CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is welcoming a new furry face to its Cat Ambassador Program.
The zoo announced the arrival of a serval kitten from the Nashville Zoo named Theodore Roosevelt, or Teddy. His parents, Cleopatra and Winston Churchill, welcomed both Teddy and his brother Alexander Hamilton, who remains with the Nashville Zoo’s ambassador team, on Oct. 26, 2025.
“Teddy is getting used to the sights and sounds of the CAP building. He has lots of room to climb and various places to curl up and sleep in his new house, but his favorite thing to do so far has been to go in his outdoor area and stare into the other yards,” the zoo said in a news release. “He also enjoys exploring the keeper area of our main building and playing with all his toys.”
Servals are known for their keen hearing and are great jumpers, able to leap five times the length of their body straight up into the air to catch birds.
Teddy is still acclimating to his new home and keepers, but after his quarantine period he will train to get used to new indoor spaces around the zoo.
The Cincinnati Zoo said eventually he will have a role in the Cheetah Encounters just like the other servals.
