Adopt-imals Cats

Every kitten needs a home. Now kids get to bring six of their own home--building each one, naming them, and making every adoption official with a personalized certificate. Adoptimals Cats is where hands-on paper-craft building meets the best feeling in the world--having a fur-ever friend.

As kids assemble each 3D cat in this hands-on craft kit and complete its official adoption certificate, they step into the role of caregiver--choosing names, imagining personalities, and deciding what each pet needs to feel at home. Six dogs. Six stories. Unlimited imaginative play. And a universe of adoptable pets, just waiting to be discovered.

• BUILDING EACH CAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING. The fold-and-assemble craft activity delivers a satisfying finished pet--then opens straight into hours of storytelling, caregiving, puzzles, and imaginative play.
• THE CERTIFICATE MAKES IT REAL. When kids fill it out and make the adoption official, something clicks--this is their cat now, and they're responsible for it.
• SIX CATS MEANS SIX DISTINCT PERSONALITIES--AND A PACK WITH ITS OWN DYNAMICS. Every build adds a new character to the story, new buildable toys to imagine with, and a new reason to keep playing.
• THE LITTER DOESN'T HAVE TO STOP HERE. Adoptimals is a growing series--and once kids have 6 cats, the only thing they'll want is more.

Somewhere between the first build and the sixth certificate, kids stop crafting and start caring. That's always been the Highlights difference--and Adoptimals is the newest place to find it.
