The Savannah Cat Shoppe – updated 2022.

I had an A1 kitten that died of FIP and have the vet documents to prove it. They replaced the cat, but I had spent over $2000 trying to save him. Now, every time the replacement has a sniffle, I wonder if I’m headed down the same road again.

Response to last comment. I don’t think it is fair to say that sort of thing without hard evidence. Anyone can say things like that on the internet. I have published it to see if you can respond to this comment.

If not I will consider removing it. My own experience with A1 Savannahs indicates something completely the opposite.

Have you asked how many cats sold by A1 are dying of FIP? They do offer a replacement, which is less costly than dealing with the problem, but there are untold numbers of A1 Savannahs that have died of FIP. Probably up into the 100s of cats that have suffered and died a miserable death. Only A1 can tell you that number and they won’t, just as they won’t deal with the problem. This breeder needs to be held accountable for the huge issue that hides its ugly head under all the glitzy and expensive marketing. It is a sad shame.

Do you sell the Savannah cats? I am a cat lover and would love to have one in my family

We would like to say “THANK YOU” to the Thousands of people that have been in our shoppe and who support us.
We have open arms to everyone. Spend the time to come see us if you are able to.

An F1 hybrid of any wild animal/domestic cross is not a domestic animal. The animal must be approximately 5th generation out to be considered domestic again. I agree the “world record” is inaccurate. I personally breed servals and hybrids and there are many other issues to be considered when buying a hybrid. One big issue is the fertility of the hybrid you just purchased. If you intend to breed the animal, you will probably be told that the male is infertile, but will probably not be told that female hybrids may have fertility issues such as difficulty conceiving, difficulty carrying a litter to term, small litter size, etc. These hybrids are subject to state and local laws regarding wild and exotic animals, even if you plan only to own one as a pet. Consult your state department of game and fish and your county/city laws before purchasing one of these animals as permits may be required. Talk to a reputable exotic animal veterinarian as well.

Isn’t it amazing that the ignorant people are the first ones to voice their opinions and show their true lack of knowledge ? And then they do not have the balls to sign their names to the postings.

I have been to the Savannah Cat Shoppe many times as well and I know Lee and Kimbery very well. They are well versed in the breed and they are deeply involved in the promotion of the breed. They do their best to educate the public on the Savannah cats, which is not an easy task considering the dummies out there.

Sure the cats are expensive, but they are also very rare. Talk to Lee about the generations it takes to breed a Savannah Cat !

i have been to the savannah cat shoppe many of times and have been treated with the up most respect. For all those people who are making negative remarks about being underdressed well… I have been there wearing shorts shirt and tennis shoes. These cats are of high dollar. How would do you think you would be treated dressed like crap if you went to the the highest end clothing store? Think about it. I have done my research and i have not found any misleading claims. It sounds to be like all you haters out there are just jelous that you cant afford a high end cat. SO get over your self. I personally would like to thank the savannah cat shoppe for there services honesty and warming welcome when i visit your store

I do not belive this Scarlett’s Magic cat should be considered the world’s tallest domestic cat by The Guinness Book of World Records, considering she is a mixed breed cat crossed between a “wild” Serval and a “domestic” Savannah. Therefore, she is not a totally “domestic cat”, since her taller height is attributed to the fact that she is 1/2 “wild” cat, and not the offspring of a full domestic bloodline.

These people who own this cat shop, are committing the biggest FRAUD I’ve seen.They dont breed cats they are brokers who joined up with breeders to sell their cats for more than they should & dupe the general public on what they are getting this so called ONE OF A KIND kitten they are putting up for auction is not one of a kind.There are others who own them as well & others who are selling them for around 5000 not 14000 for an F-2. I hope it gets out to the general public what kind of people they really are. They claim to be a top breeder & know next to nothing about the laws on these cats Did they mention in their auction to people that they are illegal in some states. All they care about is the mighty dollar. Check out their website. Servals coming soon. Not to CA and where are the pics of parents & kittens. What are you hiding with that.

The current PR hype about the rare one of a kind smoke Savannah makes my stomach turn. It’s all about the money for these people who have successfully created a market brand to pitch to the gullible rich. Auctioning off an animal to the highest bidder? How are they going to ensure that the cat is going to a proper home and won’t end up on e-bay for gosh sakes. Despicable way to sell any animal. And the prices for these cats are abominable. They should be ashamed.

I know Martin and Kathrin Stucki of A1 Savannahs and from my personal experiences I would say with confidence that they are very reliable, decent and honest people. Sure they are ambitious relative to many “hobby” cat breeders but that does not make them any less decent.

I just wanted to put in my two pennies worth as I know them and have visited A1 Savannahs.

the savannah cat shoppe was not rude to me (yet)
but i did contact A1 savannahs their associats about purchasing a kitten they lied to me saying the cat was sold and that they forgot to update the web page ,many days later the cat is still listed as available,dont do business with liars you will regret it ,many wonderful breeders are tica members and have beautiful cats ,they will help you and answer all your questions ,stay away from hype like savannah cat shoppe and A1, remember publicity stunts to sell a cat does not mean you should trust that person .Anybody can be on youtub or pay someone for a publicity photo with a cat,not everybody needs an icon cat to bring in revenue and not everyone is desperate for 5 minutes of fame,a great breeder will be well known and respected in your community start there, do your home work first, shop wisely and above all take your time you will be glad you did.

That is disgraceful !! Those ‘dressed to the nines’ people the owners probably kow tow to, may be cat abusers for all they know or people with so much money they just ‘have to have’ a Savannah but have no idea how to care for the cat.
They should think about that and should have treated you with respect no matter what you looked like !

These cats at remarkable and when my daughter and I visited the store to inquire more about them we were treated horribly. True we were not dressed to the nines as we had been cleaning all day but we didn’t deserve the treatment we received. I would not purchase anything from people as rude as the owners of this business.

At the top end, you can expect to pay around
$15,000 for one of these exquisite felines.

If you want the wild look without the size you can opt for an F3 which will still be larger than your average house cat. We paid $3,500 for our male, James Bond, and his sister, Natasha, who is a melanistic Savannah, cost $2,500. These cats are like no other cat in the world…highly intelligent and more “dog” like than “cat” like being that the Savannah cat in the wild is a pack animal. Very high energy, but they will not tear up your house.

I’ve met a couple of A1 Savannahs. They are well brought up and well adjusted felines. Anyone privledged to get one of these cats is as special as the cat.

Hi there, both great points. We’ll have to ask the breeder about both these. I’ll ask from their website and see what happens. Thanks for the comments.

Please, could i know the price at which these pedigreed cats are being sold?

PLEASE reassure me that none of these beautiful cats will be sold to anyone who will mutilate them by declawing !!!
