Beautiful Woodland African Serval Kittens for Adoption

by Patrice Williams
(Nashville, Tn USA)

The African Serval cat is not domestic nor should one be treated as such. These magnificent animals are naturally wild by nature but fairly easy to socialize with the proper treatment from day one. Anyone who thinks they desire to have one as a lifetime companion needs to take the time to learn all they can before making the decision to acquire one. My passion and pleasure of being a breeder of these cats is to place a kitten in a forever home where they will live in harmony with their human family. If you are materialistic and particular about your home being maintained extremely pristine then a Serval may not be a good choice for you.

I am more than happy to share my personal experiences living with Serval cats. Moreover you are welcome to ask any questions you may have before deciding to adopt one into your home.

USDA LICENSED BREEDER,

Notice: To People who want to leave a note to this breeder: He appears to no longer be trading....If I am wrong please tell me.

why do people claim to research these animals to death, but then ask to get them for free? animals are expensive to maintain, especially exotic. is you cant afford to buy one, you probably cant afford to raise one

Here is a video of a F1 Savannah cat - MAGIC - one removed from the serval. Her father was a serval and her mother a Savannah cat. She is the Guinness World Record tallest domestic cat as I understand it:

by: Michael (PoC Admin)

Hi Josh, thanks for the comment. Personally, I can't add much to what I have said on the website. The best bet is for you to contact breeders, both Serval breeders and Savannah breeders who will have first hand knowledge of living with a Serval.

For me it is totally unworkable, too much input required and not enough space. I would have thought space (physical space, lots of it, ideally), time (likewise lots of it) and a bit of money is required, coupled with accurate expectations, which can only be got from people with first hand experience.

starstarstarstarstar 		I have touched and played with a Serval
by: Michael (PoC Admin)

Hi, it seems quite a few people would like to have a Serval as a companion cat. I can see the attraction. You may have seen this video on the Savannah cat page as the Serval is the wildcat parent/ancestor of the Savannah but if not it is here:



See the above video in very large format and in high definition by clicking on this link (you go to a new window): Serval cat a tame wildcat that acted like a domestic cat.

The Serval in the video (at A1 Savannahs in Oklahoma, USA) was a great boy cat, very friendly and similar to a domestic cat but considerably bigger and different in that you could sense the wildcat in him. For people considering living with a Serval I would do as Patrice Williams, the breeder who posted the article suggests, and contact him or another breeder including Savannah cat breeders (who keep Servals to breed from) and ask questions. The major obstacles after price (inc. maintenance etc.) and getting expectations right (i.e.being prepared for a change in your lifestyle) is the legal issues as there will be regulations in place regarding ownership (as I may have mentioned somewhere else!) and some States in the USA don't allow it and in the UK there will be greater obstacles (start with Defra). Here are some more thoughts: Serval cats that mainly concern the USA.

starstarstarstarstar 		How to Adopt
by: Anonymous

I think the best thing is to check out the major issues such as what it is like living with a tamed wildcat and the legal issues (I cover some of this here: Serval Cats. Then contact a breeder like the one attached to these comments. I think one really has to get all the facts and take a reality check before embarking on the journey. I made a post about Serval Escapes and got heavily criticized. Mind you I was heavily critical myself. But some people don't cope well and the cat gets abandoned and injured or killed. I don't like it when people do what they want at the possible expense of the cat That is in no way saying that you can't be perfect!

starstarstarstarstar 		Rare Serval
by: meg

Everything I have heard about Servals seems to contradict the one I have. He hates to be held, only touches you when he wants to but is an amazing house cat. He walks well on a leash and loves to follow me around the house.

I have OCD and he is wonderful about playing with only his toys. The only thing I hear I am missing out on is the cuddling. He is not a cuddler!
Over all I love having a Serval!

starstarstarstarstar 		Question
by: Becky

I have been thinking of adopting a Serval cat in the future but first want to know as much information as possible. What are Servals like with other animals as I already have a cat and a dog, my dog is no threat though as he is very well behaved with my cat. Would a be able to allow Servals out to roam freely like ordinary cats? i live in the country and are surrounded by fields and mountains. Would I be better off adopting two so they can keep each other company hen im not there?

Answer:

Hi, I'm Michael. I run this website. I have not lived with a Serval. But they are wild cats, tamed to be domesticated. There are numerous considerations. Have a look at the Serval page on this site first. Think of legal requirements first. I don't know where you live but there will certainly be legal requirements. Running wild - no. The only practical way is a very large enclosure in my opinion but seek the advice of a Serval or Savannah breeder for first hand experience. I list some at the base of the Savannah and Serval pages.

Servals will be demanding. You must have the time and resources (financially and in terms of time).

by: Anonymous

Could you please educated me on what I am in stale for?! If I desperately want to own one? Thanks ~Mary xoxo

Response from Admin:- If you would like to live with a Serval, I would first read the page on this site and ask yourself if you can manage and have the right set up at home to accomodate a Serval, which is a tamed wild cat. There are real demands in time, space and expense. The rewards are high too but above all you must do what is right for the cat. Think twice even three times.
