Description

Serval Cats available | Servals, Servals For Sale UK

Serval cats are wild cats native to Africa, characterized by a slender build, long legs, small head, large ears, and a coat with golden-yellow to buff coloration spotted and striped with black. They are medium-sized cats weighing between 9-18 kg and standing 54-62 cm at the shoulder.

Servals are solitary carnivores that prey on rodents, birds, frogs, insects, and reptiles using their excellent sense of hearing. They have overlapping home ranges of 10 to 32 km² and are vulnerable to predators like hyenas and African wild dogs.

While serval cats may seem exotic and appealing as pets due to their unique appearance, it is important to note that they are wild animals with specific needs and instincts. Servals retain their wild behaviors even when bred in captivity and do not make good house pets. They are strong, fast, have an incredible capacity for jumping, and can be difficult to contain in a home or enclosure setting.

Diet and Nutrition

Serval cat / kitten use their sight and hearing more than their sense of smell to find their prey. They often play with their food before eating it. Servals are highly intelligent cats. When feeding them, a game or puzzle that makes the cat problem-solve will cause the meal to be more rewarding for them (this is called enrichment).

In the wild, servals eat whatever is available, which makes providing the most natural diet as pets difficult. You may not necessarily have access to everything Africa has to offer wild servals, but rodents, rabbits, birds, fish, insects, reptiles, and frogs are all readily available to provide a varied diet of protein sources. Whole prey should be offered but don’t be alarmed if your serval eats so fast that he regurgitates everything right back up.

Are serval good pets?

Serval cats are not suitable as household pets. They are wild animals native to Africa that require vast, fully enclosed outdoor spaces, a specific diet consisting mainly of raw meat, and a lifestyle that is impossible to recreate in a typical home environment. Servals are intelligent, athletic, and independent, making them difficult to train and contain. They are prone to escaping, which poses dangers both to themselves and to the public. Furthermore, serval ownership is restricted or banned in many jurisdictions worldwide.

Therefore, it is strongly advised against keeping serval cats as pets. Instead, those interested in these beautiful animals should support reputable conservation efforts or view them at accredited facilities like zoos or large cat sanctuaries.

Is it legal to own serval cat?

Owning a serval cat as a pet is subject to legal restrictions in various states and countries. In the United States, servals are illegal to own in many states, while others require special licensing or permits. It is crucial to check your state and local laws before considering the purchase of a serval cat to ensure compliance with legal requirements. Even in states where ownership is allowed, servals are not recommended as pets due to their wild nature, specific care needs, and potential dangers they pose to owners and the public.

It is essential to prioritize the well-being of these wild animals and consider supporting conservation efforts or visiting them at accredited facilities rather than attempting to keep them as pets
