Short answer
A pet-home Savannah kitten from a registered US breeder typically costs $1,500–$5,000. Breeding rights, show prospects and in-demand colors cost more.
We don't yet have enough live Savannah listings on PurrTrust to show market data (we wait for at least 5 live litters), so this is our typical range for registered US breeders, not live prices.
Price on its own tells you little about health. Whatever you pay, ask for the parents' health-test results; the Savannah breed guide lists which ones matter.
Exactly what's included varies by breeder, so confirm it in writing. Typically:
Shipping or a flight nanny is usually extra. Read what a kitten contract should include.
Rough US ranges for planning; prices vary widely by region, clinic and the choices you make.
| Cost | First year | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Setup supplies | $200–$600 | Carrier, litter boxes, scratching posts, cat tree, bowls, bed and toys. |
| Vet visits and boosters | $150–$500 | A new-kitten exam in the first few days, finishing the vaccine series, and parasite prevention. |
| Food | $300–$800 | Good-quality wet and dry food. Large breeds eat more. |
| Litter | $150–$400 | Depends on the litter type and the number of boxes. |
| Pet insurance | $180–$600 | Monthly premiums vary by breed, age, location and deductible. Buying before any symptoms appear matters. |
| Total | $980–$2,900 | Plus spay/neuter if not already done. |
For Savannahs specifically: Check local permits and your lease, HOA or home insurance before you buy, and budget for very tall cat trees, secure window screens and durable toys.
Keep an emergency fund or insurance for the unexpected; an emergency vet visit can cost more than a year of routine care. Talk to your vet about what your kitten needs.
From registered US breeders, pet-home Savannah kittens typically cost about $1,500–$5,000. Breeding rights, show quality, popular colors and proven, health-tested lines push the price up.
The price of a well-bred kitten pays for registered parents, health screening of the breeding cats, vet care and vaccines for the litter, and twelve or more weeks of feeding and socializing. Responsible catteries typically raise only a few litters a year, so these costs are spread across few kittens.
Not always, but it is the most common warning sign. Savannah kittens advertised well below the typical range, and especially below about $1,500, are frequently fake listings using stolen photos. Verify the breeder, meet the kitten on live video, and never pay by gift card, wire, Zelle or crypto.
Typically age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, a vet check, a microchip, a written contract with a health guarantee, and registration papers (often released after proof of spay/neuter). Some breeders spay or neuter before the kitten goes home. Confirm exactly what is included before paying a deposit.
On top of the purchase price, budget roughly $980–$2,900 for the first year: vet visits, food, litter, supplies and pet insurance, depending on where you live and the choices you make. Check local permits and your lease, HOA or home insurance before you buy, and budget for very tall cat trees, secure window screens and durable toys.
