Ashera
The Ashera, is like a mini-Leopard, spots and all, but it's really a cool blend between an African Serval and the Asian Leopard Cat bred with a domestic cat from Lifestyle Pets . Ashera can weigh up to 30 pounds, reports CNN.
"They are very friendly, very affectionate," breeder Simon Brodie said.
Ashera costs $22,000 (plus $6,000 for the premium placement option which will expedite kitten delivery by about six months) Lifestyle Pets has already sold several cats to customers around the world since the pricey pet was unveiled in May.
Once an order is placed, the Ashera is hand delivered (the cost of delivery is approximately $1,500 within the U.S.) by a representative who remains on hand for a few days to answer questions and facilitate the transition. Asheras come fully vaccinated with a microchip identifier, a supply of kitty food and cat toys, access to an animal behaviorist and a year of veterinary insurance included.
