Ready to Adopt?
25,440 MoonCats took the trip from the moon and are now happily living with Ethereans from all over the Earth. If you’d like to adopt one of these cute extraterrestrials, check these sites to browse MoonCats looking for a new home:
Original MoonCats, “wrapped” to make them ERC721-compliant and therefore able to interact with modern NFT marketplaces. Uniswap’s UI is a way to browse several popular NFT marketplaces at once, including OpenSea, LooksRare, and the NFTX pool.
Blur is a marketplace aggregator (its UI shows listings from several popular NFT marketplaces at once, including OpenSea and LooksRare), but also allows listing and bidding on their own site.
Looking specifically for a MoonCat that was part of the early days of the project? This is a pool of MoonCats that were all rescued in the calendar year 2017, that you can adopt for the same rate.
An Interactive Time Capsule
Originally launched in 2017, the Adoption Center still runs today, as a relic of a time before centralized marketplaces. The Adoption Center is experiencing some bitrot, though it still works for the moment. We recommend only adopting MoonCats from the Adoption Center that have an ETH listing; while the Adoption Center permits bids, we recommend you avoid placing or accepting them.
Adopt MoonCats on the original adoption center, created in 2017. MoonCats purchased here aren’t ERC721-compliant (that standard didn’t exist back then!), but they are no less cuddly! MoonCats adopted from this marketplace can visit the Acclimator to make them ERC721-compliant and ready for current and future applications.
A Retired Relic
When the MoonCatRescue project was rediscovered in March 2021, a basic wrapper was whipped up so the original ERC-20 tokens could be listed on marketplaces like Rarible or OpenSea. However, this wrapper has no features and is no longer supported by the original developer (who has Acclimated his own MoonCats). Know that if you buy these MoonCats, you will need to immediately visit the Acclimator to enjoy current and future development by the MoonCatRescue team.
An unofficial wrapped MoonCat marketplace, created just after the Rescue was complete, and doesn’t fully prepare original MoonCats for their new lives on the blockchain. MoonCats adopted from here can be Acclimated to fix that, and allow them to fully participate in the future.
A pool of MoonCats that have all been wrapped with an unofficial wrapping contract and are all up for adoption at the same rate (100 MCAT20 tokens each). If you adopt from here, take a visit over to the Acclimator afterward, to make sure they’re fully ready to play with other MoonCats.
