Wyatt ~ F1 Male Savannah Cat 3 mos ~

Wyatt ~ F1 Male Savannah Cat ~ 3 Months I would like to start off by saying thank you Select Exotics for everything you've done for me, I couldn't be happier. This all started one night when I was looking online for exotic cats. After searching for a while I came across a website that was all about savannahs. I looked through all the breeders sites and I also contacted a few of them. Most of the breeders I talked to were very unprofessional and didn't help me out at all. I then called Select Exotics, the one's I should have called first. Their website blew away all the other competitors by three touchdowns. I looked through everything they had on their site. Right then I knew where I was going to get my F1 savannah. So right away I called and spoke to Holly. I told her everything I wanted in a savannah and how particular I was. She put my name down on a waiting list.

In the mean time I asked Dale and Holly if it would be possible for me to come down there and interact with their cats. They didn't even hesitate before saying "Of course." Within a week I was on a flight out to Illinois. I arrived at the Hummel's house in no time at all because of Holly's perfect directions. When I got to their house Dale greeted me at the car and welcomed me into their home as if I were family. While talking with the Hummel's I looked around and noticed that they monitor all of their females that are ready to deliver and all of the newborn kittens. I was also amazed to see how clean everything was and how well everything was set up.

Holly then gave me a tour that I will never forget. She did such a thorough job of explaining the cats and with such great detail that after a few minutes I felt like a cat expert. Then she took me back inside to show me some of the kittens that they had. Holly brought out a couple of kittens each time and every time I was in awe. You can't help but fall in love with these beautiful creatures, especially when they are cuddled up in your lap. The hardest part of the trip was leaving the Hummel's house without a kitten. I knew that all along I wasn't going to pick one up right then, but it was still hard anyways. The trip out to Chatsworth was one of the top ten greatest experiences I've had in my life. It was what you call "short and sweet."

It was a matter of just a few weeks, lots of e-mails and a couple litters later that an F1 male came available. I was so thrilled to hear the great news that I wanted to fly back out there to give the Hummel's a great big hug. Before picking up my kitten Holly kept me very informed through pictures of my kitten and updates telling me how he was progressing throughout the whole process. A few days before picking up my savannah Holly called me to let me know everything I needed to know about the departure and the arrival time.

When it was time to pick up my kitten I made sure to get there plenty early. I waited for his arrival with such enthusiasm. In the distance I saw a gentleman carrying a kennel with my baby in it. When he handed it over to me I couldn't believe how well everything was covered up. They also taped food and a letter onto the kennel. The letter gave me all the information about my kitten and even how to feed him. When I got home I brought him upstairs to my room and opened the kennel. The Hummel's told me not to pull him out, but let him come out on his own. He took awhile before deciding to come out so I put some food and water in front of the kennel and then it was only a few minutes before he came out. I blocked off half of my room with a two foot board so it wouldn't be to overwhelming for him. It took about two hours before he decided to jump over my barrier and explore the rest of my room. A few days later he - Wyatt - was introduced to my parent's Chihuahua and family. The Chihuahua and Wyatt became friends right away. Thanks to Select Exotics for giving me the right advice and my new best friend.
