My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Saia and Sammy MUST be adopted together. There are NO exceptions.

Mother Nature teaches kitty moms to move on from their kittens, making space for their next litter. "Go. I am done with you". Saia is one of the kitty moms who are the exceptions to that rule. She loves her goofy kitten, Sammy, devotedly. They are so sweet together, so connected. A few months ago she was way larger than him. Now her big boy dwarfs her.

They came from a breeder. The person who purchased them asked a neighbor to take care of them while she moved. Later she said, "I cannot take them back due to landlord problems". The neighbor brought them to us.

And how fascinating to have this beautiful pair in rescue with us. They arrived quite stressed and frightened. All had not been well in their world. We were told how affectionate the mom was "when she knew you". She is affectionate and will jump on a lap for petting but still can be startled by noises or sudden movements. Her boy is more bouncy, extroverted, and mischievous as kittens tend to be. Sammy is a world explorer, curious about everything. We don't know if she had other kittens. Savannah's are fairly hard to breed and generally only have 1-3 kittens so he may be her only one. Young herself, this is probably her first litter. It is so satisfying to watch them unfolding and learning and enjoying themselves. Their lives are just getting started.

We have kept Saia and Sammy for a few months before posting them. They have been fixed, vaccinated, chipped, etc, and are amazingly healthy. Sammy has grown like a weed into the long legs and body lines typical of Savannahs. It is such a pleasure to watch their agile, spotted bodies move together like the amazing athletes they are. They can be easily identified- Saia has golden eyes and Sammy's are more hazel. These are high-energy cats and they need a spacious home. Some of my photos show them playing in a catio which is great fun for them. Like living with Bengals, choosing to live with Savannahs is a lifestyle choice.

These two are super smart kitties who will bond closely with their humans. With their high intelligence, curiosity, and high energy they do best with active humans. They need an environment designed to entertain and interest them and humans who have the time to bond deeply with them. These are not suitable cats for most children, their adopters need to be experienced, savvy cat owners. We have no idea how they would be with dogs ( other than in charge).

Some family will be so lucky to have this sweetly bonded mother and son.

Saia is spayed, vaccinated, FELV tested, dewormed, microchipped, eats wet and dry food, and is litterbox perfect.

She is fostered by Harriet in Santa Cruz.

Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue is dedicated to matching exceptional cats with qualified adopters who will cherish their pet and create an ideal forever home.

If you believe you are the perfect adopter for Saia (and Sammy) please tell us why in the comments section of our Adoption Application, and contact Harriet at harrietluvskitties@yahoo.com If you are unable to reach Harriet please email us at info@purebredsplus.org.

NOTE: We prefer families with children bring them to the adoption appointment. Why? This allows interaction between the children and the cat. This helps ensure they will be a good fit for each other. A mismatch between a child and a cat is not in anyone's best interests!
