Our Breeding Queens
The quality of every kitten we produce begins with our queens — our carefully selected, health-tested, TICA-registered breeding females. Each queen in our programme has been chosen for her Serval trait expression, structural correctness, temperament, genetic health status, and compatibility with our sire bloodlines. All queens are annual HCM-screened, PRA-tested, FIV/FeLV negative, and maintained at optimal health through regular exotic-specialist veterinary care. Meet our current queens below.
F1 Savannah Queens
Our F1 Savannah queens are exceptional F1 females with strong Serval trait expression, used primarily to produce F2 litters when bred to our Serval sires or verified Savannah males. These are the most valuable queens in our programme — an outstanding F1 female can produce exceptional F2 kittens for 6–8 productive years.

Frequently Asked Questions — Breeding Queens
How often are your queens bred?
We follow a strict breeding schedule designed around each queen's health and wellbeing. Queens are not bred every cycle. Most queens produce 1–2 litters per year with adequate rest between litters. Queens showing any decline in body condition, health markers, or temperament are given rest years. Our breeding decisions are guided by our veterinarian's recommendations and our own observation of each individual animal.
Do you sell breeding rights to kittens?
Breeding rights may be available for select kittens to approved TICA-registered catteries. Breeding quality individuals are discussed individually during the purchase process. The large majority of our kittens are placed as pets with spay/neuter agreements. Buyers interested in establishing a breeding programme are welcome to discuss this with us at the inquiry stage.
Are your queens health tested annually?
Yes. Every breeding queen receives an annual HCM echocardiogram, FIV/FeLV test, comprehensive blood panel, and physical examination by our exotic-specialist veterinarian. Records of all tests are maintained and available to buyers of kittens from each queen on request.
