Sand Cats are not on the Endangered Species List but there are conservation efforts taking place. The species is considered Near Threatened overall but this status varies in certain countries.

Hunting them is illegal in Algeria, Iran, Israel, Kazakhstan, Mauritania, Niger, Pakistan and Tunisia. However, Egypt, Mali, Morocco, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates do not have any protections in place.

Israel is working to release Sand Cats back into the wild, as they are considered Threatened in that country.

Some problems Sand Cats face are habitat loss and capture driven by illegal exotic pet trade.
