I was wondering what the laws are involving the exotic animal called a ring-tailed cat. Also how much do they cost? What states can you have them as pets legally?

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

When a Mod sees this, it will be deleted. It does not belong on the BOI. This needs to be in the Mammel discusion forum. Or in one of the other discussion forums.

It depends on what state you're in... And since you're in Washington... I'm actually not quite sure- they recently went through a mass ban on multiple exotic animals, but I don't believe the ring-tailed cat was specifically included. So, they may actually be allowed there and got past the ban. I would not %100 count on that though, it's just an assumption through what I read about it.
It depends on where you get it for the price as well; it can vary a lot. But since I haven't seen any breeders in a while, I can't give you an average. ...I've seen them go around $1,500, I think that's probably what you could expect for one.
And there are multiple states you can have them, and multiple that they are probably banned in, but I don't think I would do great at making a list; it's better to determine from what state you're in/planning to be in...
But, I do believe ring-tailed cats are one of the less-regulated exotics, so you'll probably get "lucky" with them.
Sorry I don't know much about them, I always viewed them as something I couldn't really get, but, I suppose they are more attainable than I had presumed, but, there isn't a plethora of breeders so it will still prove difficult if you're truly interested.
