Serval cats typically cost between $3,000 and $10,000, depending on factors such as breeder, location, genetics, age, and level of domestication. Some prices can go even higher, especially for servals with exceptional bloodlines or those bred with higher domestication levels. In some cases, serval hybrids like Savannah cats can be more affordable alternatives. Additionally, the overall cost of owning a serval cat includes expenses for enclosures, food, veterinary care, and permits, which can add significantly to the initial purchase price.

For example, serval kittens are sometimes priced around $5,000, while certain F1 Savannah cats (which are hybrids with serval genetics) can cost from $13,000 to $20,000 or more due to their rarity and breeding quality.

In summary:

• General serval cat price: $3,000 to $10,000+
• Serval kittens often around $5,000
• Higher-end serval hybrids (F1 Savannah) can be $13,000 to $20,000+
• Additional costs for proper care and legal requirements also apply.
