In America, it is generally not legal to purchase a tiger for private ownership, and there are very few permits allowed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for people who want to obtain a tiger for a zoo or animal sanctuary.

How do you buy a tiger in America?
user
In the United States, it is illegal to buy and sell tigers as pets. You can not purchase a tiger from a breeder or animal market. The only way to legally own a tiger in the US is if you have a special permit from the US Fish and Wildlife Service allowing you to keep the animal as an exotic pet. Even with the permit, all transactions involving commercial wildlife must be approved by each State’s wildlife agency and Department of Agriculture before they are legal. It is also important to consider that, even with a legal purchase, keeping any species of protected wildlife as a pet often comes with many restrictions on what type of housing, nutrition, socialization access and handling methods can be used.
