The Kitty Bat is a limited pet you can only get during Halloween events
The Kitty Bat in Adopt Me is a bat-cat hybrid pet that Roblox makes available only during the Halloween season, usually in October. You cannot buy it with regular in-game currency at any other time of year. If you missed it during a past Halloween event, you can only get one now by trading with another player who already owns one.
The pet itself is not rare enough to trade for easily — many players have one from previous Halloweens. But if you want it and Halloween is coming, you need to know exactly when the event starts and what you need to do before it ends.
Key Takeaways
- Kitty Bat only appears in the Adopt Me shop during October Halloween events, and disappears when the event ends.
- You buy it with Robux (the premium currency you pay real money for), not with Bucks (the free in-game currency).
- If you missed the event, your only option is to trade for one with another player, which usually costs more Robux worth of items than buying it would have.
- The pet has no special abilities or stats that make it better than other pets — it is purely cosmetic.
When the Halloween event runs and how to buy it
Adopt Me typically starts its Halloween event in early October and runs through the end of the month. The exact dates change year to year, so check the Adopt Me news feed in-game or the official Adopt Me social media accounts a few days before October 1st to confirm when it begins.
Once the event is live, open Adopt Me and go to the Shop. Look for the Halloween section — it will be a separate tab or category during the event. The Kitty Bat will be listed there with a Robux price, usually between 150 and 250 Robux depending on the year. Click it, confirm the purchase, and the pet goes into your inventory when ready.
The event ends on October 31st or shortly after. Once it closes, the Kitty Bat disappears from the shop and will not return until the next Halloween season.
What Robux costs and where to buy it
Robux is Roblox's premium currency that you buy with real money. You cannot earn it by playing — you can only get it by spending. A small amount of Robux costs a few dollars; the exact price depends on your country and which payment method you use.
To buy Robux, go to the Roblox website or open the Roblox app, find the Robux section, and choose how much you want to buy. You can use a credit card, debit card, gift card, or other payment methods depending on where you live. Roblox will charge your payment method when ready.
If you do not want to spend money, you cannot get the Kitty Bat during the event. Your only free option is to wait and trade for one later, which will cost you items worth more than the original Robux price.
Trading for a Kitty Bat if you missed the event
If Halloween has passed and you did not buy the Kitty Bat, you can still get one by trading with another player. Open Adopt Me, go to the Trading section, and search for players offering a Kitty Bat. You can also post your own trade request and wait for offers.
The trade value of a Kitty Bat is higher than its original shop price because it is no longer available. Players who own one know it will not come back until next October, so they ask for more in return. You will typically need to offer several other pets or items to make the trade fair.
The exact value changes based on what other pets are available and how many players want a Kitty Bat at that moment. Check recent trades in the community to see what other players have offered and accepted before you make your proposal.
Why the Kitty Bat has no special function
The Kitty Bat does not fly, does not have a special ability, and does not give you any gameplay advantage. It is purely a cosmetic pet — you keep it in your inventory and it sits with your other pets. Some players want it only because it is seasonal and harder to get after the event ends.
If you are looking for a pet that actually does something, focus on pets with abilities like flying or swimming instead. The Kitty Bat is worth getting only if you like how it looks or want to collect seasonal pets.
How to prepare before the Halloween event starts
If you know Halloween is coming and you want the Kitty Bat, save your Robux now. Do not spend it on other pets or items. Check the Adopt Me news feed in late September to see if the developers have announced the exact event start date.
If you plan to trade for one instead of buying it, start gathering pets and items now that other players might want. Focus on pets that are currently available or that you can breed, because those are easier to trade away than limited seasonal pets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a Kitty Bat if I do not have Robux?
Not during the event — you must buy Robux with real money to purchase it from the shop. After the event ends, you can trade for one using other pets and items, but this usually costs more value than the original Robux price would have.
Will the Kitty Bat come back next Halloween?
Yes, Adopt Me brings back most seasonal pets during their holiday events each year. The Kitty Bat should return in October of the following year, though the exact date and price may change.
Is the Kitty Bat worth trading for after Halloween?
That depends on whether you like it. It has no special abilities, so it is only worth getting if you want it for your collection or because you like how it looks. Do not trade valuable pets for it unless you are sure you want it.
What if I buy Robux but the event ends before I use it?
Your Robux stays in your account forever. You can use it next year during the next Halloween event, or spend it on other items in Adopt Me or other Roblox games anytime.
