SAVANNAHGANS® Featured Artist: Savannah Breeder Roman Spektor (aka “Savannah Spektor”) and His Custom Savannah Cat Harnesses

Four years ago, we started our breeding program, "Savannah Seattle." I told my wife, "I don't want to be just another breeder...I want to be more. I want our cats to enjoy their lives and not just be breeder cats". We bought our first F1 girl, and she instantly became our world. My wife and I trained her for many tricks and then started taking her on a leash. That's where my Savannah cat harness story begins.
In most cases, taking an F1 on the leash isn't as simple as people think. She freaked out immediately and almost got out of her harness. After that, we ordered one from a different company. One month later, and comfortable walking outside, she was spooked by a dog and got off her leash. I was lucky enough to catch her. At that point, it was evident that cat harnesses are one thing, but an escape-proof harness is another.
I asked my dad, who's been a tailor for over 30 years and truly has golden hands, to help me design a special harness. I was never happy with low-quality, cheap-looking, poorly stitched harnesses. That's how we got started. I test each one we create on our F1 and F6 Savannahs. I watch their reactions and ask myself, "what can I do better, and how can I improve it"? I create these pieces while working full-time and breeding incredible Savannahs.
After seeing almost every harness from all different makers, I can confidently say our harnesses are the best you'll find. They're the most comfortable, best looking (including authentic and designer patterns), and most importantly, the safest. We don't cut corners and take our time to make each piece a perfect, custom fit for your cat. They have a unique, soft, hair-free inner material for extra comfort. We use only brass or metal hardware (no plastic or cheap stuff) and a double safety with real Italian leather in most cases. We have dual D-ring options, double zigzag stitching, and a few other options for personalization.
After making hundreds of pieces, no two harnesses are identical. We create the same patterns but with different leather, hardware, color, stitching, etc. means people have a piece of art, not just a harness. It'll last longer, and your baby will be comfortable, safe, and look great. We fill our orders fast, knowing it's exciting, awaiting your new harness. We ship up to five business days at the latest—but usually 2-4 days on average.
I don't sell my products to everyone and evaluate case by case. I'll advise people to wait or advise about better training if warranted as it's never about making sales but doing things the right way. If I were to add the time to create the materials, communication, and shipping, I'd make minimum wage. I'm creating these for people who understand the investment and want the best for their babies. Open-minded people understand true quality, and some designer freaks in the mix love our classy designs!
Our harness prices range from $175 - $400.
We also make the absolute best leather collars, ranging from $125 to $175.
The matching leashes range from $175 - $225 and are the best-looking leashes, particularly great for taking photos. However, I always advise people to consider a retractable leash as a safer option while on an actual walk.
Being a breeder and knowing many sad stories, I created collars and harnesses compatible with the Fi Tracker as an extra protection measure. Prices for harnesses and collars that hold the tracker are the same; we make them differently.
I'm a rare owner who takes his F1 Savannah off the leash. How many people would train their F1 off the leash after being freaked out losing their baby earlier? Who'd take a breeding F1 off the leash? My wife wants to kill me and yells, "We spent $18K on this cat"!!! But passion is passion. Trust is trust. I have a unique bond with my F1 Savannah, Khaleesi, who's already had four litters of gorgeous black-nosed F2 kittens. She jumps eight feet in the air, plays fetch, loves playing in her water pool, and tolerates me, no matter how hard I try. The sky's the limit. Breeding's hard and successful breeding is even more challenging. We always push for the best and want to be the best at what we do. We often disagree with one another, but we're bulletproof when two people run a cattery. As a Savannah Cat breeder in the USA, we have the largest amount of followers (excluding one who bought fake followers). Families enjoy our daily stories and posts where we share many amazing pictures and videos that help others learn more about this amazing breed.
We're producing amazing cats in all aspects. We hustle and are always triple tasking; otherwise, we're behind. There's no other way to succeed. You have to give 120%. We're exhausted, but seeing our 34 families loving their kitties to death and having 100% positive feedback from all of them makes us feel very fortunate and proud of what we've accomplished.
