What are the legal requirements needed for owning an ocelot?

Best Answers

Inactive ocelots get sluggish and overweight, so having enough room to run is essential. One or two ocelots can live happily in an 800 square foot enclosure, provided there is plenty of enrichment. A cat that also has the run of his people's house may need less outdoor space. read more

Summary of Law: A person may not keep a lion, tiger, leopard, ocelot, jaguar, cheetah, margay, mountain lion, Canada lynx, bobcat, jaguarundi, hyena, wolf, coyote, or any deadly dangerous, or poisonous reptile unless such person has registered the animal with the local law enforcement agency in the county in which the animal is kept. read more
