Not to mention the time frame it takes to ship Savannah kittens into European countries... If I remember right, with the import paperwork and whatnot, you won't get a young kitten (say 3-4 months old). Someone can jump in and correct me if I'm wrong!
 
Ok, so I was looking for a Savannah cat/kitten and was emailed by a women named Holly Brett (Hollypets@hotmail.com) She seemed nice and as im just new too this whole thing I didnt even think about it being a scam. She told me in detail about each of the 4 F1 kittens she was selling including pictures. Their names were Kopi, Frosting, Mickey (a.k.a serval) and bubbles. (Might I add they are absoloutly beautiful!!) I was supposed to have Kopi. She had to set up a courier as she lives in England and me Scotland she didnt ask for any money upfront and told me the money would be collected at the couriers discretion. I was soo Excited!!! but unfortunately it was too good to be true. She was asking for £420 for little Kopi who was '8 Weeks Old' She stole pictures from F1hybrid cattery (I have contacted Miss Mills) So also stole wordings and descriptions from her site directly. I couldnt remeber what site I found her ad on so I basically typed into google, the description she had give me of kopi
Kopi( female)- F1. She LOVES the bottle and falling asleep in your hand. She is nothing but pure fun. Her cute factor is set to about a million at all time! :) Color: (Golden) Brown with black spots
Paring: Serval male x F2 Savannah cat female
Generation: F1 Savannah cat
Percentage of serval: 62.5% I typed this In and straight away google images showed me a picture of bubbles, I clicked on the photo and it took me to Michelle Mills website F1 Hybrid Cattery and there I read about my not so 8week old Kopi who is about 6 months now. I actually feel really sad about it.
I questioned her by saying Hi, after doing more research on servals and savannahs I came across a website (F1 Hybrids Cattery) (USA) which had pictures and details of bubbles mickey kopi and frosting... there is also pictures of them at stages of 12 weeks etc. Have I missed something lol or do I have my wires crossed? She replied by saying that F1 hybrid cattery was her friend who had tried too sell her kittens in the USA for her while she tried in the UK, she said 'Mills' must have gotten confused. I asked her 'Mills' first name and also asked if they were friends on facebook. My questions were dismissed.
One of her replies:
Please the courier service will contact you once every thing is set for take off o.k
Concerning the question you have ask, i was contacted by a friend to help me sale out these kitten for me and i send her picture of the kittens for her to display them over the internet, i don't know its the side you are talking of , in any case you need not worry about any thing, Kopi is all your, am given 100% assurance, Kopi will be delivered to you today o.k i will see what i can do so that the picture can be remover over the internet if it true that their pictures are there o.k

Now im sad, I dont have a baby sav and my search continues :(

Hi Nicole I was so sorry to read of your horrible experience with a scammer. It's very depressing that there isn't some form of retribution for them (scammers) as they cause so much misery. Thank goodness you didn't part with any money.
There are quite a few good breeders of Savannah in the UK but if you are looking for early generation that can be quite difficult.
If you need any help with introductions to breeders near to you please email me and I will do my best to help. Laura.

Holly, learn english and how to form sentences before you attack someone.

Also f1 is a savannah not a serval.
