Is it possible to get a Red Panda as a pet in Ohio or New Zealand?
Also any tips on taking care of them?
I've been doing research but I'm having difficulty finding some of the info to make sure it's possible to own one in one of those two places.
Edit: They're a vulnerable species. So I'd like to increase their population even if my impact is tiny.
Help is always appreciated Flood.

Like you already know, they're endangered, but I don't think that should be a disqualifier for you not to have one if you take care of it. Hell, get 2 and breed them. Look at the chinchilla. They're nonexistent in the wild, but no where near extinct because of, and this is going to sound weird, the fur trade. If chinchillas weren't bred for fur and then later sold as pets, they would have been extinct decades ago.
