The Long Island Ocelot Club (LIOC) is an organization that promotes lawful ownership and responsible management of non-domestic felines[1] in the private sector with special emphasis on the smaller species such as ocelot, serval, bobcat, lynx, and caracal.
History[]
The Long Island Ocelot Club was founded in 1956 by Catherine Cisin.[2] In 1979, the organization was incorporated as "LIOC - Endangered Species Conservation Federation." By 2002, the organization changed its name to the present "Feline Conservation Federation". A group of members split off, and re-formed the "Long Island Ocelot Club", a completely separate organization mostly focused on the smaller species.
Communication and Activities[]
The Long Island Ocelot Club publishes a bi-monthly newsletter, hosts a private Yahoo chat list and web site. An annual convention is offered in August and locations are rotated around the country (United States).
