The Intriguing Ancestry of Exotico Savannahs
At Exotico Savannahs, we take great pride in the extraordinary heritage and origins of our beloved Savannah cats. Our cats come from a long line of incredible ancestors, resulting in their exceptional beauty, intelligence, and affectionate nature.
The Origins of Savannah Cats
Originally bred by crossing domestic cats with African servals, Savannah cats are the perfect combination of elegance and wildness. This unique hybrid breed was first developed in the 1980s by a passionate breeder named Judee Frank.
Through careful breeding and selection, Frank aimed to create a cat that possessed the exotic appearance of a wild African serval, while maintaining the temperament and suitability for domestic life. The result was the birth of Savannah cats, a breed that quickly gained popularity for its striking appearance and charming personality.
Distinctive Features and Characteristics
One of the most remarkable features of Savannah cats is their stunning coat, which often resembles that of their serval ancestors. With beautiful markings and a luxurious, spotted or marbled pattern, Savannah cats attract attention wherever they go.
In addition to their striking appearance, these cats possess a range of remarkable traits. Known for their exceptional intelligence, Savannah cats are highly trainable and notorious for their playful and curious nature. Their social and affectionate personalities make them wonderful companions, and they exhibit a remarkable loyalty to their human families.
