There are 66 Cats in Neko Atsumi, divided into two categories- Regular and Rare. Regular Cats are attracted to random Goodies and Food and can appear in your garden anytime.
However, attracting the Rare Cats is a challenge.
You must put out specific Goodies and Food items to attract the fluffier, cuter, and rarer felines. To help players do that, we’ve put together this detailed guide about all Neko Atsume rare cats.
The guide lists every rare cat’s favorite food to eat and items to play with. It also gives an overview of their personalities. So, if you want to fill up your album pages with the Rare Cats of Neko Atsume, this guide is a must-read.
Let’s get started!
All Rare Cats in Neko Atsume & How To Get Them?
The global version of Neko Atsume has 22 Rare Cats. Another Rare Cat recently entered Neko Atsume on the Apple Arcade version. We’ll talk about that furry friend, too.
However, we’ve left out one Rare Cat that’s available in the Japanese version of the Neko Atsume. The name of that Rare Cat is Kitty Hawks, and it was added to the game in 2015.
Now, let’s jump back to the Rare Cats that are available globally.
Here’s how to get them all.
1. Joe DiMeowgio
Joe DiMeowgio is inspired by the famous New York Yankee, Joe DiMaggio. He is a Team Player with a power level of 28. As evident from his appearance, Joe is a baseball fan. That’s why his Memento is a Signed Baseball Bat.
Put out the following items to attract Joe DiMeowgio:

3. Xerxes IX
The name is a clever play on the “cats have nine lives” proverb. Maybe Xerxes is in his last life, which explains why he doesn’t make too many appearances. However, this royal cat can break the Persian protocols if you put out the following items.

17. Frosty
Frosty is the most common Rare Cat in Neko Atsume.
After going through the table below, you might even question the rarity classification of this guy. But it is what it is. Here is the long list of Goodies that can attract Frosty even on non-snowy days.
| Favorite Goodies | Favorite Food |

18. Sapphire and Jeeves
These two are the IT couple of Neko Atsume, and they’ll only appear together. Both Sapphire and Jeeves like the same items and foods. That’s why I’ve put them together.
Here’s how to get this power couple to visit you:
| Favorite Goodies | Favorite Food |
| Fairy-Tale Parasol, Tower of Treats | Frisky Bitz Ritzy Bitz Bonito Bitz Deluxe Tuna Bitz Sashimi Sashimi Boat |

19. Bengal Jack
Bengal Jack is a Reckless wannabe pirate who wears a hat and wields a sword. As any pirate, he also chases treasure.
He’ll visit you if you place some treasure boxes in the garden.
| Favorite Goodies | Favorite Food |

His Power Level is quite low – 66 – for someone playing a pirate, but he does have a fitting Memento, an Old Map.
20. Whiteshadow
Whiteshadow is an Elusive ninja who can’t be bought. There are not enough Goodies or Foods to attract this guy. He’ll appear randomly out of thin air and vanish with equal suddenness.
There are a lot of theories going around in the Neko Atsume community about what works to attract Whiteshadow, but nothing is proven.
So, put out all the Food items randomly and hope he visits.
| Favorite Goodies | Favorite Food |
| —- | Frisky Bitz Ritzy Bitz Bonito Bitz Deluxe Tuna Bitz Sashimi Sashimi Boat |
You’ll find a Paper Shuriken lying around when Whiteshadow comes to visit.
21. Hermeowne
This might just be the worst butchering of Hermoine Granger’s name I’ve ever seen. But the cat is cute, so I’ll let it slide.
Hermeowne is a Gentle cat who wears a witch’s costume and is attracted to the following items:
