BELOW ARE THE DIFFERENT BREEDS AT SPOTTED KITTENS CATTERY

READ ABOUT THEM TO SEE IF ONE MIGHT BE RIGHT FOR YOU

BENGAL CAT

The Bengal is descended from crosses between wild Asian Leopard Cats and domestic shorthairs. The first Bengal breeding program began in 1963 and the breed was first accepted for championship status in TICA in 1984. It is a large cat with a short glossy coat.

While most commonly seen in the brown spotted tabby pattern, they may also be found in the marbled pattern. Glittering refers to an effect on the coat that makes it looks as if the coat was sprinkled with glitter; rosetted refers to the spots forming distinct patterns, preferably with more than one color tone within the spot. Seal sepia, seal lynx, and seal mink, color patterns with a pale white or cream background, are popularly referred to as "snow" Bengals.

Well-bred Bengals are active, intelligent companions.  Most pet Bengals are wild only in looks, not in personality.

 An SBT (stud book tradition) Bengal represents at least four generations of Bengal-to-Bengal breeding, and thus will be no less than four generations removed from wild blood. F1 through F4  Bengals are anywhere from one to four generations removed (F1 is the offspring of a Bengal-to-Asian Leopard Cat breeding, an F2 is the offspring of Bengal-to-Bengal breeding with at least one F1 involved, and so on).  Most pet Bengals are F4s or SBTs.

 Bengal Kittens range in price from $400 to $700.

SAVANNAH CAT

The Savannah cat  is a new breed that comes from breeding an African Serval with a domestic cat. 

The Savannah cat has the spotted coat and large ears like the Serval  but with a more domestic personality. Savannah cats will walk on a leash and play like a dog. The first generation Savannahs have a long lean body.

They are smaller than the Serval but larger than a domestic cat.  The further down the generation line ( F2, F3,F4) their size will be closer to a domestic cat. Savannahs are affectionate and make great pets.

 They can get along fine with other pets and young children. Bengals, Oriental Shorthairs, Egyptian Maus and Serengetis are some of the domestic cats used to breed Savannahs. The first 3 or 4 generations of the males are sterile. All generation females are fertile.

F1 - F1 Savannah kittens is the result of breeding between a Serval and a  domestic cat, with the resulting

 kitten becoming an F1 Savannah kitten.

 F2 - F2 kittens are the F1 Savannah cat bred to an appropriate male cat having the correct type which results in the birth of an F2 kitten.

 F3 - F3 Savannah kittens are the result of breeding an F2 Savannah cat with an appropriate male.

 F4 - F4 Savannah kittens are the immediate offspring of an F3 Savannah parent.

 F5 - F5 Savannah cats are the immediate offspring of an F4 Savannah parent.

Savannah kittens range in price from $600 to $7,000.

EGYPTIAN MAU CAT

Egyptian Maus do bear a resemblance to paintings of ancient Egyptian cats, although this does not prove that they are actually of Egyptian origin. The first documented Maus were brought to the United States in 1956.

 The matriarch of the Egyptian Mau breed was a silver female named Baba.

These active, athletic cats have the randomly-spotted tabby pattern resembling wild cats, but are fully domesticated. In fact, the Mau is the only naturally-occurring pedigreed breed of spotted domestic cat. It is an intelligent and devoted breed with expressive green eyes and known for a slightly "worried" expression.                

       They are accepted in colors such as bronze, silver, and black smoke. 

Mau kittens range in price from $500 to $900

OCICAT CAT

The Ocicat looks like a small wild spotted cat, but is in fact a fully domestic breed originally created by combining the Siamese, Abyssinian, and American Shorthair. There is no wild blood in its ancestry.

The first Ocicat was the surprise side effect of an attempt to create a Siamese-style cat with Abyssinian-colored pointing in 1964. The experiment proved repeatable, and by 1966 this breed was accepted for registration by CFA, although it was not until 1987 that the breed was advanced to championship status in that association. It was not exported to Europe until the end of the 1980s, and was accepted in FIFe in 1992.

"Ocicats" are active, affectionate, and very social.

They are accepted for show only in the spotted pattern, but in several different colors. They are also available in many other patterns, such as classic, mackerel, and ticked tabby, but these are considered  not showable.

Despite their wild appearance, they are friendly, outgoing, people-oriented cats without being clingy or obnoxious. They are intelligent, devoted, highly adaptable companions.

Ocicat kittens range in price from $500 to $900.

SAFARI CAT

The Safari cat is produced by breeding a Geoffroy,s cat to a Domestic cat. There are less than 40 known to excise.

The Geoffroy,s cat is a cat that comes from South America. The domestic cat carries 38 chromosomes, while the Geoffroy,s possesses only 36 chromosomes.

The result has been Safari kittens getting as big as 25 pounds.

The Safari is a very intelligent animal that makes a great pet.

They are the most affectionate, of all the f1 hybrid cats.

Safari kittens range in price from $5000 to $8000.
