Serengeti
Breeders
The Serengeti cat is the result of an experimental breeding of the Bengal and Oriental Shorthair cat breeds. The Serengeti is a tall, golden cat with beautiful black spots, very much like the African Serval but a much tamer version of this exotic cat breed. (Your living room is their jungle!) As a result of it's mixed ancestry, the Serengeti cat carries genes from a number of domestic and wild cat breeds; the Asian Leopard Cat, British Shorthair, domestic shorthair cats, Indian Mau, Ocicat, Egyptian Mau, Abyssinian, and Burmese/Bombay, Siamese and even Persian.
The Serengeti Cat was developed simultaneously in the USA and UK. American Serengeti cats have larger ears than the UK breeds due to the ears inherited from the American Orientals. For show purposes, allowable colors in the Serengeti are the same as for the Bengal cat: Leopard Spotted and Snow Leopard, plus melanistic (Black Panther).
If you are looking for a gorgeous, playful and very exotic cat breed for your family, the Serengeti just may be the breed for you.
