    !!!SERVAL RESCUE!!! Help us name our newest resident, please leave suggestions for this female serval!

    An African Serval was limping along in the Arizona desert until she collapsed alongside a road. She had almost completely given up the will to live. She was probably a pet or perhaps used in the hybrid breeding scheme that has become all the rage where Servals are bred to domestic house cats to produce Savannah Cat hybrids. The domestic cats are often killed in the process. The kittens sell for thousands of dollars, but when they mature they typically spray and bite and make awful pets. The hybrids are usually discarded by the time they are two or three years old.

    I hate crappy animal breeders :mad:

    I'm glad she's somewhere safe :) As for a name, how about Aisha, or Bahati, which means luck?
