Hey there, I’m Almate from ExoticCattery, and today we’re diving into the world of F4 Savannah cats. These stunning felines are taking the UK and USA by storm, and I’ve seen firsthand why they’re becoming such popular pets.
About F4 Savannah Cat
F4 Savannah cats are the result of breeding a Savannah cat with a domestic cat for four generations. They’re part of the Savannah breed, which started by crossing a Serval (wild African cat) with a domestic cat.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with these cats, and let me tell you, they’re something special. F4s typically have:
- 15.6% wild Serval DNA
- A lean, muscular build
- Striking spotted coats
- Large ears
- Friendly, active personalities

The F4 Savannah cat will be very similar to the F3’s. There is much overlap in terms of size, type and look between the F3, F4, and F5 Savannahs.
The F4 females will not lose size compared to the F3s. They too will be 10-12 pounds and measure a couple inches taller and longer than a typical domestic cat. Not big cats, but taller and lankier in their body proportions than a domestic. The F4 males will usually fall in the 14-18 pound range and will appear to be 1.5 times the size of a domestic.
Color of the F4 Savannah Cat
The color of the F4 Savannah cat should be very similar to that of the F3. The variety of color options is the same. In general, though, the coloring tends to lose some of the vibrancy that is found in the higher generations. Once again, there will be considerable variation in quality from breeder to breeder. Along with the quality variation will come a price variation. It is at this point that some will occasionally be available in the $500 range. However, to get one that resembles the wild ancestry as much as possible, buyers will generally have to spend more.
The body type of the F4 Savannah cat will also be similar to that of the F3. Some will be extremely types, while others within the same litter will lean more towards that of the domestic cat, being a little shorter-legged, rounder-faced-faced, and thicker-middle. Unfortunately, it is difficult to gauge an individual’s body type until they are 8-10 weeks of age, and a lot of kittens are already spoken for by this age. In general, many of the F4 Savannah cats will give up overall substance, appearing frailer and more refined. Some may consider this type, but the Serval is not a frail featured cat.
F4 Savannah Cat Pricing: What Affects the Cost?
When it comes to F4 Savannah kitten cost, several factors come into play:
- Breeding expenses
- Location (UK vs USA)
- Gender and coat quality
- Breeder reputation
I’ve noticed that males are often cheaper than females because they’re less valuable for breeding. A top-quality coat with bold markings can also bump up the price.
