L.I.O.C. E.S.C.F. membership includes both cat owners and non-owner supporters of exotic cats. Our newsletter is a central information source which provides bi-monthly information on member experiences, recent husbandry research and cat status in the wild. Many L.I.O.C. members have been recognized by zoos and veterinary colleges for their contributions to wild cat breeding knowledge. L.I.O.C. stands ready to assist you. We look forward to seeing your name on our membership roster soon.
All positions are volunteer and no salaries are paid.
The major portion of the annual dues is used for production of the Newsletter. Grants are made to support research concerning wild felines. The national organization encourages and supports local branches to promote interaction between exotic owners. An annual membership meeting is held, usually during August. The location rotates around the United States to permit as many members as possible to attend.
