The Kitty Bat is only available during Adopt Me's Halloween event
The Kitty Bat is a limited pet in Adopt Me that appears only during the annual Halloween event, typically in October. You cannot find it in the regular pet shop or through standard gameplay outside of that window. When the event runs, you can get one by trading Candy (the Halloween currency) to the Candy Trader NPC, or by trading with other players who already own one.
If you missed the event in previous years, your only path now is player-to-player trading. The Kitty Bat's value shifts based on demand and what other players are willing to trade for it, so prices vary. During the active Halloween event, the direct route through Candy is usually cheaper than waiting to trade later.
Key Takeaways
- The Kitty Bat only appears during Adopt Me's Halloween event, which runs in October each year.
- During the event, you can trade Candy directly to the Candy Trader NPC to get a Kitty Bat without needing another player.
- If you missed the event, you must trade with other players, and the cost in pets or items will be higher than the Candy price during the event.
- Candy is earned by trick-or-treating at houses in the Halloween map during the event period.
How to earn Candy during the Halloween event
When the Halloween event is active, you earn Candy by trick-or-treating at player-owned houses. Walk up to any house in the game world, click on it, and you'll receive Candy as a reward. You can repeat this process multiple times, though there's usually a cooldown between trick-or-treats at the same house.
The amount of Candy you get per trick-or-treat varies, but you'll accumulate it steadily if you visit different houses. Some players leave their houses open specifically for trick-or-treating during the event to help others farm Candy faster. The more houses you visit, the quicker you'll gather enough Candy for a Kitty Bat.
Trading Candy to the Candy Trader NPC
The Candy Trader NPC appears in the Halloween map during the event. Locate them and open their trade menu to see what pets and items are available for Candy. The Kitty Bat will be listed with its Candy cost clearly shown.
Click on the Kitty Bat, confirm you have enough Candy, and complete the trade. The pet goes directly into your inventory. This is the most straightforward way to get one during the event, since you're trading with an NPC rather than negotiating with another player.
Trading with other players for a Kitty Bat
If you're outside the Halloween event window or want to get a Kitty Bat without farming Candy, you'll need to trade with another player who owns one. Use the in-game trade system by clicking on a player and selecting "Trade." You'll need to offer pets or items of similar value to what they're asking for.
The value of a Kitty Bat fluctuates based on how recently the event ended and how many players have one. Immediately after the event closes, prices tend to be lower. As time passes and fewer players have access to new ones, the asking price usually rises. Check what other players are trading them for before making an offer.
What pets or items to offer in trades
Since the Kitty Bat is a limited Halloween pet, players typically want other limited or rare pets in exchange. Pets from past events, legendaries, or high-demand current pets are usually acceptable. Some players will also accept multiple common or uncommon pets if their combined value is high enough.
Before you trade, use community resources like the Adopt Me trading tier lists or Discord servers to understand what the Kitty Bat is worth relative to what you're offering. Overestimating or underestimating the value can result in a rejected trade or a bad deal on your end.
When the next Halloween event will happen
Adopt Me runs its Halloween event annually, and it typically begins in early to mid-October and runs through the end of the month. The exact dates shift slightly from year to year, but October is consistently when the event is active. If you're reading this outside of October, you'll need to wait until next year's event or trade with other players.
The game usually announces the event start date in advance through in-game notifications and the official Adopt Me social media accounts. Checking those channels a week or two before October gives you a heads-up on when to start farming Candy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a Kitty Bat outside of the Halloween event?
No, the Kitty Bat is only available during the Halloween event. Outside that window, your only option is to trade with another player who already owns one. The pet does not appear in the regular shop or through any other in-game method.
How much Candy does a Kitty Bat cost from the Candy Trader?
The exact Candy cost varies depending on the year and the event's specific pricing. Check the Candy Trader's menu during the active event to see the current cost. It's typically in the mid-range for Halloween pets, not the cheapest but not the most expensive either.
What if I don't have enough Candy before the event ends?
If the event closes before you gather enough Candy, you cannot earn more Candy until next year's Halloween event. Your only path to a Kitty Bat at that point is trading with another player. Plan your trick-or-treating route in advance to maximize Candy collection.
Is the Kitty Bat worth trading for if I missed the event?
That depends on your collection goals. The Kitty Bat is a limited pet, so it holds value and appeal to collectors. However, the trading cost outside the event is higher than the Candy cost during it. If you want it for your collection, it's worth pursuing; if you're only interested in the best value, waiting for the next event is cheaper.
