Gifted Female Turning Mean! Don't Know How to Post!

I have always adopted/rescued. 50 Yrs. Old, stay at home mom to her, but don't know how to do this post! KNOW cats well until now!
Gifted female. Maybe F5? when widowed.
SUPER smart, pain in the ass, so LOVE her. LOL!
Saving to get her fixed with laser. Door dashed in heat. Went to pick her up to go inside and she went nuts like a pit bull attack. My hand is torn up with full depth fang bites.

She also started attacking other old cat in house-mount and bite neck. Now older cat won't use litter box because of attacks.

Need to find new home in country like ours?

You need to get her spayed as soon as possible. Are there no-cost or low-cost spay/neuter clinics near you? In the meantime, isolate in a room of her own with her favorite toys, bed, litter box and keep her away from the other cat.

I'm a little unclear. You have an adult unspayed cat that you think is a Savannah? Or did you purchase a cat that you just put off spaying for too long?

I agree with Witchy that finding a low cost spay/neuter clinic would be best. I understand wishing to save for laser surgery, but realistically you should just get her spayed. This will make all the difference and you can reintroduce your older cat to her and likely all will be fine.

Please be careful with your hand, cat bites can be very dangerous. You most likely need to start antibiotics to be sure it doesn't get infected.

I agree with the others, this girl needs to be spayed as soon as possible. I suspect that all (or at least most) of her 'bad' behavior will resolve with the spay. Not sure what you mean 'in a country like ours'? Are you concerned about hybrid ownership laws? Where are you located?
