ADOPT OR POSSIBLE FOSTER WITH INTENT TO ADOPT- PHOENIX, AZ
Smokey is a 7 month old Savannah kitten. We believe him to be F5 or possibly lower. His owner had to move and found that she was unable to take him with her. A neighbor took him in and is only able to keep him short term. Smokey needs to be placed rather quickly; shipping will not be available for him because of this.
Smokey is said to be a friendly, energetic, into everything kitten. He does seem to get along well with the current foster’s cats, dog and older child. We believe he will integrate well with other animals and cat savvy children.
?He does try to play rough and is a door darter. Potential homes will need to be prepared for this and have the ability to deter these behaviors. ??
Smokey has been neutered but may still need to be vaccinated and have a microchip implanted. Depending on his current foster’s ability to get him an appointment. ?If this is still necessary Savannah Cat Rescue will reimburse his new home for these necessary procedures.
If you are interested in becoming Smokey’s forever home and you are able to pick up in Phoenix in the very near future, send us an email to
info@...
Emails should include information about the home and family interested in adding this boy to their lives. Please include information about all humans and animals in the family along with a description of the living situation being offered.

Available Handsome F5 Walter in Washington
Please note - no shipping, but owner will meet someone part way if necessary.
Walter is a handsome F5 boy in Bow, Washington who needs a new family. ?His owner reports that he is friendly, playful and does well with older children. ?Unfortunately when his owner moved to a house with a lot of neighborhood cats around, Walter became upset and started to urinate outside the box on occasion. When a family member moved in, they were not pleased with this behavior and so it was decided that Walter needs a new home without the stress of outside cats at the windows.
Walter’s new home needs to be patient with any introductions to new cats, have no young (under 5) children and preferably no dogs as he has never seen a dog. ?A home without outside neighborhood cats would also be a plus. ?His new home will also need to be patient in case he stress marks at first.
If you would like to be considered for this lovely dark spotted kitty boy, please email us at info@...
Thank you!

EMERGENCY FOSTER - Yannick - Female Savannah - 9-12 years old - Duarte California
Yannick was taken to a Veterinarian near Duarte, California for euthanasia because her owners did not want to take her with them...lucky for her, this kind vet did not euthanize Yannick and instead contacted SV Rescue. Right now, she is living in a cage and really needs a home, even if temporary, until we find her a permanent home.
Yannick is estimated to be between 9-12 years old. She is a beautiful later gen savannah, who is sleight in stature but big in heart! She is also quite the looker with her beautiful marble coat! Yannick is said to have perfect litter box habits and is a talker...she will keep you company all day if you want someone to talk to - she is said to always answer when spoken to? :-) Yannick will nip if overstimulated, so light petting is all that she needs until she is more comfortable in a home. And it could be that this is her personality - we are just not sure. She is said to be very friendly, but the vet practice would like her placed as an only pet for now or perhaps a dog may work out long term! A home with young children would not be appropriate because of her nipping and her age. Her vaccines are up-to-date, she is spayed, so all she needs now is some love and understanding... Please email info@..., if you can give Yannick a temporary or permanent home. Tell us about yourself and your home and why you would be a good roommate for Yannick! Adoption fee will be $150!

AVAILABLE - MERLIN - NONSTANDARD F3 MALE - MCLEAN, VA
Merlin is a black and white (outcrossed) F3 Savannah from Savannahcatland (no longer in operation). He came to us over a month ago and was placed into foster care to evaluate if the disclosed issues with him (inappropriate urination and hair plucking) were resolvable. It turns out that a change of environment and reduction of stress meant that Merlin no longer acted out by peeing, nor felt the need for overgrooming himself. He's done?so well that he's been weaned off the Prozac he had been on for this issue.
Right now, Merlin is living with four dogs and two cats, but one cat is showing signs of not appreciating him hence the foster home does not wish to pursue adoption. That cat is a former rescue and we support keeping the status quo in their household. What they have noticed though is that the issue is not with Merlin, he's not been at all aggressive but they feel his size and presence is enough to intimidate their other cat. Merlin tends to keep to himself, he loves looking out the window on the cat tree. As you can see from the pictures though, he's been known to sleep with dogs and next to humans too. He is also pictured eating with the other cat in the household quite easily. Merlin needs a home willing to play with him, they feel that the exercise and stimulation of wand toy play has helped him with his fur plucking issue. His litterbox habits have been pristine. He does great with dogs and cats that aren't dominant. The foster describes him as submissive in personality. We really want to find Merlin the right forever home this time around, so please contact info@... with a description of your household including why it would be great for Merlin. His adoption fee will be $200. Include your location and if you would require him to be shipped.

Update: AVAILABLE - F6 MALE - NEWARK, DE
UPDATE - The owner is willing to ship to the right home, the cost would of course be the adopter's expense. ---In SV-Rescue@..., <SV-Rescue-owner@...> wrote : Sinatra is a four year old neutered F6 male from the now-defunct Duma Exotics. He is available in Newark, DE.
His owner reports him as a great cat, smart and loving, he has lived alone with his owner since kittenhood. There is one single issue that the owner has lost patience with and does not wish to continue to work on. Sinatra is marking one particular location in his house, most likely this is in response to viewing wandering cats outside the house. Unfortunately, most pet owners only contact us when they are beyond the point of wishing to work on an issue. {Please don't offer advice in this thread, we are looking for a new home for Sinatra not help working on his issue.} As Duma has lived alone with one person all his life, it is possible the best fit is a similar household. We do not know how he will adapt to a busier household, to other cats, dogs or children. He is a later generation Savannah so I would assume with a gradual thoughtful introduction though, he would adapt to a companion or two.
If you think that you would be a great home for Sinatra, please email info@... with your location and a description of your household and how you would approach Sinatra's marking issue. At this time shipping is not available, if that changes the post will be updated. Pictures are attached to the post.

NON-STANDARD F3 MALE - WALDORF, MD
Merlin is a black and white F3 Savannah neutered male. I know that is unusual, he's the result of his mama escaping her breeder home and coming back knocked up by some neighborhood tom. He is now 4 years old and is reported to be a large cat, ~17lbs.
Merlin is being surrendered for inappropriate urination (one of the most common reasons any cat of any breed is surrendered), but he is also reported to have an issue with hair plucking and is currently on medication to help with this issue. Most of the urination is near the litterbox in the house but he has been peeing on furniture as well. Sometimes it is very difficult for us (the rescue team) to know how resolvable these issues are as the owner is usually so frustrated when they surrender the cat that they are not open to considering the motives for the cat's behavior or whether it is indeed resolvable. I do think that there are things to try with Merlin's peeing (including Cat Attract litter, and quality enzyme cleaners), and stress seems to be a big factor in his hair plucking behavior. The owner reports that they have tried diet change and they did extensive testing (no records available) to determine that it was not allergies. Merlin is reported to not have ever been good with the owner's child who is now 5 years old, hence we would only consider homes with older children. He does get along okay with the other Savannah and the dog in the home but the owner feels he'd be just as happy as an only cat. I get the feeling that Merlin might do better with someone with the time to really pay him attention and learn what he is needing in life. Shipping is actually available (at your expense) which is unusual in our rescues.
If you are interested in offering Merlin a home, please email us at info@... with your location, and a description of your household and why you would be a good choice for him.

Queen of the Savannah: Elsa is seeking a new home. Currently in Modesto California (F3 Female)
"Elsa" is the queen of the savannah in the Lion King Movie and is also a queenly smart looking F3 savannah cat located in Modesto California. Elsa is spayed and incredibly pretty ! Being an F3 she could be considered a little more of a tomboy than some lower generation savannahs. She likes to headbutt and she can play rough with other cats and with young children. A home with children over 7 is fine as long as they are willing to play without using their hands as toys. Fishing rod type of toys would be perfect for Elsa and her new family! Elsa is intelligent and will thrive with someone who will train her new tricks using treats.She already knows how to fetch and retrieve toys. She is lovable with her people and given time will warm up in a new situation. We can help you with integration guidelines if you are the lucky person who adopts her. She would live ok with another cat if it is not a dominant personality and willing to bend to her queenliness. But they may never be BFFs . If you have a throne ready for Elsa please write us at info@... with her name in the subject line and tell us all about your castle. Her adoption fee is 30 pieces of gold.. or $200 US payable to info@... (3rd pic is the type of toy she would like)

F5 Melanistic ( Sleek Black) Savannah boy in Modesto California
Looking for a black panther to slink across your hearth this fall ? This elegant beauty is looking for a new home. His name is Dino and he is probably named after that smooth singer Dean Martin ! Being ultra cool, Dino Likes other COOL CATS and children that are past the young noisy "runaround" age. He is an affectionate loving dude that is looking for new digs that suit him. NO dogs please. ahem. When no one is watching, Dino will let loose and chase bugs and pounce on things that make noise such as paper bags and noisy toys. If he feels you are not living up to his expectations he will be vocal and let you know ! At 3.5 years old Dino has lots of time left to SHINE in your life and your home. He is Ultra clean about using the litterbox and would expect the same from his new owner. His Adoption fee is $200 US payable to info@.... Dino has no way to get to an airport to be shipped to you. His licence was revoked when he was speeding once in a convertible with questionable cat friends and therefore will rely on you to come and get him. Dino is an F5 Male Neutered ( sssshhh) Savannah cat that is currently in Modesto California. Please email Teresa at info@svrescue,com if you think you can live up to the expectations of this glorious boy !

STILL AVAILABLE - ESTIMATED F3/4 - SPARKS, NV
Rico is a young (estimated between 1 and 2 years of age) Savannah male, from his appearance we think he is F3 or F4. You can read a bit of his backstory below but I have a couple corrections to make. Rico is currently living with two children (6 & 10 years old) and the foster feels that he is great with them. We still don't know about dogs, but he's a confident enough kitty that with appropriate introductions he probably would be ok.?
Additionally, we have been told that Rico's issue is with only one of the two cats in the house. The Bengal male is an assertive personality and it is he and Rico that cannot get along. We don't know if this is due to Rico's recent neutering (as intact males tend to be competitive with other male cats) or if this is a natural reaction of a cat that has had to survive outside and views other cats as competition for resources. The other cat in the home, a domestic shorthair does not bother Rico and in turn Rico is fine with him. So another cat in the home that is not assertive or dominant could potentially work, but we do think in that case a home has to be prepared to spend months integrating rather than expecting it to be fine within a couple weeks.
Rico is in Sparks, NV and the foster is willing to drive a little to meet a new home and I think likely would deliver to Reno airport if someone wished to fly in for Rico. Please email info@... if you are interested in offering Rico a home, please give us your location and a description of your home to help this process!
Thanks! Brigitte ---In SV-Rescue@..., wrote : Rico is a brown spotted neutered male available in Sparks, NV. Rico was a stray handed into the shelter at Marin Humane Society a few weeks back. They tested, vaccinated and most importantly neutered Rico... we have no background on Rico.
The foster home has tried hard with Rico but although he is super-friendly to the humans and they love him dearly, a month of introductions have lead them to decide that he will not integrate with their existing two cats. It is not uncommon for a cat that has had to survive outside to view other cats as the enemy and feel aggressive and competitive towards them. Thus we feel that Rico needs to be either an only cat or with an experienced home with the space to keep Rico separate for months not weeks to work on integrating into their home. We still do not know if Rico would be okay with dogs or children, but feel that his friendliness to the humans in his foster home probably make him suitable for children. The foster home has agreed to be available to drive a little way towards meeting a new home, and most likely if someone wished to fly into Reno, NV they could meet you at the airport to carry Rico back in cabin. If you feel that Rico is the cat for you, please email us at info@... with your location, and a description of your household and why it would be a good choice for Rico. His adoption fee would be $200.

Re: AVAILABLE - F3/4 MALE - NOVATO, CA
RICO IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME NOW, THANKS TO ALL THE GREAT HOMES THAT OFFERED! IF HIS OWNER IS NOT LOCATED THEN THE HOME IS WANTING TO ADOPT HIM. ---In SV-Rescue@..., <brigitte@...> wrote : Rico is a handsome young Savannah male recently brought into Marine Humane Society by concerned neighbors who noticed that he was seemingly homeless. Rico has no microchip and does not seem to have anyone looking for him. He is currently being FIV/FeLV tested, neutered and vaccinated and will be available for release to Savannah Rescue only, please do not contact MHS about him.
We do not have any background information on Rico, we don't know if he is good with children, dogs or other cats. As he seems to be a young cat he is likely still quite adaptable, and once his hormones have dissipated after his neuter we anticipate him being easy to integrate into a household. He is however a young Savannah male hence he is likely energetic and interactive and would not be suitable with older cats that may not appreciate his ebullience. He is reported to be quite handeable and sweet with people, even in the stressful shelter environment.
As Rico is in a shelter situation, there is no ability to get him to an airport for shipping, hence he is available only to local homes that can drive to pick him up in a timely manner.Because there is still the possibility that his owner might be located, we will require a home to foster only initially, with the ability to adopt Rico if the owner is not found. His adoption fee would be the standard $200 at that time.
Please email info@... if you would like to offer Rico a home. Include your location, your ability to pick him up, and a description of your household and why it would be a good fit for Rico.

AVAILABLE - F3 MALE - TIBURON, CA
Bodhi is a 10 year old F3 neutered male, located in Tiburon, CA. He is reported to be very social and friendly but prone to overstimulation. He is being surrendered because his living conditions simply are not meeting his needs. He needs more space and he needs more company.?
Previously he had lived with an Abyssinian happily although being a larger cat (~16lbs of lean muscled cat) he could at times play too rough with the older cat. For this reason we would prefer that Bodhi go to a home with either a very patient stoic cat or with a similarly high energy cat that would be up to his level of play. Bodhi has been known to bite his owner, she and her vet have determined that it was related to territorial issues as the space is very small and Bodhi seems frustrated if his perceived space is invaded. It may also be a buildup of energy with the lack of space to run and lack of companion kitty to expend his play energy on, but for this tendency to nip and bite Bodhi cannot go to a home with small children (less than 10 years old). Bodhi has not lived with dogs, and has appeared scared of them when he has seen one in the past. It is possible with the right introductions, a calmer large type dog might be fine but smaller dogs would likely not fit well.
Bodhi is in excellent health with regular vet visits, up to date on vaccinations, teeth cleaned and comes with health insurance that can be transferred to a new owner. He can also come with a collection of toys, beds, cat tree, food and litter. His adoption fee is $250 and he is not available for shipping. The owner wishes a local home.
If you feel your home would be great for Bodhi, please email info@... with your location, and a description of your household and how it would fit Bodhi's needs.
