00:00This is a wildcat from Africa, but is it legal to take care of it?

00:14Brother Kim, what do you think?

00:21The veterinarian's cat, Doc Edmar, is being tested online.

00:24His 4-baby, Seiko, looks different from the cat we're used to.

00:29It has a small head, big ears, and a golden yellow coat.

00:34Seiko is a wildcat.

00:36So, meow?

00:38The cat I'm taking care of is an African Serval cat.

00:41It's not a domesticated cat.

00:44They're found in Africa.

00:46The breeders are from Russia and Ukraine.

00:50It's like a cat that's taking care of a big dog.

00:53Their behavior is like a dog, but they're a bit naughty.

00:58They have a mannerism that really likes to bark.

01:02Like, they'll climb on your back, then they'll hit you.

01:06Or even if you're lying down, they'll just scratch you.

01:09If you're taking care of a cat, it's a matter of fact that you'll get scratches.

01:14Even so, they're said to be very loyal.

01:16They're a one-man pet.

01:19So, it means that whoever is taking care of them, they're the only ones who can carry them.

01:24But is it legal to take care of a wildcat here in the Philippines?

01:30Servals, or Leptilurus Serval, are medium-sized wildcats.

01:34Because of their long whiskers and necks, they're called Giraffe Cats.

01:38They're good hunters.

01:40And unlike domesticated cats that are afraid of water,

01:43Servals are good at swimming.

01:45They're native to Africa.

01:47And they're usually found in wetlands, moorlands, or bamboo thickets.

01:52But if they're native to Africa,

01:54is it legal for Doc Edmar to take care of a Serval Cat in the Philippines?

01:57If you have papers, it's legal.

01:59That's why before taking care of Seiko,

02:01he made sure that his document is complete.

02:04You need to get a site test from the origin country where you're going to buy it.

02:09Then, you'll get a site test here in the Philippines.

02:12Then, when it's approved,

02:14we'll send it to the DNR.

02:16Then, when it's approved,

02:19you can send it here to the Philippines.

02:22This is Kuya Kim reminding us that

02:24whether or not our pets have a breed,

02:27our love and care deserves it.
