It would have to be very large. Lions and tigers need lots of space to roam and exercise. If you're someone who just wants one for a pet, you may want to reconsider. It won't be like raising a really big cat. They require different care and a different diet. (You couldn't just feed them a lot of cat food).
In addition to having a large secured area, the person must be licensed and all animals must be registered and under the care of a veterinarian who specializes in wild animals.
Also, only persons trained in the care of wild animals can obtain a license and they must be 100% insured and are subject to inspections without notice by the state's wildlife agency.

The size of the enclosure for lions or tigers will depend on various factors such as the species, number of animals, and individual needs. Generally, a large area with sufficient space for roaming, vegetation for cover, and enrichment activities is essential. For example, for a tiger, experts suggest an enclosure size of at least 5 acres, but larger is always better for these wide-ranging carnivores.

If the law against poaching is enforced properly then the amount of lions around could increase. But where there's lions, there's poachers and there will probably always be someone who wants a fur coat (heck knows why...) so lions can never be truly saved and safe but if everyone campaigns enough and donates money to projects like adopting a lion then maybe everyone can keep them around for a little longer.
