Overview

Servals are high-energy, long-legged African felines known for their athletic leaps, sharp intelligence and strong hunting instincts. Understanding them requires far more than curiosity; it demands legal compliance, specialized facilities and careful, welfare-centered management. This handbook gives readers a clear, realistic overview of the principles used in licensed, professionally supervised serval care. You'll learn the fundamentals of legal and permit requirements, why regulations differ by region and how these rules shape responsible decision-making. The book explains the core concepts behind secure outdoor runs, climbing structures, visual barriers and the environmental features that support natural behavior without offering step-by-step construction plans. Nutrition chapters introduce how professionals think about whole-prey-based feeding in a broad, conceptual sense while emphasizing safety and nutritional balance. A section on behavior explores social tendencies, communication cues and the instincts that influence activity patterns. You'll also find an introduction to leash and recall training as practiced in controlled, expert settings, along with enrichment ideas that acknowledge a serval's hunting drive without compromising welfare. The handbook touches on socialization approaches, stress awareness, risk-reduction strategies and the observation habits that help caregivers monitor daily well-being. Whether you're a student, wildlife volunteer, educator or someone researching exotic species management, this handbook offers a grounded, ethical look at servals and the thoughtful care frameworks designed to support them responsibly.
