Belle Hollow Farms & Exotics is located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. Currently we raise F1 Savannah cats, F-2 Savannah cats, Egyptian Maus, sheep, pigmy goats and miniature donkeys. We became a farm when in 1997 we acquired our very first sheep. Shortly thereafter we bought a few pigmy goats to help the sheep graze out pastures. We then bought our first miniature donkey as a guardian for our sheep and goats against the local coyote population. The farm portion of our operation supplies lambs to the local 4H club for the annual lamb show in September and antibiotic and hormone free freezer lambs to the public at large.

We acquired our first serval, Jeffree, in 2004 and that's when we added the "exotics" portion of our name. The summer of 2005, our presence was graced with the birth of our first F1 Savannah kittens and we couldn't be happier! In the fall of 2006 we acquired Radar a new serval male kitten and set him up with a breeding pool for F-1 Savannahs. We also retained one of our first F-1 females Pearl and have brought in Merit an Egyptian Mau as her potential mate in the summer of 2007 and are producing F-2 Savannahs.

Add to our joy we now have hopes and aspirations of breeding Geoffroy's cats. The fall of 2005 we were lucky enough to acquire two wonderful little Geoffroy's females, Maya & Figment. The summer of 2006 we acquired Miss Mouse, a female Geoffroy's kitten and have secured a male Geoffroy's Chili on breeding loan. Although Chili at age 13, has not yet sired a litter we hope that he and Maya may give it a try in the summer of 2008 providing a new set of genetics to a very shallow gene pool. Additionally, our most recent acquisition Karl from Zoo Jihlava in the Czech Republic is our real hope for some real progress in expanding the gene pool. He is a proven breeder at age 10 and is only closely related to 2 other cats in this country. We hope to introduce Karl to Figment and later to Miss Mouse. We are still trying to acquire additional males and females of unrelated lines so we may keep these beautiful creatures viable in the U.S. captive breeding stock.
