How big do Savannah F1 Cats get?
F1 Savannahs are the most
exotic of the Savannah cat breeds and are the closest to their wild ancestor, the African Serval. As such, they are the biggest of the Savannah cats. F1 males tend to be between 17 and 25 pounds and are typically 15 to 19 inches tall at the shoulder. Lengthwise, F1 Savannahs usually range between 20 and 25 inches. Females tend to be slightly smaller and lighter than males, usually weighing between 12 and 18 pounds and standing between 14 and 17 inches tall.
Due to their wild Serval genes,
F1 Savannahs are not full grown until 3 years old. They can range from 20 to 30 pounds and reach the height of a medium-sized dog. They also have longer legs than a domestic cat and their tails are usually longer and thicker.
Predicting the size of a Savannah cat can be difficult as every cat is different and genetic diversity can cause them to vary in size, even within the same generation. To help confirm any trends in size by generation, the Savannah Cat Association asked a variety of Savannah cat owners to submit their cats’ generation, sex, height, and weight.
Overall, F1 Savannahs are the most expensive and largest of the Savannah cats, reaching sizes of up to 30 pounds and 17 inches tall. They also take the longest to reach full maturity, not reaching their full size until 3 years old.
