Xena  7 wks old                                   Xena Princess Warrior drinking her bottle and holding it. Serval kitten. She was to be sold, had some health problems so we are keeping her.  Serval kittens. She was so named because she almost died three times. Three times to the emergency room. 3,000$ worth. She is on seizure medicines and a special formula just for Serval kittens.
Xena 5 wks old	after eating dinner. 5 wks old
	Guess what! We have a Beautiful new Serval kitten born May 26, 2010.  Doing fine. Here are the first pictures at 5 days. You can also see mom who is "Janie" or LJane.

This is Gunther, the father of the new kitten. His living area is much bigger than that, he just backed into a corner because his picture was being taken. He is a nice boy. 4 years old when we got him, but bottle fed and can be petted and easy to handle. Large also.

This is Shawna my 6 months old female playing with the baby. She loves her. I don't dare trust her with the kitten, she might decide to eat her, but cute to watch them interact. This is the baby eating her first meat, some  raw heart.

 IF you are interested, I have a questionare that I will send you. Not everyone will be placed on the list, do not be offended, I try to pick the absolute best situtation for our very limited number of kittens. I do not take deposits till kittens are born and doing well.

I am looking for the most stable homes. It is also important that the home have adequate finances to invest, as the initial purchase price is just a beginning. Servals are more expensive to take care of, Vets are much higher, Food is 3 LBS of Raw meat a day per Serval, etc. Adequate home, pens, etc. Rules and laws in community. These are exotics, with special rules.

We have purchased a new Serval KItten female, She is wonderful, 7 wks old. Born New Years Eve.She will be kept as a pet and breeder. Not for sale!! Don't even think about it!

 Shawna is doing well now, thanks for all the prayers.

She will become one of our Queens evenually and is not for sale.

Below are some kitten pictures from our previous cattery, we no longer have these cats.All were sold in 2005, I just leave the pictures and history for your enjoyment.

PS, some of these pictures from our Site have been scammed, so if you see them on another site, Beware.

   The first Serval kitten we received was Simone. She was about 4 months and 2 days old when we received her. She took about 2 months to make the transition to us as her new owners.  I very much wanted to win her over when we received her, and soon discovered that when I played with her with a feather on a string, she would forget all else and play until she was worn out.  We kept her locked in the bedroom bathroom when we were not at home.  The first week or so, when we would come home from work, Simone would be in the attack position hissing at us.  It was clear she was saying that she was claiming our bedroom and inviting us out, as she discovered that we would not leave, I think she decided that she would share the bedroom with us, but would hiss at anyone else coming into it, and this included our 17 year old son, Jamie Joe.  I have always wanted to pick her up as her previous owner did, but Simone would not let me. At first she would nip at me if I picked her up, and latter in time she would not nip but would just wiggle away and run off. I have stopped trying to pick her up because it would be apparent that she would remain angry at me for a while any time I would try.  Simone can be quite affectionate. When we first introduced her to domestic cats, Simone would always walk up to them and lift her paw and put it on them waiting to see their reaction.  Ocicats seem to be able to cope with meeting a Serval cat better then Bengals, but in a day or two, any domestic cat we left together with Simone seemed to be her friend. One little Ocicat female was about 1/3 the size of Simone. (Our domestic cats have claws, our Serval cats have had their claws removed.)   Anytime Simone would do something this little Ocicat did not like, the little Ocicat female would walk on over to Simone, position herself, and then reach up and smack the big cat.  Anytime Simone thought she might have gotten out of line, she would stand tall, and half close her eyes, knowing she might be about to be smacked.  When Simone was 8 months, she moved to a 12 ft by 12 ft cage and lives with a Bengal stud, and sometimes,  a couple of Bengal queens.  They all seem to get along quite well.

    Our next kitten was received when he was 8 weeks old.  He was flown from Virgina and we received him at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.  This little kitten showed no fear of us and he does allow us to pick him up.  For now he is living with us and a female Ocicat kitten in our bedroom.  The little Ocicat kitten and he love playing together. The little male Serval kitten is very open to us and appears to have a very good nature.  This little Serval will be raised only with domestic cats and hopefully in about a year and one half to two years will breed with them.This was written previously, and this kitten grew up into Benji, a 50 lb lovable Serval stud.

     If you are looking to buy a serval kitten,  we advise you to verify that you don't need a permit to have this type of cat where you live.  You need to check your state, county, and city as any of these may not allow this cat as a pet.
