TICA registered exotic cat breeder">About Elite Hybrid Cats — TICA-Registered Exotic Hybrid Cattery

Elite Hybrid Cats is a TICA-registered exotic hybrid cattery with over 12 years of specialised breeding experience across Savannah cats, African Servals, Caracals, Chausies, and wild felid species. We are one of a small number of catteries in North America with documented expertise spanning the full spectrum from SBT-registered domestic Savannahs through HP F1 hybrids and USDA-permitted wild species. Our facility operates under full USDA oversight and state exotic animal permits, and every placement we make is compliant with local, state, and federal regulations.

We exist because we believe that the finest hybrid and exotic cats deserve the finest care and the finest homes — and that connecting extraordinary animals with extraordinary owners requires a level of expertise, transparency, and post-placement support that most breeders cannot provide. Over 12 years, we have placed kittens and exotic cats with clients across the United States and internationally, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

What TICA Registration Means

The International Cat Association (TICA) is the world's largest genetic cat registry, maintaining studbook records for over 70 domestic cat breeds and hybrid breeds including the Savannah and Chausie. A TICA registration number confirms that a kitten's lineage is documented, pedigree-verified, and traceable through the association's centralised database. When we say we are TICA-registered, it means:

• All breeding queens and sires used in our Savannah programme are individually TICA registered
• Every litter is registered with TICA within the required window
• Every kitten receives an individual TICA registration certificate documenting at least three generations of verified lineage
• Our cattery name and breeder credentials are on record with TICA and can be independently verified at tica.org

For buyers, TICA registration is the primary protection against misrepresented generations or fabricated lineage — it is the most reliable assurance that an F1 is genuinely F1 and not an F3 or unrelated hybrid.

Our Programme — 12 Years in Development

Building a programme capable of producing HP F1 Savannahs, silver variants, rare colour Servals, and USDA-permitted exotic species takes time — measured in years and litters, not months. Our foundation Savannahs carry some of the strongest Serval-lineage bloodlines available in North America, developed through careful selection over a decade-plus of breeding. Our Serval sires receive full exotic veterinary care from a specialist with zoo-medicine credentials, in enclosures designed to the standards of accredited facilities.

We do not produce high volumes. We produce a limited number of exceptional kittens each year — typically 30–50 Savannah kittens annually across all generations, plus a smaller number of wild species individuals. This intentional limitation ensures that every animal in our programme receives the care, time, and attention that distinguishes a world-class cattery from a high-volume operation.

What Sets Us Apart

• Full documentation transparency: We provide TICA papers, DNA parentage tests, BAER hearing tests (where applicable), HCM echocardiogram records for breeding stock, and generation certificates. We encourage buyers to verify every document independently.
• USDA-permitted wild species: Our Serval, Caracal, Lynx, and Puma programmes operate under full USDA oversight — ensuring our wild animals receive standards of care that exceed typical private programmes.
• Lifetime buyer support: We are available to our buyers by phone and email for the life of their animal. Questions about health, behaviour, or care at any age are welcomed and answered personally by our team.
• International expertise: We have successfully placed animals in 12+ countries, navigating CITES documentation, import health certificates, and destination-country permit requirements. International placement is not an afterthought — it is a significant part of our programme.
• 2-year genetic health guarantee: Our health guarantee exceeds industry standard in both duration and scope, covering genetic conditions diagnosable within 24 months of placement.
• No early placements: Our kittens leave at 12–14 weeks minimum. We do not negotiate on this. A well-developed kitten is the foundation of a successful placement.

Our Clients — USA & Dubai

Our clients include exotic animal collectors, veterinary professionals, wildlife educators, and families in the United States who simply fell in love with the Savannah breed and wanted the best. A substantial portion of our international placements go to the UAE — where a culture of exotic animal appreciation and the resources to provide world-class care have made Dubai and Abu Dhabi significant destinations for our finest kittens. We have strong relationships with exotic animal permit authorities in the UAE and work closely with Dubai-based exotic veterinary practices to support our Gulf clients.
