He is doing wonderful!!! Getting along great with my other pets...even the Pekingese and the Chihuahua!! He is so smart and alert! We are narrowed down to two names...Kijani, which means warrior in African...and Kamau, which means quiet warrior. Here are some pictures of him on the ride home...and the days that followed.....he came off the plane as calm and loving as could be! He thinks one of the sinks in our master bath is his own jacuzzi!!!! LOL..and he sees himself in the mirror and is adorable! It was certainly worth the wait to get one of your kittens!!
I will keep you posted!!!!

Hi John,

I’m just updating you on our kitten. We have chosen Kovu for his name. He is growing like a weed! And soooo lovable, of course on his own terms, but sometimes I lay down on whatever bed he chose for the night and he will stay and snuggle all night long! He is very smart; has learned how to open door by himself, as our home has the fancy door handles instead of round. He jumps up...hangs on till it opens!

For anyone contemplating to purchase a kitten from John, I can’t say enough about how honest and accommodating John was through the entire transaction. Waiting for Kovu was worth it! Anytime I have a question and e-mail John, I have an answer that very same day! So you will not have a new kitten, have any questions and NOT have them answered ASAP by John.

John, I will keep you posted with new pictures of Kovu. Oh, I have 5 other cats, a Chihuahua and a Pekingese... for those of you wondering if a Serval will get along with other animals. After about a week, they are all running around together, playing. and it’s especially great and funny to watch Kovu chase the dogs, and then the dogs chase him....they play for hours and you can sit and just watch for hours...its amazing!!

Thank you so very much John!

Hi John,

Hi John,

Love your new web site..and was SO happy to see the photos of Kovu in your slide show.....Wanted to send you some new photo's..he is 10 months old now...and HUGE! But such a KITTY!!!   Lauren calls him "Big Kitty"! he is the center of attention. Who-ever comes to the house is just in awe of him...and he is timid! Runs and hides...then comes out (curiosity) and let's everyone pet him.......he is enfatuated with the freezer ice maker...figured out how to push the bar himself to get his OWN ice!!!  lol...I take him for walks...he loves to sniff and investigate everything he sees move.

John,he is absolutely gorgeous. See for yourself!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!I just got home with my new baby!!! He's absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be more pleased! He is soooo sweet and I love to hear him chirping! I think he is going to adjust fine...he's very playful, and I have a pair of furry house shoes that he has adopted and carries around like he has made a huge kill! it's hilarious. I would definitely refer you. I just can't believe how tame, sweet, funny and happy he already is! Thank you so much!

John, We have had Sebeka four weeks today and I can NOT thank you enough for bringing this MAGNIFICENT cat into my life!!!!! Sebeka and my "Fat Cat" are the best of friends. They sleep in bed with me and my husband every night. Sebeka loves to play 'attack kitty' at 2 a.m. in the morning. She is so spoiled and gets jumbo raw shrimp, raw chicken liver/gizzards and her ZuPreen. She is getting so big!!! Check out her video at: YouTube search: African Serval Sebeka. She climbs up my body to eat her dinner. I just ordered her a custom outdoor cat enclosure with a tube/shoot that connects to a window frame. The cats will have access to go inside and out. It will be serval proof too. Thanks for EVERYTHING! I would definitely recommend you as an A-Plus breeder. We could NOT be happier!

Sebeka is doing WONDERFUL!!!!!! She adores all of us and is so loving and friendly. She gets along with our cats, Dobermanns and other pets. She loves raw shrimp and will eat it as a treat only. She also inhales her Zupreen-she is growing fast! She has had ZERO accidents. I think my other cats have taught her to use the little box. As I am typing this-she is rubbing up against my arm. TOO CUTE!!!!!! I have a vet app't to get her microchipped and then in 3 weeks she will get vaccinated, spayed and declawed. She is the GREATEST cat ever!!!!! You have done an extraordinary job raising her. Thanks so much!!!! Kerry and Chris 

Check out the videos of Sebeka on www.YouTube.com under African Serval Sebeka. One is showing Sebeka eating a jumbo shrimp and the other is Sebeka climbing up my body to eat. We LOVE her so much!!!!!!!!!!

t has been an unbelievable experience owning my new cat, "Joey." I love him so much! He is absolutely spoiled and has the rule of the entire house. It's hard to find such an animal with a demeanor like his; loving, gentle, playful, and sweet. He gets along great with my other animals and it's hilarious watching him with the ones that don't like him too much, because he just looks at them like they're stupid! He follows me everywhere, and sleeps in my bed with us. The easiest part was doing business with John. I guess we worked together for about a year and the wait was definitely worth and I can't wait to get another one. I would love to talk with anyone who's considering doing business with Valley Stables and Exotic Livestock. John was very fast with replies, and extremely nice on the phone and in e-mail. I would tell anybody considering to work with John, that the whole experience was very professional and friendly at the same time! Thank you, John, so much.

Hello John
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! The kitten is gorgeous! He is so affectionate and ate a good meal as soon as we got him home. I really can't thank you enough, he is so stunning! Please know he is already loved so much. I will send pics of him when he is older if you like. I am overwhelmed, there simply is no words strong enough to tell you how happy you have made my son and I.
May God richly bless you!

Warmest Regards
Christine

ABSOLUTELY use me as a reference. I would be so pleased if I could help in any way. Use both my phone numbers - Home 604-472-0176 and cell 604-729-7058.
I would certainly ease any concerns international buyers may have. Your customs paperwork was EXCELLENT and flawless, we had no delays or any problems whatsoever at "Canada Customs and Border Agency", Kona (that is what we named him) was happy and healthy and lovable as soon as he came out of his crate. You prepared him so well and in comfort for the long flight. You certainly raise your animals to be extremely social, he jumps right into our arms for some loving! Your service is SECOND TO NONE!!! Kona is the most welcome addition to our small family and will give us much joy for many years to come. 
I still can't thank you enough. It must be a lot of work and time consuming to breed such wonderful exotic animals, but know your work is rewarding. We are the happiest people in all of Canada!

With sincere appreciation,
Christine

Hi John
I hope you and all your wonderful animals are doing good. We have had Kona for a few months now and he is the best pet we have EVER had. He is so gentle and loving and such a clean cat. He is simply beautiful inside and out. We have so much fun with him and he has completely bonded to my son, they are inseparable. Kona has made himself quite at home here, his favorite place is sleeping on the leather couch which is the picture I am sending you (my flash was a bit too bright). Servals sure are magnificent animals, one of God's finest creations. He has a good appetite and I was able to get the Zupreem Feline diet shipped up here, we also feed him various meats which he loves too. He is so happy and healthy and a VERY special member of our family. My mother lives with me and has Alzheimer's so every time she sees Kona it is like she is seeing him for the first time and it brightens her whole day, again and again. Kona has been very therapeutic for her as he is so gentle and social and she just loves cats so much. It does my heart good to see her face light up when she sees him and he comes to her like he knows she needs to pet him. I wish I could put it into words better.

I have received quite a few phone calls for reference and I just love bragging about our beautiful Serval. Again, I want to thank you. Kona brings true joy into our lives every day!

Blessings,
Christine

Hello John
 
I hope you remember me, I bought Kona, male serval from you over a year ago now.  I just wanted to give you an update.  He is still THE best pet I have ever had.  He has grown into such a beautiful cat and has the mellowest temperment.  He is sweet and loving and I get affectionate head butts from him everyday!  He is so healthy and happy and still brings us so much joy.  I am attaching a picture for you. 
 
Thank you again for this wonderful cat.
 
Best regards,
Christine

Hi John,

Just a quick note to let you know my kitty is doing very well..   she is very happy here and getting along with everybody famously.

I was curious how long your waiting list is for a male at this time?

Sincerely
Mike
