First off thank you for your time and replies in advance.
After watching a program on animal planet ,which featured the Savannah, I became interested in the possibility of owning one. I have never owned a hybrid cat before, I have owned domestic cats all my life ( 62 years). I have had Siamese and various long and short hair breeds, my last cat was an incredible loving feral I took in.
I am not sure which generation to consider,I I also have had cautions on even considering a Savannah. I am interested in obtaining feedback from owners on the advisability of purchasing a Savannah and which generation would be nest suited once you have read about my situation and home environment.
I am a paraplegic, I own my home ,which is a good sized single level home with a fairly large yard.
I understand the Savannah is an inside cat ,that can be walked on a leash, and great care should be taken to prevent them getting outside. I would like a generation ,which would best suit me and my home. I would provide a loving and stable home, with plenty of attention.Obviously, I do have some limitations, which hopefully would not prevent me from owning such an amazing breed.
It is my understanding that males have a great personality, do not spray if neutered. I would like a cat that clearly shows its heritage,I think the Savannah markings are beautiful. My domestic cats have all been males and good sized, so I would prefer a Savannah that leans to the larger size than a standard domestic. I also need a cat that would be non destructive and be litter box compliant.
Your thoughts and recommendations are greatly appreciated. I am a bit overwhelmed in trying to find a suitable match and breeder. I felt it was best to hear from those that own Savannah's on their
recommendations and experiences.
Yhank you all once again!
