Select Exotics Savannah Cats - Cabery, Illinois

The best experience with a breeder we've ever had. They are quick to respond, patient with our changing minds and very knowledgeable and helpful with our questions. This is our first Savannah Cat after years of wanting one. Our F3 came to us at 6 months old and is the most outgoing, friendly and healthy cat. He's very well socialized and beautiful as ever. Shipping was a wonderful experience for us. Paperwork was seamless. When we are ready for a second we won't buy from anyone else ❤️
Gorgeous cats

We have 3 savannah cats from Holly, and each time we went through the process, she was on top of everything. Any questions or concerns were answered promptly and with patience.
Our cat kids are much older now, and not one of them have suffered any form of illness. Although each have completely different personalities, they are all very loving and affectionate with no behavioral issues in the slightest, with one of them wanting to be petted ALL THE TIME. She obviously breeds with health and temperament in mind. If we are to consider another savannah, we will only go to Holly.
Many thanks for such amazing cat kids.

Note: These are NOT outdoor cats. Our cats go outside with us and stay close to us. They will come when called as well. They do not behave like ordinary cats. They are more like dogs. They play fetch, come when called, and sit by you when at rest. They do not stay outdoors on their own. They need plenty of activities which we do with them, such as hiking and going for walks and runs while on lead.
The smallest female is very independent yet comes each time she's called. Male does not like the outdoors, surprisingly, so he's the couch potato.

Getting my Savannah Cat with Holly was such a pleasant experience. She is super professional, her cattery is world-class, and very clean, and the kitten is more than I could have ever hoped for. My kitten, Jazmyn, is very intelligent, playful, and social. She gets along with my miniature Australian shepherd wonderfully, and everyone who meets her falls in love with her. I take her for walks on the harness and we can barely walk a few feet without someone wanting to see her or pet her. She is beautiful and has perfect posture. She acts like a little princess, and she is one!😁 Holly was patient and very easy to work with while we were making our decision. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. We even got to see some rheas while we were there. Holly helped me pick the perfect kitten, and Jazmyn has bonded so well to me. I am so thankful. These cats are top-notch and worth every single penny. I would not go anywhere else for a savannah cat. These cats are truly stunning creatures. I am sure we will be back soon. 😉 Thanks, Holly!

The most beautiful, well socialized, and healthy cat I have ever had! So much care and attention is given to these cats. My F3 male is fabulous and not only an amazing companion cuddling cat but he's super trainable. The owner Holly is kind and attentive to any questions and support to make sure many very specific supportive directions are provided for the best care and incorporation of your new cat into your home. Would highly, highly recommend.

I've been looking for a long time to get a Savannah cat and decided on this place the owner, Holly was very professional and informative with all my questions and you can see the pride of ownership and professionalism she puts into her cattery from the time you pull up to the building and walk into the doctors like office and the cleanliness of this cattery. If you've been thinking about acquiring a savannah kitten, I highly recommend Select exotics for your new savannah kitten.

This is the nation’s longest serving breeder of Savannah cats, with a fabulously clean, well designed facility. See the virtual tour pics. This is a labor intensive business, coupled with a challenging breeding process. Breeding hybrids is NOT like breeding domestic to domestic. Holly and Dale’s kittens are TOP quality, with beautiful coats, physical structure and sweet, lovable and confident temperaments. They are worth EVERY penny! I disagree strongly with the one star review!! I suspect the $4.000 price tag on an F4 was either for a male or an exceptional female. Holly and Dale know what they are doing when evaluating kittens for price. I was offended by that poor review and that’s why I’m taking the time to set the record straight. I live in Utah, far from Illinois, yet I’m going back for seconds, notwithstanding the distance. I place a great amount of confidence in Holly and Dale and their expertise in continually producing TOP QUALITY Savannah kittens! Thanks Holly and Dale!

I love my F3 male we got. He is absolutely beautiful and has fantastic features!!! He is the coolest, well behaved, intelligent cat I have ever had. While they charge more than some breeders, u get what u pay for.
