Adoption Center

Adopt a fresh egg every 12 hours from a shelf that restocks hourly, or give a rehomed pet from another player a new family.

Updated Jul 12, 2026 15 views

The Adoption Center is where new pets join your family. Kara the adoption coordinator runs the place, and there are two ways to adopt: pick a fresh egg from the rotating shelves, or take in a pet another player is rehoming.

Where to find it

  • Direct link: /adoption/
  • Menu path: Pets → Adoption

Adopting an egg

Current live settings:

  • The shelves hold 9 eggs, and the full set is replaced at the top of every hour. The page shows a live countdown to the next batch.
  • Each egg slot rolls 80% common, 15% rare, 5% epic.
  • Adopting an egg requires a nest, which is consumed. Nests cost 100 MPC at the Nesting Nook.
  • You can adopt one egg every 12 hours.
  • The standard pet limit is 3 pets. Items with the Expand Pet Slots effect (like the Pet Permit, 2,550 MPC) permanently raise your limit by one pet per use.

When you adopt, you name the pet: 3-16 characters, lowercase letters and numbers only, and it must be unique across all of MiroPets. The name is permanent unless you pay 2,500 MPC later to rename. The egg hatches into a baby 15 minutes after adoption and arrives with full hunger, happiness, and health.

  • A Mystery Egg has a 5% chance to appear with each hourly restock. You will not know the species until it hatches: 50% rare, 45% epic, 5% legendary. It is the only way an adoption-shelf egg can hatch a legendary.
  • When a new color theme launches, one egg from the featured theme is guaranteed on the shelves every hour for the length of the event.

Golden Adoption Pass

The Golden Adoption Pass (epic, 4,000 MPC, rotates through the EPIC Only and Ticket Counter shops) resets your 12-hour adoption cooldown so you can adopt a second egg the same day. You can use one pass per day.

Rehomed pets

Below the eggs, other players list pets they are rehoming. These adoptions work differently:

  • No nest needed, and they do not touch your 12-hour egg cooldown - you only need a free pet slot.
  • The seller sets the price (some are free); the MPC goes straight to them.
  • The pet keeps its name, stage, stats, and progress.
  • Listings last 24 hours. If the pet belongs to a den, den membership (and leadership, marked with a badge) transfers to you.

You can rehome your own pets too: open any non-egg pet's page, list it with your price, and the listing runs for 24 hours in the Adoption Center.

Good habits

  • Check back on the hour - the entire shelf changes, so an epic or Mystery Egg you missed is never more than 60 minutes from being replaced by something new.
  • Keep a spare nest in your backpack so a great egg never slips away while you shop.
  • Browse the rehomed section even when your cooldown is running; those adoptions are always available.
  • Verify the name in the availability checker before confirming - it is yours for good.
