Rare and special savannahs
The serval itself comes in three color phases. Melanistic, brown which is the most common and White which is very rare.
The savannah comes in more colors as the domestic influence adds a myriad of colors to the hybrid cross.
The black serval is just that ,black. The white serval is a true white similar to the white tigers. The savannah breeders have chosen to mimic this color by introducing an artificial silver color which is not the same as a true white. I will be breeding silvers but thought everyone might like to see a true white.
The white savannahs and serval have a white coat with beautiful muted spots. Kittens are born virtually spotless and as the mature the spots appear clearer and clearer.
This is a true white serval. There are no silver servals in existence.
Here is our first white female. She is considered non standard as the white serval and savannahs are not yet recognized .They are few in numbers and quite rare.
She was born pure white and I have hand raised her from birth.
6 weeks old her pattern is starting to show
10 weeks old
Although she has "red eye" in this picture she has the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen.
12 weeks old as you can see her spots are arriving.
8 weeks old.
Being the white savannahs are not considered acceptable with the TICA registry if we produce any more white savannahs they will be available to approved pet homes.
