OMG. I can't believe I'm reading this post about rehoming your family member since you can only tolerate him another 6 years. Savannahs and all felines become so bonded with their families and you want to rehome him when he needs you the most in his senior years. Now the shelter or rescues have to be burdened with grieving cats that have behavior issues. That's just selfish. Think about how you would feel if your loved one got rid of you when you got old and didn't want to deal with you anymore. You are blessed with him being good 80% of the time.
I nutured and protected 6 of my domestic babies till the day they died. Yes, The pain was unbareable. That's life. They lived an average of 16-21 years. I always wanted a savannah, but would not torture my senior cats. I now have a young family with 2 shelter fur babies, one is a special needs and 2 Savannahs (an f3 and f1). Life isn't perfect, but I love them all and would be devestated if I had to give any one of them up. My one domestic is the hardest to handle at the vet. It's because he is scared.
