Exotic Pet Bans Most exotic pets are illegal in California, and Hawaii has the strictest pet regulations because island ecosystems are the most prone to invasive species (ironically, one of their most prominent invasive species, the domesticated cat, is one of the few pets you can own there).

Maine's exotic pet law prohibits keeping wildlife in captivity, as well as importing, breeding or releasing wildlife into the wild. Exceptions apply for a person holding a valid license (ME ST T. 12 §§ 12151 ? 12161), but there is no license given for possession of an ape or any primate as a pet.

Do I have to license my cat? At this time there are no cat licenses required by state law, but cats are required to have a current rabies vaccination. Even if they are an inside-only cat. All dogs and cats are required to have current rabies shots by a licensed veterinarian.

Neither a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI), also known as a health certificate, nor a rabies vaccination is required to import a cat into California; however, if traveling into California via airplane, please call the airline as they may have additional requirements.

Most airlines also require a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health certificate) issued within 10 days of travel. Federal regulations require pets to be at least 8 weeks old and they should be weaned at least 5 days before flying. Talk to your veterinarian about feeding schedules.
