It is possible to keep a sea otter as a pet in the United States. However, you will need a special license as well as an average of two years of training to learn how to care for wild animals. Often the only place to adopt an otter is through an otter rescue program. However, there are a few breeders who specialize in wild animals.

What if your child wants a pet otter where can you get one and how much money would it be?
Otters are wild animals. They bite. They do not wish to be kept in captivity. They do not like to be touched by people. I realize that it is tempting to think about buying an otter as a pet, but please remember that it is impossible for you to provide the necessary habitat for the otter. They are not meant for captivity. If your child wishes to pet an animal, why don't you go to a petting zoo and enjoy that form of recreation? Also, giving a loving home to a shelter animal (dog or cat) is a much nicer and more rewarding experience than attempting to purchase a wild animal which you would not be able to domesticate.
