The only thing that determines whether it can have a moon or not is the laws of gravity, and gravity doesn’t pay attention to whether we call it a “planet” or not.

Asteroids can have moons too. Ida and Dactyl, for example. A moon doesn’t necessarily have to orbit a planet.

It's a dwarf planet, according to the new terminology, along with former planet Pluto.
Pluto has five known moons. The dwarf planet Eris (the largest of the group) has one, and Haumea has two.
