Where to see Savannah Cats in the UK

The Savannah cat is a striking hybrid breed that results from crossing a domestic cat with a serval, a wild African cat known for its long legs and large ears. These cats typically live in homes as pets, but they can also be found in some wildlife parks where visitors can learn about their unique characteristics. Savannah cats are primarily carnivorous and thrive on a diet of high-quality cat food, often supplemented with fresh meat.

While the conservation status of the Savannah cat itself is not formally evaluated, their wild ancestor, the serval, faces habitat loss due to human encroachment. An interesting fact about Savannah cats is that they can inherit a love for water from their serval ancestors, often enjoying playtime in pools or even baths. Families in the UK can visit various zoos and wildlife parks to see these fascinating creatures up close.
