Only bona fide zoos, circuses and research facilities may
possess cougars in Louisiana. Bobcats require a non-game quadruped exhibitor or
breeder license. The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries does not regulate exotic cats.

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.
