Estimated Value: $900
Other Pet Expenses: initial set-up ($25,000), annual costs ($7,500)

While known to kill livestock and prey on large animals relative to their size, bobcats can make excellent pets and are considered the easiest wild feline to start with if you’re interested in caring for high-maintenance exotic animals. Even though they’re aloof and aggressive hunters in the wild, their domesticated counterparts are curious, affectionate, and even accepting of other pets in the family. Though your bobcat can grow twice as big as your house cat, you don’t have to worry about it eating your tabby or your Labrador.

It’s not legal to own a bobcat in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia. Outside these states, you can get a license to own a bobcat for $900. You’ll also need to set aside money for an outdoor enclosure, veterinary expenses, and food. Caring for a young bobcat will cost you at least $100 per week.
