I've been in contact with someone who's selling their Savannah kitten. I was told she's worth $1000 but they'll adopt her out for $100 - $150. She's only 6 months old. I'm a bit leary about this "deal" (note the date of the photo and she looks grown to me) and was just wondering if anyone knows if she is Savannah or not.

Here is her picture:



Thanks a ton!

unless they can provide papers, she's just a spotted tabby - albeit a very pretty one!

Just looks like a spotted DSH to me, if she really is a Savannah they should be contacting the breeder before attempting to rehome her themselves as it's in most contracts that they want the cats back if you cannot care for them anymore.

I don't see any Savannah in there - not the ears, nose nor even head shape!

Regardless of what she 'is' $100 isnt a bad price to pay for adopting/rescuing a kitty.

I doubt she really is what they say.

She sure is a pretty kitty. I'd take her in a heartbeat if I were you

I agree with the post above me. She is a really gorgeous kitty!

She doesn't look much like a Savannah to me either, her ears are too small. It's really hard to see her pattern based on the way she is sitting, but for a cat worth $1000, I'd expect a lot more warmth (lighter brown) to her coat and much more contrast (spots stick out more). Right now, it looks like she has a pattern flaw where her spots turn into a stripe near her shoulder. She also seems rather small for a Savannah.

Ask if they have papers for her, for $1000, I'd expect to see some!!
