About the Game

Run a Cat Adoption Center

Pet your cats to prepare them for adoption. Once they're ready, collect their adoption fees and send them off to their forever homes.

Decorate

Expand your catio to fit more cats, unlock over 100 items, and build elaborate cat trees!

Upgrade Your Petting

Automate and improve your petting with a variety of upgrades.

Cat-a-log Your Visitors

Collect all 300+ cat variants, and unlock other achievements!

Active or Idle

Complete the core content in 3 to 5 hours of active gameplay (plus another few hours for achievement completionists), or play as a passive idler to make more gradual progress.
