Their argument is that Bobcats are indigenous to the state, but yours is genetically different than those found in the Southeast.

I know it's all about rules and regulations which are set up to support generalizations, but in some cases such as this one the regulations don't make any sense. The right and sane thing here is obvious.

He is bonded with his owner. Further, bobcats and other "small" wild felines make wonderful companions. When proper permits and applied for and obtained, private ownership should not be questioned! I, myself, own a 50 lb. Siberian Lynx. She is devoted to me - and I to her. I can't imagine the heartbreak for both of us should "someone" decide she should live out her life in a zoo! Shame on you!
