Savannahs are commonly described as an F1, F2, etc. Each generation of Savannahs is labeled with a foundation or 'filial' number. For example, a Savannah with a Serval as a parent is an F1 and typically has 50% serval genes. An F2 Savannah has a serval as a grandparent, the F3 has a serval as a great grandparent, and so on. In order to have true registered breed of cat. The Savannah breeders must move beyond foundation cats and achieve SBT status. This is the ultimate goal for the breed.

F1 - F1 Savannah kittens are the result of breeding between an African Serval and a domestic cat or a Savannah, the resulting kitten is an F1 Savannah kitten.

F2 - F2 Savannah kittens are the result of breeding an F1 Savannah cat with an appropriate male, the resulting kitten is an F2 Savannah kitten. Our F2 kittens are produced by breeding our F1 Savannah with our F5 Savannah for maximum Savannah traits and disposition.

F3 - F3 Savannah kittens are the result of breeding an F2 Savannah cat with an appropriate male, the resulting kitten is an F3 Savannah kitten.

F4 - F4 Savannah kittens are the result of breeding an F3 Savannah cat with an appropriate male, the resulting kitten is an F4 Savannah kitten.

F5 - F5 Savannah kittens are the result of breeding an F4 Savannah cat with an appropriate male, the resulting kitten is an F5 Savannah kitten. Savannah cat to Savannah cat is best for maximum Savannah traits and disposition.
