We no longer breed or sell serval cats.

We did hold a USDA license to breed and sell African serval cats.  We have stopped breeding Serval kittens as maintaining the license was keeping us at home. You are supposed to have someone on the property Mon-Through Fri from 7 to 5 for suprise inspections by the USDA inspector.

The Serval is a magnificently beautiful spotted cat native to the grasslands of Africa.  The average Serval is 40 pounds.  Males may be more, up to 55 pounds, and females less, down to 20 pounds.  The Serval at shoulder height stands 18 to 24 inches from the ground and is 30 to 36 inches in length.  For hundreds of years Europeans have kept Servals as pets.  For most individuals a Serval as a pet is not practical, and in some states, including Arizona,  not legal.   DonaMae cattery started with Servals  intended for breeding with domestic cats to create the hybrid breed called the Savannah cat. The Serval cat has very large ears and excellent hearing, it is a great jumper and very fast runner. Servals raised by humans from the time they are kittens have many similarities to domestic cats, but it must always be remembered that they are wild cats that will not come back to their happy home.   All cats are curious and may want to explore the outside, but the domestic cats return home.  Owning a Serval has legal limitations.  Permits are not granted in Arizona and some other states to have a Serval as a pet.  I think that anyone that handles and works with these wonderful cats quickly develops an admiration and love for the Serval breed.  A Serval raised from a kitten becomes very bonded to his human family. Servals have a very difficult time changing owners, this is very stressful to the cat, and the cat may never develop the same relationship with the new owner that was established with the old owner. Servals live to about 20 years in captivity.

The Savannah cat is a new breed of which there are very few.  I believe this breed of cat will become as popular as the Bengal cat when there will be enough of them that people can buy one at a  reasonable price.   The Savannah, like the Bengal, is a hybrid domestic breed created by breeding a domestic cat to a wild cat. The Savannah is breed from the beautiful African Serval cat and the Bengal is breed from the Asian Leopard cat.

These serval pages are to show off the beautiful Serval cats that we did have before.
