i found this kitty what do you think? I need to take better pics! Is there a way to authenticate if it is without the parents?

Pretty kitty! I'm not sure that I see any Savannah or Bengal in it, but in a mixed breed it's always harder to tell. As far as I know there is not yet any way to test for specific breeds in cats, so if you think it's a Savannah-Bengal mix it would be hard to prove otherwise (y)

Adorable! I think he (she?) looks like a Serengeti, which is Bengal crossed with Oriental Shorthair. I am definitely not an expert, tho!

I think the benefit of getting a cat of unknown background is that you can invent one... whatever you think nobody can disprove. There's no DNA test that will tell you, even if there are cat breed DNA tests marketed they do not show ALC or Serval heritage with any real certainty. I don't really see Savannah in your kitten, he's very cute though and I hope he brings you a lot of joy!

The fact that you were able to get a pic without him moving makes me think he's not Savannah. The first year all we got was blurry pics of spots.

Thank you for all the advice. I will post better pics when I can I notice his ears point forward much of the time and his hind legs are very much like a German Shepard short upper and long lower. I have another cat I posted about a while ago that I’m convinced she is mixed with a savannah she has the craziest vocab of any cat I’ve ever herd with little chirp noises and other strange noises, and she will scale the wall up to top of blinds to go after little spiders. She can detect bugs that are outside the front door like big Beetles which she will eat if she can. I’ll post some of her too .
