| Katie We really love Katie's look, she embodies a lot of the traits we wish to carry down the generations to the SBT Savannah one day! 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 are stunning; you can view them on the previous kittens page. Katie is an A-registered F3 with a Bengal mother, and although this is a non-permissable outcross, we feel that her type more than compensates for this! |
||||
| |
||||
Lalara Lara is a B-registered high percentage F4 ( 24.5% Serval), so really a "virtual F2". Her mother is Katie (see above) and father is Rocco (Summerwood Roccolittieri), an F5C stud male we coown with Kristine Alessio at Gattobello Savannahs. Lara has many breeds in her background (Bengal, Serengeti, Egyptian Mau, Oriental Shorthair). Lara has amazing large well-set ears, intense orange eyeslong legs,
a wonderful spot pattern and such a short thick tail. She has her mother's playful but affectionate
personality, which resulted in her sailing through a year of showing like a complete dignified princess. |
|
|||
Lara is obsessed by water! Many of the kittens we have raised here at Kirembo have been fond of the sink, the shower and the bathtub, but none quite as intense about it as our Lara. She never misses an opportunity, and waits in the bathroom every morning for shower-time, and gets completely soaked every time. She loves to go out in our outdoor enclosure every time it rains. She never seems to tire of it. |

Aziza Aziza is the baby sister to Missy, with the same parents. Z is an F1 with a slightly higher Serval % as her mother is also a Savannah.We are so delighted to have her join us, she is so similar to Missy in so many ways it is like having her doppelganger come to stay! Aziza has huge ears set high on her head, lovely face shape with a long graceful neck leading to a leggy athletic body with wonderful spot pattern. She is developing very nicely and growing faster than we expected!. |

| Maddie Maddie is Monkey's and Kashka's daughter . Maddie is a high percentage F5, her Serval % is ~14% which makes her equivalent to most F3 SVs not F5s. Maddie is developing
nicely, she has long legs, a lovely body and very black spots on a pale background.
Her ears are large, nicely shaped and set upright. Her eyes are nicely hooded, and her face shape triangular. Her tail is nice and thick and not too long. She is
very affectionate, outgoing and playful – she and her brother Baz are
quite the pair! Hope to see them at a show near you soon :-) |

Missy 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 adore Missy, her personality is so happy. She is intense and energetic and playful, without a mean bone in her body! Unfortunately, Missy has had to be spayed. We have her adorable baby sister Aziza now, and hope to have better fortune with her. |
||||
Kiki Kiki is the last daughter of our beloved Karamu, who is now the spayed Queen of a pet household. Kiki is the daughter of Karamu (F2A)and Kashka (F5B). Mu 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 an elegant neck. Her legs are long and her 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 until retired when the Savannah was advanced to ANB level. |
 |
|||
Thandiwe Thandi is the daughter of Kiki (see above) and Rocco. We think it wonderful that although neither parent has a black nose, both grandfathers do and thus Thandi inherited it. Thandi has the very large upright ears of her mother and maternal grandmother. It's wonderful to see that carry down the line, as well as the very long legs and the athletic body. Thandi has a wonderfully happy personality, she is enjoying coming to shows with me. She also enjoys doing backflips after a feather wand toy. |

| Essie Essie came to us as an adult proven female. We are hoping to produce some lovely fertile males with her and Kashka, and certainly the first litter here has seen that. We are very pleased with what she and Kash produce together. Essie is a lower generation Savannah, so not nearly as flashy as some of the others here. She is a good tall girl with great boning and musculature. Her face is very nice in shape, with a good broad nose and hooding to her eyes. She's very sweet and loving but always willing to play with a wand toy too! |

| Bobo 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 nor a breed issue, 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 for our miracle boy! |

Kashka 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 has grown well and is a lovely, leggy substantial stud now and still super-sweet and loving. |
 |
|||
. 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. Kashka has been
producing amazing kittens to date – with 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. |
||||
| |
||||
Baz Baz is a high-percentage C F5, 14% Serval, making him a "virtual F3". He is Maddie's littermate brother. He will be kept as a neutered male pet. He's one of the rarer Savannah colorations– the melanistic Savannah. The African Serval comes in a melanistic (solid black) form, therefore the Savannah Breed accepts this pattern also. Baz has such a lovely big, black nose and a great face shape. His profile is straight and shows that lovely triangle in that direction also. He has an angular face and a
long lean body that is very elegant in appearance. We expect him to
be a very handsome boy when fully grown, and likely a very large boy too.. |

Dino Dino is an SBT Savannah, which means that there are only Savannahs in his three generation pedigree, this is what is commonly considered a "purebred". Hopefully, Dino will prove fertile and be a future stud for Kirembo and our sister cattery Gattobello Savannahs too. Dino has a lot of good qualities to contribute to a program. He's growing well and has a lovely warm tone to his coat. His nose is really nice and puffy and his face shape is good. He's got a good rangy build to his body and a nice profile. He's super-exceedingly sweet boy bordering on obnoxiously needy for love and affection...from people or animals. We hope that makes him a great stud, LOL! |
