We are so excited about this very special not-so-little girl! Katie's pedigree is more complicated than most F3s, because she is 46% serval not 12.5% like a "standard" F3 generation cat. Click here to see an explanation of how Katie can be F3 but so high in serval %.
Katie is very tall and very golden with amazing black spots, she has wonderful ears, a great face shape from both front and side (due to her wonderful profile and shallow chin). And she is so naughty while loving every person she's ever met, we simply adore her! We think her kittens from her are stunning...you can view them on the kittens page and of course on Monkey's page too.
Katie is an A-registered F3 with a Bengal mother, and although this is a NonPermissible outcross we feel that her type more than compensates for this!
Monkey is our second girl to be born here. See Monkey's pedigree here.
Monkey is a B-registered high percentage F4 (~24.5% Serval). If you want to know how she can be 4th generation and the Serval % equivalent to an F2, read about her mother Katie in the description further up the page. Monkey has many breeds in her background (Bengal, Serengeti, Egyptian Mau, Oriental Shorthair).
We are delighted that we finally have our girl from Katie, and are amazed by the strong SV type she is already showing. Monkey has a wonderful face, long legs and the inkiest black spots. She has her mother's playful but affectionate personality.
Tisha is Monkey's first daughter (Kashka is her father), and we are so delighted with what we got! Tisha is a high percentage F5, her Serval % is ~14% which makes her equivalent to most F3 SVs not F5s.
Tisha is developing so nicely, she has long long legs and very black spots on a pale background. Her ears are large and high set and her eyes are nicely flattened across the upper eyelid. Her tail is nice and thick and not too long. And she is very affectionate and playful...she and her brother Dukie are quite the pair!
Missy came to us from Tina and Julian of DreamSavannahs, she was already a year old. She adjusted amazingly well, a tribute to the excellent raising and socialization she had by Tina and Julian. My husband calls her "kittydog" because she really does act like a cross between a cat and a dog. She heels us around the house, she fetches toys like a maniac...she is completely devoted to me.
Missy is a wonderful F1 girl that is extra-special for having a Savannah mommy, adding a couple extra Serval %, she is ~51.5% serval. She has huge ears and a very short tail. Her proportions are pretty perfect and her spots are absolutely black. We are delighted with her, her personality is so happy. She is intense and energetic and playful, without a mean bone in her body!

| Kirembo Kirabo Zarina | F3B | Born: 09/12/07 |
Kiki is the last daughter of our beloved Karamu, who is now the spayed Queen of a pet household. MuMu had insanely large ears as a kitten, and Kiki is continuing that tradition. Kiki is developing very nicely, she has huge ears that are very upright, she has lovely flattening to her upper eyelid and a triangular shaped head. She has a nice straight profile and elegant neck. Her legs are long and body is lean with a gorgeous lemony-gold background to her dark spots. She is outgoing, friendly and relaxed (except when there is a toy being swished about!) and has been charming to judges at cat shows so far. Kaiki is an B-registered F3 from Karamu (F2A) and Kashka (F5B).

| Bobo |
| Bobo Dialasso | F2 | Born: 05/23/01 |
Bobo is my special baby. He was our first Savannah, and the one that enthused us so much that we decided to breed them! As he is an F2 male, he is sterile and was neutered early. Unfortunately, he has an extremely rare heart condition. This condition is not hereditary, and obviously we feel confident about this as we are continuing our association with this breed! Bobo has had outstanding veterinary care, currently he is taking an experimental heart medication that has shown great success in dogs but not cats and is doing fabulous. We've been able to decrease his other medications because of this and Bobo has more energy and playfulness since...we couldn't be happier in our miracle boy!

Kashka is our special new boy. He is a B registered F5, which means both mother and father are SVs. He has many domestic breeds in his background (Serengeti, Domestic Shorthair, Egyptian Mau, Bengal).
He has outstanding type for his generation, and has the coveted black nose. His spots are absolutely black too. He is growing well and is a lovely leggy substantial boy for his age.
His name is Nigerian and means "friendly" , which describes Kashka very well. He loves people and animals, and is extremely playful. We adore him, he's got the best of personalities.
Kash has been producing amazing kittens to date: great ears and ear set, straight profiles and angular faces and wonderful contrast. Additionally they all seem to inherit his friendly outgoing nature that we love so much.
Dukie is the first kitten we've kept here solely as pet. He's just so charming and charismatic we cannot bear to part with him. He's one of the rarer Savannah colorations, the melanistic Savannah. This doesn't just mean solid black, as under the right lighting it is plain to see that Duke has good big spots but they are black just like his undercoat!
Dukie is a high percentage C F5, ~14% Serval, making him a "virtual F3". He is Tisha's littermate brother.
Dukie has lovely big upright ears and a big black nose. He has an angular face and long lean body that is very elegant in appearance. We expect him to be a very handsome boy when full grown.
