Lifespan
12 to 15 years

4 to 7 kg

20 to 25 cm

Origins
Originally developed in the 1990s by breeding a Bengal cat and an Oriental Shorthair, the Serengeti cat was created to resemble the wild African serval without using any serval genes. The breed thus exudes a wild appearance but with a friendly disposition.
Key Characteristics Of Serengeti Cats
Are Serengeti Cats Family-Friendly?
Yes. Serengetis are generally excellent family pets. They get along well with children and other pets, especially when introduced at a younger age. However, due to their active nature, they do best in homes where they can have ample playtime and interaction.
Common Health Issues & Considerations
Serengeti Cats may suffer from:
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Progressive Retinal Atrophy
Joint Issues
Nature / Temperament
Energetic, Alert, Confident, Playful, Graceful
Suitable Environment
While they can adapt to apartment living, Serengetis thrive in spacious environments where they can explore and play. A safe outdoor enclosure or cat-proof balcony can be a bonus, allowing them to indulge their natural instincts.
Other Considerations
● Their coat is short and fine, often with a golden hue, and features dark spots reminiscent of their wild ancestors.
● Their large, rounded ears stand upright, another feature that mirrors the wild serval.
● Despite their wild appearance, Serengetis are wholly domestic and have no wild DNA.
How can I take good care of my Serengeti Cat?
Nutrition
A high-protein, low-carb diet is ideal for Serengetis. Given their active nature, they burn calories quickly. Whether you choose wet or dry food, ensure it is high quality and free from fillers.
Grooming
Their short coat requires minimal grooming. A soft-bristle brush used once a week will help remove loose hairs, reduce hairballs, and keep their coat looking its best.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Check their ears weekly for any signs of dirt, redness, or infection. Clean them gently using a cat-specific ear cleaner and a soft cotton ball.
Dental care is vital. Brush your Serengeti’s teeth regularly with cat-specific toothpaste. Additionally, provide dental toys or treats to help reduce tartar build-up.
Trim their nails every couple of weeks to prevent overgrowth and splintering. Use a cat-specific nail clipper and be cautious not to cut into the quick.
Exercise
Interactive toys, laser pointers, and feather teasers can be used to engage them in play. Regular play sessions help keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
Training
While they’re intelligent and can pick up tricks quickly, Serengetis benefit from early socialisation. Positive reinforcement methods work best.
