Jailed “Tiger King” star Joe Exotic claims he has prostate cancer and is on the prowl for parole.

Joe, born Joseph Allen Schreibvogel, tweeted Friday that his PSA counts are high and wants President Biden, Vice President Harris and the attorney general to spring him — stat.

The star of the Netflix docuseries “Tiger King” is currently serving a 22-year sentence for violating wildlife laws and a 2017 murder-for-hire plot to kill his longtime enemy Carole Baskin.

“John Phillips [Exotic’s lawyer] has received my medical records from FMC Fort Worth and my PSA count came back very high for prostate cancer,” he wrote.

“The prison has approved testing to verify what stage it is in. My body is tired, I have lost a tremendous amount of weight, the mouth sores are out of control, I throw up more than I eat.”

Phillips told The Post Saturday afternoon that Joe has not been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is still awaiting a biopsy.

Phillips said it is premature to say he has prostate cancer even if his doctors are saying he has all the signs.

Joe tweeted Saturday that he has a May 27 appointment with an oncologist and one a few days later with a urologist. “Now they report a biopsy will also be scheduled on a tumor on my right side below my ribs. Also scheduling a colonoscopy and endoscopy to find everything.

“I don’t want anyone’s pity,” Joe said in another tweet. “What I need is when John Phillips gets the evidence he is working on, I need the world to help him get President Biden, VP Harris and the Attorney General to listen to the evidence and see that it’s not just city cops out of control with corruption, but his very own Department of Justice and make this right and sign that pardon that Trump left behind so I can go home and get proper medical care and proper food.”
