Raven tried to lead her 3 week old out of the bedroom. If Trill would learn to be quiet, a whole new world would open up for her…❤️

Found his forever…❤️❤️❤️❤️….a very knowledgeable Momma and a good friend.

To say I’ve thought long and hard about this is an understatement. It’s been circling my brain for months.

I am looking for a new furever home for my young serval, Raistlin. This is a SERVAL! State, county, AND township laws apply. He must have access to an outdoor enclosure. You MUST either have knowledge of servals or F1s or pure exotic cats.

I could not ever do this with Drizzit, as his bond to me is to tight and he is touchy. But Raistlin is extremely laid back, basically a big cautious baby, and indifferent to just about everyone. He just turned 3 and has not ever hissed or growled or shown displeasure…which is rare, especially compared to Drizzit, who is a grump…😂

Rehoming a serval is always a long and cautious business. He will be confused and scared for awhile (which is why I thought about this for so long)….but circumstances have decided I should see if anyone out there has the knowledge necessary….I will ask one thousand simply to ensure that the individual is sincere about caring for him and giving him what he needs.

Also, I will cry in copious amounts when he leaves, so be prepared for excessive blubbering.

Edit: Raistlin is retired. He can only go as a pet, not as a breeder for a Savannah program.

Found his furever….❤️❤️❤️

My second post is about Korok. An SBT male born April 15, 2024. And he is a BIG boy. That is not polite with his claws, but again, I'm wondering if I am seeing it all wrong......

When cats mature, all cats, not just Savannahs, they spray. It's how nature designed them to protect territory and find mates. Korok was a loving kitten but reached sexual maturity at a very young age. He was only 5 months when he started spraying in copious amounts, so he had to go into the cattery and into an enclosure. I did have an older female that lived with him so he wasn't lonely, but I think being that young, made him miss some milestones...maybe. He was fixed on December 23rd and all spraying has stopped. Although he plays in his water then plays in his litter box and since I use pine pellets, I have instant sawdust in a minute, instead of pellets.

He loves attention, purrs and yells for attention and..............when you lift your hand away from petting him, grabs it with claws fully extended. I have practiced using "bite gloves" and have slapped his paws when he does this and I believe he is starting to learn that it is not acceptable. Again, as I have pregnant queens, I have not been able to bring him into the living area since he was fixed. The other issue is that he is scared of everything. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. He never ventured fully into his enclosure. Just would creep out and lay right next to the opening that led back to safety. If a raccoon happened to fart in his direction, P**F, he was gone. That includes humans as well. He knows me, so is always asking for attention, but if another human happens to walk up to his enclosure, he would sink through the floor if he could.

So, again, here's my dilemma....because he was so very young when he reached sexual maturity, he may have not learned the manners that Mom or humans would have taught him as he grew. So, am I keeping him in an enclosure because I don't trust him with people? That is not fair to him, if its something he knows nothing about.

So.....NO children. Always got along with other cats. But other cats couldn't hiss at him either. He is BIG! And SCARED of everything. Thinking that if he was let loose in a grocery store, he could live for decades without ever being seen.

If you are interested in giving Korok his furever home, please do give me a call.

❤️❤️ Has found her furever❤️❤️❤️❤️

Well, I see I haven't posted since December 23rd...ooopps...I suppose that means that whatever an algorithm is, no one will see this....🙂

I am still currently walking this Earth and will have a couple more F2 litters. At the moment, I have two young, retired breeders looking for homes. These aren't easy ones and I had resigned myself to simply keeping them, but I realized I wasn't giving them or "you" the benefit of the doubt. I will make a post for each of them. This one is Frost's.

Frost is an F2 (and not one of the big ones), born March 2, 2023 from my F1 Sindyr. She's always been exotic looking and as I said, she is not a big kitty. She grew up with my younger Serval, Raistlin, and four other girls. She was spayed on February 23rd and I've been waiting for the "hormones" to calm down. Most times, they become an entirely different cat.

I believe she likes cats better then she likes people. And she's like that joke where you say "SQUIRREL" and everybody (dogs) drops everything and looks? In her case it would be "CAT TOY". She has zero problems with other cats, simply really doesn't care, unless its cuddle time, then she has to groom them all. When it comes to people, she adores attention, but bites. And that's the kicker. You can be petting her and she's purring, arching her back, loving it, and all of a sudden, bites your finger, and bites HARD. I've had F1 and F2 that bit before, or grab your hand when you're walking, but they usually stopped after being spayed. And, Frost only started doing this after she was put into an enclosure alone to heal from the spay. When I visit, she is almost frantic to the point of jumping on my back when I'm scooping her litter box. So....is she so bored and trying to say something? Hates being alone and bored? Before, when she lived with her girlfriends and Raistlin, she would enjoy the attention and then walk off to play. That's where I'm wondering if I'm not giving her the benefit of the doubt? I haven't been able to bring her into the living area, since her spay, as I've had pregnant girls. So.........

I would recommend a home with NO children. And absolutely, some other pet or pets. If another cat growls or hisses at her, she arches her back and none such, but just tries to calm them down by ignoring them or watches them warily until she can walk away. I am hazarding a guess, that if she had pet or pets to play with, the "energy" that is causing her to show displeasure to the only human (at the moment) that gives her attention, would probably go away.

Conclusion: She is not a lap cat. She is not for someone who expects her to cuddle under the covers and purr (at least not without some heavy play and heavy drugs....LOL), I, personally, at this time in her development, would expect to get bit in my sleep and would probably wear uncomfortable chain mail to bed.

Others: Not a picky eater. Likes to play in water. Will play with ANY toy, doesn't matter what it is. Spot on in the litter box since birth.

Please feel free to text or call if you like to speak about giving Frost her furever home. Thank you

I admit, I get frustrated sometimes. When a new parent complains that the new kitten is peeing on the husband stinky gym clothes…..well, maybe pick them up and put them in the laundry basket????….okay, was that a bit snarky?….😁

But 99% of the time, what was meant to be, does happen, and it makes my heart swell….❤️

Two years ago, I had an SBT kitten that we called “Dipper”. He had a dip in his spine that the Vet said was just, one of those things, didn’t impact his health, he was fine, etc.

I posted looking for a furever home for a “not perfect kitten” and the very first inquiry came from a wonderful lady with a 15 year old Bengal. Dipper, now Loki, integrated into to the household quickly, with Rocco “the Bengal”, loving all over him…..very shortly after, Rocco passed away quietly in his sleep…😔…I feel, as does his Mother, that he knew it was okay to leave as she had a new fur friend to comfort her…❤️❤️❤️…makes it all worth it…

My heart broke a little when I returned home after taking Talmira to the airport. Her not greeting me at the door….😭😭…I take comfort that she has an absolutely wonderful Mom who is excited to spoil her rotten…❤️

F1 Skie’s first litter was a huge success. A combination of intelligence, playful, loving, attentive, and super gentle. Bodes well for the kittens to come from her and Jorvis…❤️❤️

Talmira makes me laugh all day…😂😂….F1 Skie’s first little girl is a cuddle ball of curious, affectionate love. Her new Mommy gets to meet her in nine days!!!!

Think she needs a furry friend…🧐

F2 Prince flies out tomorrow to his furever home……4:00 AM wake-up….🤦‍♀️….he ended up being an Alpha. (About 1 out of 10 do). It is not a bad thing…😊…they are super intelligent , but more cautious and less inclined to accept things at face value. On the positive side, he’s a total scrounge-hound and a simple treat of deli ham should win him over…😊❤️

P.S. Yes, he has contributed to the destruction of the chair….😂
