Savannah Cat's History

In the early 1980's, Judy Frank bred an African Serval to a domestic shorthair cat. The mating produced one female cat, later named Savannah, whom went on to produce other female kittens to establish the Savannah breed. Other breeders were impressed with the unique look and friendly, outgoing temperaments of the Savannah and went on to begin their own breeding programs. In 1996, breeders submitted an application to have the Savannah registered with The International Cat Association ( TICA) but the TICA board had placed a moratorium on accepting any new breeds. It was not until the year 2000 that the Savannah was accepted for registration. In 2002, the Savannah was unanimously accepted into show status and was shown in May of that year. The popularity of the Savannah breed has continued to grow in monumental proportions.

The Bengal Cat's History

In 1963 Jean Mill bought a female Asian Leopard Cat and because the animal seemed lonely, a domestic tomcat was added to keep her company. An unexpected little female hybrid, named "Kin-Kin," was born later named bengal. This cat, in turn, produced a second generation litter. Beginning from 1975, Jean resumed her breeding programs after acquiring eight female ALC hybrids from the late Dr. Willard Centerwall, a physician and geneticist who was involved in research isolating the genes that are responsible for the ALC's immunity to feline leukemia (FeL). In 1980, while in India, Mrs. Mill brought back to California a male domestic cat . This animal's overall coloring and markings came close to the "look" of the ALC, but also had a coat that was very glittered. As this cat matured, it was bred to the Centerwall female hybrids, the offspring of which, became the genetic foundation for the present-day Bengal Cat. Doctors Greg and Elizabeth Kent were also breeding ALC hybrids during this time . Jean took an interest in their hybrid programs, and bred two of her females to their Asian Leopard Cat, Baghara Khan. Although Jean Mill is credited with laying the foundation for the Bengal Cat, others also contributed.
