Exotic pets heavily restricted in Livermore. CDFW Title 14 §671 bans most wild animals statewide. No permits for big cats, primates, venomous reptiles.
California Department of Fish and Wildlife Title 14 §671 maintains a restricted species list that bans private ownership of most non-domesticated animals: big cats, bears, primates, wolves, venomous reptiles, alligators, most non-native birds and reptiles.

Common exotic pets that ARE legal: ferrets are actually banned in California, but hedgehogs, sugar gliders, chinchillas, and most parrots are permitted. Livestock on urban lots restricted by zoning.
