Adopt
MoonCat Type
25,440 MoonCats took the trip from the moon and are now happily living with Ethereans from all over the Earth. What sort of cute extraterrestrial are you looking to adopt?
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.
NFT Marketplaces
Acclimated MoonCats are an ERC721 token, so appear on other NFT marketplaces as general tokens. You won’t find as much detail about the lore and specifics of MoonCats on these sites, but they do offer unique bidding/auction styles and higher-valued MoonCat offerings.
Do note, because these marketplaces only count Acclimated MoonCats, all the metrics about the collection (how many tokens exist, and all “rarity” scores) are not accurate, because they’re only counting part of the collection. And if they list a “mint” or “burn” date, those are dates the MoonCat was Acclimated or de-Acclimated (not the date when they first were rescued onto the blockchain)

A pool of MoonCats that are all offered at the same price. Adopting multiple MoonCats is possible, or also picking randomly from the pool for a reduced cost. This pool is using the v3 NFTX platform, which has more advanced options for providing liquidity and gaining rewards for the community trading on this platform.

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.
