Are Savannah cats illegal? Most states allow private ownership of Savannah Cats, individual counties can pass further restrictions. Lawmakers are starting to understand that Savannah Cats have included in-laws meant for pure exotic cats. If a state restricts F1, F2, and F3 it will usually allow F4 (fourth-generation) or further removed from the African Serval Cat. All generations of Savannah cats are illegal in Georgia, Hawaii, Nebraska, and Rhode Island.
Are Savannah cats illegal in California? It is legal to own a Savannah cat in California, even without a permit. This includes Savannah cats of all Filial (F) generations and is true of any hybrid cat that has not been bred or mixed with a big, or serval (wild) cat.
