There are no specific cat breeds that are outright banned from entering the USA. However, restrictions can exist based on local laws or import regulations related to animal health and safety.
Savannah Cat: Some states and municipalities in the USA have restrictions or bans on owning Savannah cats, especially those of higher generations (F1-F4) due to their wild ancestry (African Serval).
Bengal Cat: Similar to Savannah cats, some states and cities have regulations on owning Bengal cats, particularly those of early generations (F1-F4), because they are considered closer to their wild ancestors (Asian Leopard Cat).
Chausie: Chausies, which are a hybrid of domestic cats and jungle cats (Felis chaus), may also face restrictions in certain areas due to their wild lineage.
