How to Adopt a Cat in Heartopia

By newsgame

Heartopia slowly opens up new hobbies as players progress, starting with simple activities like fishing and later introducing more involved ones. One of those later hobbies that unlocks is Cat Caring, which lets players adopt a cat and look after it.

While bringing a cat into your house sounds simple, the process involves a few steps, and proper care is important if you want to keep your furry companion happy. This guide will help explain everything you need to know about the Cat Caring hobby in Heartopia.

How to Unlock the Cat Caring Hobby & Adopt a Cat in Heartopia

To unlock Cat Caring, you need to reach D.G. level 12. At this level, talk to Mrs. Joan. She will introduce you to the Cat Caring hobby and ask you to confirm it using a Hobby Expansion Ticket.

After unlocking the hobby, you can adopt your first cat. The game gives you a few different options to choose from. When you select a cat, you can see its breed, gender, and personality traits before making your choice.

All Cat Traits in Heartopia (& What They Do)

Cats in Heartopia come with different traits that affect how they behave. Each cat can have up to two traits, so it is a good idea to check them before adopting. Here are all the traits and how they impact your cat’s behavior:

Cat Traits	What They Mean
Clingy	The cat follows you around.
Energetic	The cat loves to play.
Chatterbox	The cat meows a lot.
Quiet	The cat doesn’t make much noise.
Naughty	The cat likes to get into mischief.
Sociable	The cat loves attention and wants to interact a lot.
Unsociable	The cat prefers alone time.
Slow	The cat gets hungry less quickly than other cats.
Sluggish	The cat tends to be lazy.
Indifferent	The cat doesn’t care much either way.
Sensitive	The cat is picky about food.

The game doesn’t clearly explain cat traits, so these descriptions are not officially confirmed. This is just how we’ve noticed they seem to work.

Before bringing your cat home, you also need to pay for a quick physical exam, which costs 500 Gold. After that, you can name your cat, take it home, and feed it. Once you adopt a cat, you cannot return it.

How to Increase Your Bond With a Cat in Heartopia

When it comes to daily care, feeding your cat is the priority. If your cat is hungry, you won’t be able to play with it or interact much at all. You can buy cat food from Mrs. Joan, and in our experience, cats can also be fed fish.

Besides feeding, there are a few other ways to spend time with your cat. You can pet it, play with it, clean it when it gets dirty, or take it outside. Doing these things raises your bond level, and sometimes your cat might even bring you small gifts. Early on, petting is the only interaction available. Keep doing it, and more activities will unlock over time.

As you spend more time with your cat, it will grow and unlock new poses. You can check all of these by opening your smart watch and heading to the Pets tab. This page shows your cat’s full profile, including its hunger, energy, traits, and mood history. You can also rename your cat from here if you want.

As you earn more Cat Caring proficiency points, you will unlock extra perks for the hobby. These include new accessories, the ability to adopt more cats, and even an auto feeder for your cats.
