"It was amazing that this young serval could survive six months like she has, but she obviously was successful by the amount of bird feathers we found onsite."

Then why not just leave her be?

Not made for this area. Probably too cold of climate but who knows? They’re very expensive to buy full blood or hybrids. beautiful cats. Very graceful.

She’s in pretty good hands at Turpentime Creek Refuge. It’s just outside of Eureka Springs AR. I go by there occasionally.

Was it a single serval or several servals?

Because it’s an invasive species.

They were catching and locking up the wrong Africans.

If memory serves, at least one variety of serval cat, somewhere in the Pacific Rim is involved in creating a very special and exclusive coffee. Coffee beans are fed to the cats. The beans pass thru the cats unscathed except for some “magic” exotic fermentation or chemical change that happens along the trip. The beans are then removed from the serval feces, washed and roasted. And then the folks in the wealthier part of town pay premium prices to enjoy the brewed nectar.

Savannah cats are not just a Serval plus any old house cat. They were carefully bred to produce a superior cross breed, so much so that they are neutered before sale, to protect the cross.

Savannahs are much like large dogs in personality. They tend to prefer to bond with a single member of a family.

I don’t know if their scat repels dogs like the scat of other big cats.

They have no problem wearing a collar or being walked on a leash.
