Savannah, along with her serval companion Eli and Lily the white tiger, found themselves in a unique and challenging situation. They were the last three animals remaining at an event venue in southern California, which had closed its doors in 2021. The facility made the decision that they were no longer able or willing to care for these animals, and in their time of need, they reached out to Lions Tigers & Bears assistance.

LTB responded to the call and managed to rescue all three cats, transporting them back to the sanctuary. However, it was a bittersweet beginning for these feline friends. Eli, an elderly serval who was already dealing with kidney disease, unfortunately passed away a few months after his arrival at LTB. Given her age and condition, Savannah, also an elderly serval, requires specialized care to ensure her comfort and overall well-being, underscoring the importance of providing a safe and loving environment for animals in need.
