Iwanna Savannah Cats and Kittens
Our work is with mini doodle puppies, but the wider family of businesses also includes a dedicated Savannah cat and kitten breeder. Iwanna Savannah, based in the Kansas City area, is an in-home cattery run by Melissa Morris. The program is a TICA member and focuses on Savannah cats, with a particular emphasis on earlier generations such as F1 and F2, while also raising F3 through F6 kittens.
What a Savannah cat is
A Savannah cat is a recognized hybrid originally developed from the African serval and domestic cats. Generation labels describe how many steps a kitten is from that foundation. Earlier generations, including F1 and F2, typically look and behave more like the wild ancestor: taller, with long legs, large ears, and a bold, dog-like curiosity. Later generations are usually more domestic in size and manner while still carrying the spotted coat that families recognize.
These cats are not a casual first pet for every household. They are intelligent, active, and often very attached to their people. They need secure indoor space, climbing room, and an owner who understands the legal rules for the generation they want. Some cities and states restrict earlier-generation Savannahs. Anyone serious about the breed should confirm local rules before reaching out to a breeder.
About this cattery
Melissa’s background is rooted in hands-on animal care, including foster work and a long-standing interest in raising young animals with close attention. The cattery is a home setting rather than a public storefront, which is similar in spirit to how we raise our own puppies. Families may arrange to meet kittens at the cattery. The program also works with families who cannot travel to Kansas City; the details of that arrangement should be confirmed directly with Iwanna Savannah.
If you are considering a Savannah, ask which generation the kitten is, what the parents are like, what the kitten already knows, and what the written terms include. Look at recent kittens and adults, not just photographs of a single coat pattern. A thoughtful Savannah cat and kitten breeder will welcome those questions. Iwanna Savannah invites families to call or text 913-593-5929 to talk through a possible match.
How this relates to our puppy program
A Savannah cat and a mini doodle puppy are very different companions. One is a distinctive hybrid cat with generation-specific needs. The other is a small designer dog with a different grooming routine, training path, and daily schedule. We do not raise Savannahs, and Iwanna Savannah does not raise doodle puppies. Each program stays focused on the animals it knows well.
What the two programs share is a place in the same family of businesses and a preference for clear conversations before a family makes a commitment. If you came here looking for a mini goldendoodle or mini bernedoodle, you are in the right place. If you have been searching for a Savannah cat, the cattery above is the program to contact.
