kittens.

Our kittens are raised inside our home, not in outdoor kennels or isolated breeding facilities. From their earliest days they experience daily handling, household sounds, socialization, enrichment, and interaction that helps build confident, affectionate personalities.

We intentionally keep our breeding program small so every kitten receives individualized care, proper socialization, and the attention they deserve. Quality has always been more important to us than quantity.

Yes. Early socialization is one of the most important parts of our breeding program. Our kittens are introduced to everyday household experiences, different people, routine handling, grooming, and play so they transition confidently into their new homes.

Absolutely. We believe adopting your kitten is just the beginning of our relationship. Whether you have questions about nutrition, behavior, training, introductions to other pets, or general care, we're here to support you throughout your cat's life.

F1 and F2 Savannahs are significantly more difficult to produce than later generations. F1 Savannahs are produced from a Serval and a domestic-line Savannah queen, making successful breeding highly specialized and unpredictable. Differences in reproductive biology, behavior, timing, pregnancy, litter size, and neonatal development can make these litters particularly challenging. F2 Savannahs are also difficult to produce because they are bred from F1 Savannah females, which retain a high degree of Serval ancestry and can present many of the same breeding challenges. Successful litters may be small, breeding attempts do not always result in pregnancy, and producing healthy early-generation Savannah kittens requires considerable experience, planning, and specialized care. Their limited availability is one reason F1 and F2 Savannahs are particularly sought after.

Yes. Our Maine Coons are purebred Maine Coons from established Maine Coon bloodlines. Our breeding cats are also genetically tested as part of our health-focused breeding program.

Many European Maine Coons grow to be very large with impressive bone structure and substantial muscle. Individual size depends on genetics, nutrition, and overall health, but European bloodlines are widely recognized for producing some of the breed's most impressive cats.

Absolutely. European Maine Coons are known as gentle giants. They are affectionate, intelligent, playful, and typically get along wonderfully with children, dogs, and other cats.

Their luxurious coat benefits from regular brushing to reduce tangles and loose hair, but otherwise they require the same routine veterinary care, nutrition, enrichment, and love as any other cat.

Savannah cat ownership laws vary depending on your location and the generation of the cat. We recommend checking your local and state regulations before reserving a kitten. We are happy to help answer questions regarding ownership requirements.

The "F" designation refers to how many generations the cat is removed from its Serval ancestor. Earlier generations generally have a stronger exotic appearance, while later generations retain the beautiful Savannah look with increasingly domestic characteristics. Visit our Savannah Generations page for a detailed explanation of each generation.

Pricing varies depending on generation, pedigree, breeding program, and individual kitten characteristics. Please visit our Available Kittens page for current pricing and availability.

Savannah cats inherit their striking appearance from the African Serval. Their tall ears, long legs, spotted coats, and athletic build create the beautiful wild look that makes the breed so unique.

For families looking for an intelligent, interactive, loyal, and truly unique companion, many owners say their Savannah cat is unlike any pet they have ever owned.
