While effort is made to keep the information listed here about the existence of laws and ordinances updated, NebraskaServal is not responsible if the information here is incorrect. It is YOUR responsibility to check and be aware of all the laws and regulations governing you and the animal(s) you own at all levels of government--before you bring them home. And remember: even if local laws appear to allow the keeping of an exotic cat, Nebraska State law currently still prohibits it.
