How Much Does a Savannah Cat Cost?

The Savannah cat is domestic breed that is a cross between a African Serval and domestic cat.  Their cross is very popular among breeders since it greatly resembles a wild cat.  These cats are different than most domestic cats since they can be trained on a leash and are capable of learning tricks such as playing fetch.  Savannah cats are expensive since this breed is difficult to find and there are few people who have successfully created a perfect savannah cat.  Its price greatly depends on the size, gender, and age of the cat as well as the breeder selling it.

How much do savannah cats cost?

• The savannah cat price depends on the category of the animal breeding.  Those cats who are under the 1^st generation of breeding or who have 53% of the Serval breed cost higher than others.  This simply means that the lower the percentage of Serval breed, the cheaper the price.  The price list below is the average price of savannah cats from 1^st to last generation.
• Males and females  that are from a first generation who have more than 53% serval in them can cost anywhere from $7,000 to $23,000.
• 2nd generations (29% serval) can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000.  3rd generations (16% serval) can cost anywhere $1,000 to $6,500, while a 4th generation can cost $1,000 to $2,800.
• For example, A1 Savannahs in New Hampshire sell their breeds for $950 to as much as $23,000 depending on the breed.

What are the extra costs?

• Most breeders do not include neutering and microchipping with their price.  If you are going to buy from a breeder, be sure to ask what has been done.
• For those that purchase from a breeder online, shipping fees may apply.  Shipping fees can range anywhere from $150 to $400 or more if shipping by airplane.
• A vet check up is necessary for those that receive the cat on the first day.  This is going to ensure that the cat has a clean bill of health.  Most reputable breeders will include a health guarantee.  That way, if something happens, you can get your money back.
• This breed requires a good-quality cat food compared to most other litters.  Plan on spending at least $30 to $50 per month on cat food alone.

What is going to be included?

• Most pet shelters and shops offer free vaccinations for the pet as well as a health guarantee to protect your investment.

Tips to know:

• This is a rather new breed that has an ancestry of a wild breed such as the savannah cat.  Due to their ancestry, these cats are going to have a lot of wild tendencies.
• These cats can weigh up to 25 pounds and can grow upwards of 25 inches long.  The difference between this type of cat and others is that it’s going to have larger ears and has an exotic fur that has tiny markings similar to a leopard.  The size can greatly depend on their ancestry.
• Regular grooming is highly recommended for this breed as they tend to shed rather easily.
• A Savannah Cat tends to have a very caring and loving personality.  Highly intelligent compared to most cats, many owners find that it’s relatively easy to train this breed.
• Well-behaved, most Savannah Cats get along with other cats, dogs and children.  Remember, like most animals, each cat will have their own personality.
• The reason these cats are so expensive is because they are very difficult to breed.  Costly to raise them, these breeds tend to require proper care to live a long and healthy life.  Let’s not forget that the demand is very great.

How can I save money?

• Since these cats are rather rare, consult with a few breeders both online and in person.  It is best to consider purchasing a pet from a local breeder so that you can see the cat as well as avoid shipping charges.
