The Serengeti’s short coat is relatively low maintenance.

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.

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.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.

Most Asked Serengeti Cat Questions

Yes, but it’s essential to ensure they are kept warm, especially during winter.

Yes, Serengeti Cats can be quite chatty, and their voice tends to be soft and chirpy.

Finding a reputable Serengeti breeder is the key to getting a healthy, well-behaved Serengeti kitten. Serengeti kittens for sale from ethical breeders have a much better chance of growing into calm, gentle adult cats. The average cost of a Serengeti for sale is usually around AUD $800 to $2000.
