Howdy yahsown888-ga,
Here are some resources that address your question.
"WHAT IS A SAVANNAH CAT?" presented by Foothill Felines Bengals & Savannahs.
http://www.hdw-inc.com/savannahwhatis.htm
"The Savannah cat is one of the newest breeds of cats currently being
developed by a select few breeders around the world. There are very few
Savannahs currently in existence, and the demand for them is quite high. The
Savannah is the result of crossing an African Serval cat to a domestic cat.
... The first documented breeding of an African Serval to a domestic cat was
accomplished in the mid 1980's by [Judee] Frank, a Bengal breeder and cat
fancier in Pennsylvania."
