Its Origins
The Savannah breed was brought about by cross breeding a Serval cat, which hails from the grasslands of Africa, and a Siamese cat. The first Savannah cat was bred by Judee Frank who was a Bengal breeder and was born on the 7th of April 1986. After continued efforts by Patrick Kelly, cat breeders began to breed this particular breed, and in 1996, The International Cat Association (TICA) accepted the breed for registration.
