The Serengeti cat was bred to resemble a wild serval—without any wildcat ancestry. Developed by crossing Bengals and Oriental Shorthairs, this breed is graceful, long-limbed, and covered in bold spots.

Serengetis are alert, confident, and active. They love to run, leap, and explore, often perching high to observe everything around them. Social and curious, they form close bonds with their families.

This breed is vocal like the Oriental and appreciates interactive play. They’re not ideal for quiet homes where cats are left alone for long periods.

If you’re looking for a domestic cat with wild looks, energy to spare, and a bold, loving personality, the Serengeti is a striking choice.
