I'm not sure about the local authority allowing you to safe keep it but you can try hand it over to Zoo Negara. They might help you on solving the problem.

Don't bother giving it to Zoo Negara. They will kill it. Im telling u from experience in this trade that any animal that goes there usually ends up dying coz the people there don't really know how to take care of babies.

If it's not weaned yet, you need to bottle feed it with a special milk formula for baby cats available from certain petshops. it's pretty expensive but if u want to know i'll tell u where to get it.

It is illegal to keep any local species of mammal including civet cats in Malaysia. However, many people keep them quietly.

we used to get all sorts of animals from leopard cats to slow lorises from time to time. But for the record, i no longer deal with wild caught mammals coz it's really cruel as the orang asli usually steal them from the mothers.
Some of the animals that's been at my doorsteps before.
Slow loris

boigamaniac, may i know where do you live? Cos from the post, you sounds like pretty easy to get those animals, or is it have anything to do with your job?

Nah getting animals like these has nothing to do with where I live. But i no longer deal with wild-caught mammals so no point asking.

Although I can't totally disagree with what you said, but I also can't totally agree what you said too. Though they might end up being killed due to lack of skill or whatsoever. I still believe there is some animal enthusiastic person around in the Zoo. Though I don't hope much from Malaysian Zoo Keeper... but I still believe there is someone around. So please be more optimistic rather than judged them base on your past experience.

Actually I know the zoo negara people because I've been supplying them animals. It is not a matter of judgement - reserve ur words carefully -i've dealt with them over time and i know them inside out. If u think u believe there is someone enthusiastic enough... well all i can say is u havent been to the real world of zoo-keeping in Malaysia. Don't believe me? have u actually send any animals there before? Do u know anything about what they do there? Well i think not.

dont worry... there's a forest infront of my dad's home... and there's plenty of fruits tree at my home also.

Don't worry it is not that hard to raise them. It's much safer in your hands than with the zoos. If u have no confidence, then let me know i will guide u.

*sigh* I dont want to argue with u, or anyone else. Obviously u seem to have some kind of hidden agenda between ur words. Which is why ur reputation precedes u. It would be redundant to reason with u.
Little misfit, if you wish to heed what they say about the zoo, please send the babies to zoo negara and let us all know what happens in a few months.
Regards
