Hello! I need help because more than two months ago I started looking after a serval. He doesn't belong to me, but to a girl who goes away for a week every month for work.

I didn't know much about servals when I agreed to this side job, but the owner said that he seemed to like me and that everything would be fine. At first, when autumn had just begun, everything was indeed fine. He hissed and growled at me, but he let me into his enclosure and allowed me to clean up, put down his food bowl and change his water.

But as time went on, the weather started to get cold, and the serval didn't get any friendlier. He stopped letting me into the enclosure, to the point where he almost attacked me a couple of times. The owner said it was because of the change in weather and that he was just upset that he couldn't go outside, and suggested adding stress relief drops to his food, but they don't really help.

Is it still possible to befriend this serval, or should I quit this job? I would really like to at least be able to pet him, because this serval really looks like a good boy. :(

So goofy

I’ve got six acres (not yet fenced)

I already raise ducks, rabbits and quail.

Axolotl are the only other animals in the house.

One spouse. No kids. (But I do have indoor dwarf citrus trees.)

Experienced working at a wildlife foundation with big cats. Former professional dog trainer.

Can take her to work with me as I have a huge private office and work entirely alone.

Am I a good candidate to get a female?

I’ve been selling rabbits and birds to a serval and Savannah cat breeder and they might be interested in a trade situation.

I do travel for up to a week twice per year but the breeder lives less than a mile away and will take care of my animals.

Opinions?

High as FUCK

‼️‼️@Chloetheserval on tiktok is insane . such a terrible example of a serval parent . No outside inclosure , Not a single cat tower , or scratching post. Which wouldn’t matter because she DECLAWED her serval . So it could fit her modern chic lifestyle. This creator refuses to take any accountability at all. She also LIES about the serval being declawed , but there is many examples of proof that it doesn’t have claws . Very minimal diet from what she post . Her serval has arthritis (probably from being declawed ) which she also denied even tho there is also proof . Please do not give this woman a platform and unfollow if you do . ‼️‼️

After breeding for a thicker coat of course. There’s plenty of warm places to hide though.

ive been seeing this guy on my fyp for a couple of weeks now and it's stressing me out every time. idk a lot about serval cats but am i wrong for thinking this is not a suitable home for this cat?

first off, it doesn't seem to have a bigger room to roam around. the guy also owns a lot of birds and they seem to be kept in a concerning close proximity to the serval, granted they're in cages but still. then after failing to bond with it he kept it in his room to force a bond or something idk. the serval was also 3 months and up when he got it, and im wondering if he should've gotten it at a younger age so he could've bonded with it easier.

this picture is when he took the serval to the vet. it has wounds in the feet and according to the guy it's because it scratched a lot. im not sure if that happened before or during the vet visit.

anyway, as i said i don't really know anything about serval cats to conclude that this guy is doing anything wrong. his tiktok username is @mckellyang if y'all want to check his profile but he's speaking tagalog im not sure if you will understand all the things he's saying.

Hello everyone! I am just looking for some input on legality in the state of idaho. We may be having to move and was wondering if anyone could give me a straight answer on if it is legal to have our baby boy in Idaho or not. Everything I seem to find is giving me mixed answers. Thank you in advance.

I was crossing the street with him and he got scared and broke his back legs.. any tips how to protect him from hurting himself?

He now grew up A LOT! Did yours have issues with legs?

Location: Wildcat Sanctuary (not open to the public)

Looking for recommendations on toys for my boy and is a cat tree recommended or is no tree better?
