Welcome to Basts Savannahs

At Basts Savannahs, we are dedicated to showcasing and selling top-quality Savannah kittens. Our cattery is committed to providing an exceptional experience for our customers, and we take pride in raising our kittens with the utmost care and attention. Kittens are raised in home and socialized among family, friends and pets.

We work with kittens to get them accustomed to a harness and leash so you can take your furry family member out with you on walks and hikes! It is one of the most safe ways to give them outdoor enrichment.

ABOUT US

Both my partner and I have grown up with animals as an integral part of our family.
I’m Cherie, and I’ve had the privilege of growing up alongside cats, small animals, birds, fish, and reptiles. From a young age, I was deeply interested in animal care and behavior. I often joke that I was a “little scientist” as a child — constantly observing my pets, taking notes, and learning everything I could about them.
As I grew older and entered the workforce, I knew I wanted to turn that lifelong passion into a career. I’ve worked in several pet stores within their animal care departments, including Petco and PetSmart, where I cared for a wide range of animals — from small mammals and reptiles, to fish and birds. My responsibilities included maintaining habitats, preparing and overseeing proper diets, and administering medications when needed.
I also worked at a feed store, where I was responsible for the care of exotic birds, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and puppies. These experiences deepened my understanding of animal husbandry and reinforced the importance of attentive, compassionate care.
My partner grew up on a farm, where caring for animals was a daily part of life. He has a strong passion for dogs and horses and brings a grounded, hands-on approach to animal care.
Together, we share a deep respect and love for animals, viewing them not just as pets, but as valued family members. That philosophy is at the heart of everything we do at Bast’s Savannahs.

Savannah Cat Breed Overview

Savannah cats are a striking and intelligent hybrid breed developed from the African Serval and domestic cats. Known for their tall stature, bold spots, and engaging personalities, Savannahs are both exotic in appearance and deeply bonded companions.

This breed is not for everyone — Savannahs thrive in homes that appreciate their energy, curiosity, and emotional intelligence.

Temperament & Personality

Savannah cats are:

Highly intelligent and problem-solving oriented
Strongly bonded to their people
Confident, curious, and socially interactive
Often compared to dogs in behavior

Many Savannahs enjoy:

Playing fetch
Walking on a leash
Following their humans from room to room
Being involved in daily activities

They do best in homes where they receive regular interaction, enrichment, and mental stimulation.

Activity Level & Enrichment Needs

Savannah cats are extremely active and athletic.

They require:

Tall cat trees and climbing spaces
Daily interactive play
Puzzle toys and enrichment games
Safe vertical territory

Without adequate stimulation, Savannahs can become bored and mischievous. A well-enriched environment is essential to their well-being.

Socialization & Family Life

When properly socialized from kittenhood, Savannah cats can:

Do well with respectful children
Coexist with other cats and dogs
Form deep, loyal bonds with their families

Early handling, positive exposure, and gentle boundaries are key to raising a confident, well-adjusted Savannah.

Grooming & General Care

Savannah cats are relatively low-maintenance in grooming.

Care needs include:

Weekly brushing
Regular nail trims
Ear checks and dental care
Routine veterinary visits

Their short coat sheds minimally and does not require specialized grooming.

Nutrition

A high-quality, protein-rich diet is essential for Savannah cats.

Recommended:

Premium commercial diets with real meat as the primary ingredient
Proper taurine levels
Fresh water available at all times

Some owners choose to incorporate raw or lightly cooked diets under veterinary guidance.

Health & Longevity

Savannah cats are generally healthy when responsibly bred.

Important considerations:

Reputable breeding with health-tested lines
Regular veterinary care
Awareness of hybrid-specific needs

Average lifespan: 12–20 years

Breed Generations Explained

Savannah cats are categorized by generations (F1–F6), which indicate how far removed they are from the Serval ancestor.

F1–F2: Larger, more exotic, and require experienced owners
F3–F4: Balanced blend of wild appearance and domestic temperament
F5–F6: Fully domestic in behavior while retaining Savannah traits

Each generation has unique traits, and matching the right cat to the right home is essential.

Is a Savannah Cat Right for You?

Savannah cats thrive with owners who:

Enjoy interactive, intelligent pets
Have time for engagement and play
Provide structure and enrichment
Understand the responsibility of a hybrid breed

They are not a “set-and-forget” cat, but for the right home, they are extraordinary companions.

Legal Disclaimer: Savannah Cat Ownership Restrictions

Savannah cat ownership is regulated in certain areas due to their hybrid status. Laws vary widely by state, city, and county. It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify all local and state regulations before purchasing or placing a deposit on a Savannah cat.

Bast’s Savannahs does not assume liability for:

Changes in laws after purchase
Incorrect or outdated information provided by outside sources
A buyer’s failure to confirm their local legal requirements

Many regions classify ownership by generation (F1–F6). Some areas allow later generations (such as F4–F6) but restrict early-generation Savannahs (F1–F3). Other locations may require special permits or prohibit hybrid breeds entirely.

By purchasing a kitten, the buyer acknowledges that:

They have researched and confirmed legality in their area
They understand all local requirements, restrictions, and permits
They accept full responsibility for meeting and maintaining compliance

Bast’s Savannahs reserves the right to request proof of legality before finalizing any sale or transport.
