I posted this in my journal and thought that I would share it with all of you as well.

There are only two White Servals in the World and both of them live at Big Cat Rescue! White Sevals are not albinos as they have pale blue to green eyes and some golden patches. They are born and mature approximately 20% larger than the normal coloured Servals. For the first year, their health is much more delicate and we have never known of White Serval females to survive more than two weeks. Big Cat Rescue will not sell (although they've been offered $75,000.00 each) nor allow others to breed their Servals because they do not want them to be exploited and the only way they can control that is to control their offspring. The demand for White Tigers causes many of the normal coloured cubs, born to these litters, to be destroyed. The Sanctuary will not be a part of anything that could cause the same to happen to golden coloured Servals.
