you can have a baby tiger until it grows to a certain age like 4 -5 years then it will reach its adult age and would have to be taken to the wild cuz then it will be dangerous, but as long as it is young it isnt harmful, ask the place where you'll get it and hell tell you everything you need to know...

I love baby tigers too, but there is a catch. They don't stay babies or even small for very long. Depending on the species, males grow between 400 and 700 lbs, females grow between 264 and 400 lbs. Not exactly a housecat. They reach maturity at between 3 - 5 years.
Then there is the whole thing about them being wild animals. And they will ALWAYS be wild animals. Unpredictable and dangerous. They belong in the wild, living life as nature intended, which can be a cruel one. Nature does NOT play nice.
Your baby tiger would eventually become a danger to you and others and end up euthanized or if lucky at a sanctuary.
Want a baby tiger? Sponsor one at a sanctuary and contribute to conservation programs to ensure there will always be tiger cubs.

Think about a normal house cat and double the size. The scraching on the furnature, play fighting, real fighting, fighting with the naighbor dog, preying instincts (bigger than the bugs, birds, and rodent prey of a house cat), think of the price to spay or neutering, and if you don't think about trying to find a mate and if you do neither think of the frustration that cat will feel leading to aggression. And as for it being a baby it won't stay a baby and if you think you'll then just hand it over to some agencey when it grows up to large for you to keep safe with out haveing become attached to that tiger. Think Again. I wish I could have a tiger too. but they are just too dangerous.

That is a bad Idea.
The main problem with baby tigers is that they become tigers after certain time, and tigers are dangerous animals.

This is the first and only time I'll leave an answer like this:
You're stupid. Please don't get any type of pet ever if you even thought for a SECOND that having a baby tiger was a good idea.

Not if you get it when it's just born. It won't know to be dangerous as wild tigers are because it is being raised by a human.

tigers are not meant to be personal pets. unless you have the land and resources to provide it with a protected area to roam when it's too big and my accidentally on purpose hurt you or others as it would be capable of living in the wild you'll have to turn it over to a zoo or circus or hunt it and many folk who import them to this country do

A baby tiger will eat your cat. When it grows up it will eat you, your horse, your mom and then go look for dinner
