Savannah Rescue has a huge group of people (2830 people currently) that monitor its notification-only Yahoogroup list. This is a list set up that only moderators can post available cats. No cute kitty comments or discussions, just a way to learn about available cats. We have so many people but no cats in Rescue. And additionally, we in Rescue do encourage breeders to take their own kittens and cats back to rehome. So we want to offer a venue to home the kind of cat many of the folk on our Rescue list want, not necessarily a cute kitten but a cat that needs a good home.
So we thought on how to help those good breeders find homes for those cats and older kittens. There already are kitten classified lists, but we thought of one that was specifically for adult Savannahs. So retired breeding cats for example, or kittens/cats that were returned (usually through no fault of the cat).
We decided to limit the criteria for this: kittens must be at least six months of age for example. This is NOT another venue to sell kittens. The price/adoption fee is capped at$500, any shipping would be then negotiable. Cats must be spayed/neutered, this is not a venue to sell breeding cats either.
The list will be moderated, only posts that offer a cat/kitten fitting the criteria will be let through. Replies will go directly to the sender, not to the list. It thus will be up to the person posting the cat to vet the homes etc. We'd appreciate also a follow-up post when the cat finds a home too.
is the link to this new group. We hope it will fill a niche and help some adult Savannahs find great homes :-)
Thanks,
