About Us

Hello and Welcome to an A1Savannahs.

A1Savannahs has a rich history as the original founder of the Savannah Cat breed. Formerly known as New Horizon Bengals, our cattery was USDA Licensed, a Preferred Breeder Registered with The International Cat Association (TICA), Cat Kingpin Certified, and a member of the Feline Conservation Federation.

Founded by Joyce Sroufe, a pioneer in exotic cat breeding, A1Savannahs began in the late 1980s and registered its first Savannah litters in 1994. Joyce’s groundbreaking work established the Savannah Cat as a recognized breed, earning her a reputation as an expert in exotic cat breeding and care.

The legacy continued under Martin Engster, who carried on the tradition of excellence in breeding Savannah Cats. Martin dedicated over 15 years to breeding healthy, happy, and stunning Savannah kittens before closing the breeding program to focus on other endeavors.

Today, A1Savannahs has evolved into a trusted source of knowledge and inspiration. With decades of combined experience, we are committed to sharing valuable information about Savannah cats and other pets through our blog. Whether you're an experienced owner or simply curious about these magnificent animals, A1Savannahs is here to guide and inspire you.

 Our Goal

At A1Savannahs, our mission is to be the ultimate resource for Savannah cat enthusiasts and pet lovers alike. While we no longer breed Savannah cats, we remain dedicated to sharing our passion, expertise, and knowledge through our blog. Our goal is to educate, inspire, and connect with the community by providing valuable insights into Savannah cats, other pets, and the joy they bring to our lives. We strive to be your trusted guide, offering information and support to help you create a happy and fulfilling bond with your pets.
