Savannah
Serval × domestic hybrid — high-drive, restricted, expensive.
Savannahs are large (sometimes 25 lb), athletic, and need a household structured around their needs. Many cities + states ban F1–F3 generations entirely. Check local law before adopting.
What makes them, them
- 12–25 lb adult; spotted coat.
- Health depends on generation distance from serval.
- Lives 12–20 years.
- Bond strongly to one human.
Safety — what actually goes wrong
- Check legality — banned in NYC, Hawaii, several states.
- Indoor + catio only; their hunting drive overwhelms recall.
- Insurance restrictions common.
