Savannah cats are a mixture between a domestic cat and the serval, a large wild cat from Africa.
The cat is recovering at Wildlife Freedom Animal Rescue after it was tranquilized by animal control officers.
Wildlife Freedom owner Dee Garbowski told News 12 the Savannah cat, which can cost more than $20,000, was likely kept as a pet.
