Savannah cat spotted on heber road

[theboycj]

Was quitr amazed to see a savannah cat, which are bigger and what appears to be hybrid breeds of wild cats.

Not sure if someone couldnt cope with this animal and lwt it loose but thought to post it.

Oh wow. I?m amazed and really wish I?d seen it. I wonder if they?re allowed to roam or if it escaped or was indeed abandoned?

In the UK, F2, F3 and F4 Savannah cats are legal and available to buy from reputable breeders. It's illegal to own an F1 Savannah cat without a Dangerous Wild Animal Licence, which an average cat owner will not be able to get. Savannahs make lively companions.

Not sure but it was definitely one of those sacnmah cats, quite amazed to see it. Had to google it when i got home

I'd never heard of them before. According to the website quoted above, https://www.sainsburysbank.co.uk/pet-insurance/cat-breed/savannah, "You can expect to pay between ?800 and ?16,000 for a Savannah kitten. The cost varies greatly depending on their generation." So maybe keep an eye out for potential catnappers as well.

Just seen this thread- Was it just wandering around on it's own? Any more sightings of this mysterious beast?

Pretty sure I've seen it on Landells and that it lives there. To me it just looked like a bigger version of the usual cats always around.

I don't want to seem a spoilsport but with pet thefts on the rise it might not be a good idea to indicate where the cat lives.
