Anime is always known for its tough main characters to the sexiest/cutest female lineups. But the ones who never fail to bring smiles to our faces are adorable anime pets. So, if you are looking for some adorable pets featured in anime or want to scroll to see if your favorite anime pet made it to the list, get comfy, grab something hot to drink, and binge on the post. Because trust me, this is going to be fun.

10. Chi – Chi’s Sweet Home: Atarashii Ouchi (Chi’s New Address)

Cats are always a priority for any pet lover, and Chi is one cat anyone would dream of having. She’s an adorable fluffy ball full of curiosity and mischief. Chi is not only cute but also smart—she knows how to save herself from predators by pretending to be a ball of yarn.

Chi is also a perfect comforter, as she loves to cuddle and snuggle, as shown in the anime. She never hides her affection for the Yamada family. I’d love to have a cat like Chi in real life! I bet you’d feel the same way if you gave the show a chance. She is kawaii.

9. Tippy – Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? (Is the Order a Rabbit?)

Tippy is an Angora rabbit who loves to sit on your head. He looks like a soft cushion you’ll crave to squeeze—but he holds more secrets than any other anime pet mentioned in this article. Don’t worry, though. He won’t bite or turn into a monster like those gremlins.

Beyond his adorable looks, Tippy helps his owner run a rabbit café, attracting more customers. I mean, who wouldn’t want to visit a café with rabbits to keep you company while you enjoy your hot drinks? I know I’d love Tippy’s company!

8. Taroumaru – Gakkougurashi! (School-Live!)

Taroumaru is one of the best pets you’ll find in any show. Why am I saying this? Well, it’s because School-Live! is not your ordinary silly little slice-of-life anime. It deals with horror, depression, and phobias—but still, it’ll make you smile.

Back to our adorable fluffy dog Taroumaru—he’s the one who saves our heroes. How? Well, you’ll have to watch the show to find out. No spoilers here!

7. Totoro – My Neighbor Totoro

Totoro doesn’t need an introduction. He’s a beloved Ghibli mascot that everyone knows. No one can resist the urge to pick up this huge, rabbit-like pet. Even though his body is massive, his eyes are full of emotion.

Let’s not forget how much fur he has—making him not only adorable but super cuddly! And don’t worry, he’s friendly. Even if you sleep on his tummy, he won’t get bothered and will let you pamper him. Who wouldn’t want a pet like him in real life?

6. Kuro – Servamp

Let me ask you something: do you like cats? (Who doesn’t, right?) How about vampires—do you like them too? If you said yes to both, then you’re in luck! Meet Kuro: a character who can be both your fluffy, adorable cat and your vampire bodyguard.

The catch? You’ll need to give him your blood to form a bond. If that sounds worth it to you, Kuro might just be the best pet you could have in real life. Don’t worry, he won’t hurt you—trust me.

5. Panda – Shirokuma Café

Do you love pandas? Want one that can talk to you? Then this pet is just for you. Panda is the cutest thing in the show—not just him, but all the animals portrayed are super lovable.

Shirokuma Café is a wholesome watch. If you’re looking for an anime that embraces you like a gentle hug, this one is for you!

4. Pochita – Chainsaw Man

Pochita is a wonderful little devil who had the shortest life span in the Chainsaw Man series. He sacrificed himself to save his owner/friend Denji—and not only that, he gave him special abilities to become Chainsaw Man.

What more could you want in a pet? He’s adorable, always there for you, and will protect you through thick and thin. Oh—and he can save you from danger. Pochita might be the all-around best pet you could ever ask for!

3. Agemochitaro – You Are Ms. Servant

Agemochitaro is a cutesy little dog said to be soft like mochi. He’s a new addition to the anime pet universe, as You Are Ms. Servant is a relatively new title released last year.

The show is full of emotions—and the best part? We don’t have your stereotypical maid. She’s more of an assassin than a housekeeper. But as expected, our sweet little mochi convinces her with his cuteness that he’s the best dog in the world.

2. The Hamsters – Himouto! Umaru-chan

Umaru-chan is one of the most relatable and popular characters in anime. I bet most of you already love her for her quirky personality—I know I do!

She’s your typical high school girl who pretends to be perfect during the day, but lets her lazy, comfy side loose at home—just like most of us! The hamsters she “adopts” (by forcing her brother to buy one) are beyond adorable. They’re so cute, she even wears a hamster hoodie to match.

Who hasn’t dreamed of owning a hamster at least once?

1. Nagoya – Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (My Little Monster)

Lastly, we have one of the most adorable and surprisingly influential pets in anime: Nagoya, the rooster. He’s not just comic relief—he might as well be the main character.

Most of the key moments in My Little Monster happen because of him. He’s the one who helped progress the love story between Haru and Shizuku and even brought the friend group together. A rooster who can help you get a girlfriend? If you treat him right, maybe.
