Important Notice
Every effort has been made to ensure that this information is accurate, and appropriate contact information has been included for each state.

The LIOC-Endangered Species Conservation Federation strongly urges you contact the various state agencies personally, to verify that no new laws have been passed, before you proceed with any transactions. We cannot be held responsible should you fail to follow state laws. This is only a brief summary, offered as a service to our members. In many cases, the actual laws are quite long and involved.

Also, many counties and cities have enacted regulations, which means that even if the state law allows for the possession of wild felines, the county or city might have passed ordinances against such activities. Therefore you have to check with each agency before you proceed with ownership or sales.
