Yes. Otters are quite well at living in captivity if you take care of them.

Like feeding them fish or shellfish (make sure they eat 15% of their body weight if it's an Eurasian otter, 2O-25% if they are sea otters. Having them a place to swim (they prefer to swim in cold water; 10°C, which is 50°F)

Otters are playful and very active; so make sure you give it LOTS of swimming room filled with toys and spend a lot of time with it.
