Rare Servals
&
Special Savannahs
The serval cat comes in three color phases. Melanistic, brown spotted which is the
most common and White which is very rare.
The savannah comes in more colors as the domestic influence adds a myriad of
colors to the hybrid cross.
The black or melanistic serval is just that ,"black" and does have spotting
pattern like the goldens which is visible in strong sunlight.

savannah kitten
The white serval is a true white similar to the white tigers this is
related to the albino gene. The savannah breeders have chosen to mimic this
color by introducing the silver gene which is not the same .
The white savannahs and serval have a white coat with beautiful muted spots at
maturity .This color should not be mistaken with the domestic white masking gene .
Kittens are born virtually spotless and as they mature the spots appear clearer
.
This is the newest kitten born.Dunkin lives with Marie and goes everywhere with her .
Here is Isis our first white female. She is considered non standard as the white
serval and savannahs are not yet recognized .They are few in numbers and quite
rare.
She was born pure white and I have hand raised her from birth.
6 weeks old her pattern is starting to show
10 weeks old
Although she has "red eye" in this picture she has the most beautiful blue eyes
I have ever seen.
12 weeks old as you can see her spots are arriving.
8 weeks old.
Being the white savannahs are not considered acceptable with the TICA registry
if we produce any more white savannahs they will be available to approved pet
homes.
Isis will remain here with us. We are smitten with her beauty.
