Real F2 Savannahs, or real Savannah's in general are NEVER that cheap. It costs around 300.00 dollars just to ship them by plane and that's within the United States, not even considering crossing boarders into Canada. Most likely this guy would send you a cat that is just a common breed of cat...
This hits too close to home. I am SO SO SO sorry for your loss Paula. I know how it feels, although Neka didn't have fip (the vets thought she had it in her chest for a time), and I know how heart breaking it is. May you meet Loki, and Panda Blossom and all of your animal loves once again on...
Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, they were taken with my cell phone at the time. This was Neka last year sometime, before she got sick. I don't have any of Sabriel showing her teeth yet.
I included the second image to show it wasn't photo shopped.

I don't know how likely it is, but I do know that cats can get interstitial cystitis that people get, even though it may not be the exact same thing. I did read through your...
Paula hun, I'm not trying to scare you but while I was going through the whole deal with Neka, the vet told me that hybrids are more likely to get things like FIP. Just make sure when you do get the new kittens that Loki isn't showing any signs and that the new kittens aren't either. Maybe get...
I agree with LDG.
But I did check with my vet to see if it's possible to get a biopsy from a live cat, and it is, however they just don't normally do it for fip for some weird reason. I mean if you can biopsy a tissue sample post mortem, you should be able to do it with a tissue sample just...
I'm sorry to hear that you put Panda down, she's in a better place now... Not that it really helps you much.
I'd be worried about all of your cats potentially contracting FIP, not just Loki unless you had them in completely different rooms which I know you didn't. From what I've read wet and...
I saw this post in my mail and kind of freaked out. Didn't realize until now that it was an old thing and thankfully Loki is fine. =) His tail looks great btw, just glad that he's okay. :)
Okay so I wasn't sure if I should put this in behavior or health, but decided here because it could affect my cats health.
Where she is most often is in her cat room which has vinyl flooring in my basement. I had orkin spray the edges of my whole house two months ago on Oct 17th, but the...
Okay her cat room as mentioned doesn't have carpet it has vinyl flooring, and the only things in there are her cat things and they are all very sturdy so she can't trash anything... But the reason why I made this thread was I was worried about her mental well being as well as emotional.
She has...
A) I've had two cats come to me by plane - both times in cargo holds - they both were fine within days. Then again they were not feral.
B) Good the TSA got fired, that was absolutely idiotic what he did.
C) I agree with the idea of socks, long sweaters, and potentially dan skin clothing over...
Maybe it's something that you did a long time ago that scared her. Start afresh by making it seem like she is a new cat in your life, at first have her in a small room (bathroom or some such) and let her get used to you again. Read to her, and attempt to play with her but maybe with only toys...
Yes I do plan on clicker training her but I couldn't give her treats for the first month because of the contract I signed with the breeder. Because of growing health and immune system I believe is the reason behind it. However that first month is almost over and I have read quite a bit about...
I was thinking about doing that when I first got Sabriel. However my vet advised against it, I had planned on getting a cat from the humane society because well I thought that way I would then be taking a cat that really needed a home as opposed to buying another expensive kitty. My vet said...
