A1 Savannahs Celebrates
World's first Savannah Cat to win Supreme Grand Champion Title
Congratulations to SGC A1 Savannahs Lightning
owned and loved by Janet Spain
In TICA, this is the highest title awarded to cats in the championship classes. A cat must first become a Quadruple Grand Champion before it can begin to compete towards the title of Supreme Grand Champion.
In the Savannah breed world, no other cat before has ever achieved this.

Kathrin Stucki of A1 Savannahs
Having had the pleasure of being associated with Kathrin Stucki of A1 Savannahs for a while and having now met her during a recent visit to the USA (April 2009), at her cattery, I would like to write, briefly, about her. [...] From my point of view (I am not in the cat fancy but write about it) A1 Savannahs seems a large and very professionally managed cattery. Great emphasis is placed on quality in respect of the appearance, socialization and health of their cats. See full article.

Martin Stucki flies to El Salvador to assist with the ideas and realization of the Serval habitat in the Fundacion Refugio Salvaje. Besides the Servals from A1 Savannahs, the enourmous animal park houses lions, tigers, cougars, leopards and Margays. The president of the park, known for providing paradisical enclosures for all his exotic cats, relied on Martins expertise in the preparation of a complete balanced feline diet as well as the set up of a Serval habitat that provides plenty of species designed enrichment and adequate breeding quaters.

Kathrin Stucki, certified in thermography imaging.
Kathrin Stucki flies to Brazil to get certified in the Thermography course for Veterinary Medicine. A course offered by the veterinarian and thermography specialist Dr. Solange Mikail. The course is specifically designed to take and evaluate thermography images of exotic animals.
The special invitation to the night visit of the national zoo allowed behind the scenes entry to all of the big and small cats. Kathrin was as interested in working with the images of adult Servals and Savannah cats as she enjoyed to learn more about the Snow Leopards, the Tigers or the arthritic problems of the Hippo that was examined by Doctor Mikail.

A1 Savannahs - Protagonist in including advanced US Military technology into their routine Serval Hybrid care program.
A1 Savannahs is using the latest FLIR Thermography cameras.
The infrared heat that an animal emits from its body can be "viewed" with an infrared camera. The heat patterns that can be seen, show a trained practitioner how the blood flow is normal, or abnormal, in a particular animal. Blood flow can be either increased or decreased, both indications of health problems.
Unlike X-Ray or Ultrasound, Thermography doesn't radiate waves and therefore it is a save, non-invasive, but reliable diagnostic tool. A1 Savannahs Thermography cameras complete the preventive health care program designed to detect health problems before they show clinical signs.

The Oklahoman Newspaper, By Jennifer Palmer
Visitors to A1 Savannahs have included movie stars and famous athletes, as well as regular folks, searching for a furry companion that might raise an eyebrow or two. The cats, which are bred from wild African servals, can be as big as a toddler, pounce 7-feet in the air and run alongside their owner.
On a recent afternoon at the rural farm, owned by Martin and Kathrin Stucki, dozens of cats sauntered back and forth in their cages. They feasted on raw chicken legs and, when taunted, playfully batted at a feather dangling from a stick.. see full article

Exotic cats bred as pets
By Jennifer Pierce, NEWS 9
Martin and Kathrin Stucki claim to have bred the perfect cat. It's a mix of wild and domesticated. And if it sounds dangerous, the couple says it's only wild in appearance.
"It's the first time ever possible to have a cat with a wild appearance, that has a domesticated personality," Kathrin Stucki said.
A full grown Savannah is the size of a small dog, it even walks on a leash and if it's trained it will play fetch.
"It's very easy to train them to play fetch," Kathrin Stucki said. "They bring toys back faster than my dog." ... see full article
