The Serengeti cat in South Africa

The Serengeti cat is a medium-sized feline by crossing a Bengal and an Oriental Shorthair. Although considered a domestic breed, we put the Serengeti in our hybrid category because of its Bengal blood.

The Serengeti was bred to resemble a Serval. Its athletic build and long sleek body contribute more to his exotic look. With the longest legs of any domesticated breed, the Serengeti can jump up to 7 feet in the air.

The Serengeti ancestors is Oriental Shorthair and Bengal (= Asian Leopardcat x Domestic)

There are Serengeti cat breeders in the U.S.A, U.K and in Australia. New is this cat breed in South Africa. The first generation Serengeti is bred by Sarah's Cattery Spotted Feline in 2019. The bengal and oriental parents is registered and the Serengeti kittens will be registered in 5th generation.
