Because of her unique voice we call this little spotted beauty Shakira. She brought the savannah fever into our home, as I had the chance to get a photo shooting at the home of Ernst Neubauer who cares for New Horizon Tansania a F2 female from Joyce Srouve. Tansania had five kittens at that time - and they were simply amazing. As a part of my job I have photo-sessions with different breeds all year round - and usually I'm quite happy to return home to my Norwegian Forest cats and I really do not miss anything - but with the Savannahs it was different,... I knew that we need a Savannah to make our family complete! And I was lucky, because the female that stole my heart during the visit at Mr. Neubauer's home was for sale. Some weeks later we fetched the little spotted kitty home - and she was adopted at once by one of the Norwegian Forest Cat females who nursed her until she was almost half a year old.

"Shakira" is something very special and the whole family loves this marvellous cat.
