How to get pets in Inzoi

It’s clear that for a game with a cat as its mascot, pets are an essential feature. And since Inzoi is a life simulation game, it’s understandable that you’d want your Zois to add pets to their growing family. But how can you get pets yourself?

Since Inzoi is still in Early Access, there are some caveats when it comes to having animals in your game that you should know about. Once your Zois get married and possibly have a baby, wouldn’t a nice addition to the family be a pet? Here’s everything you need to know about having animal pets in Inzoi.

Are there pets in Inzoi?

Unfortunately, during Inzoi’s Early Access launch period, pets are not available to adopt. Despite the game having a few different furniture items for pets, like food bowls and cat trees, the developers are still working on the pets feature.

In a recent livestream, Inzoi Studio shared a roadmap for some of its upcoming Early Access updates, and up until December 2026, pets were not listed as features. This doesn’t mean that they might surprise us with a pets update in the near future. But for now, I wouldn’t think about it too much until concrete proof of a pets update comes to light.

The developer’s roadmap plans are subject to change based on player feedback, so if enough players ask for pets, they may release them sooner than later. Otherwise, it’s fair to assume that by the time Inzoi leaves Early Access, pets will be available.

How to add animals in cities

Although you cannot have your own pets, you can still populate your Inzoi city with animals! At the start of a new game, you won’t have any animals roaming around, but you can change that yourself by going to your map and selecting the City Decoration tab. From there, select the Animals option, and you can control the animal density of up to three different types of animals.

Currently, you can only spawn cats, dogs, pandas, deer, racoons, squirrels, foxes, and alligators. From then on, you’ll start seeing those animals roaming around the city, but unfortunately, you won’t be able to interact with them. Perhaps that will also change in a future update, but I honestly wouldn’t want to get face-to-face with an alligator.

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.
