Cats are graceful, bold, playful, furry — and most importantly, cute. Sounds like the best animal to base your VR avatars on! Whether you need an avatar for VRChat adventures, VIVERSE parties, or just simply love felines, here are 5 best websites for finding cat avatars. Realistic, stylized, or humanoid, these websites will have the cutest, furriest, and most animated cats. Feel free to take these cat avatars to any social VR platform — these amazing avatars aren’t exclusive to VRChat!
1. VRChat
VRChat is one of the world’s most popular social VR platforms right now, but did you know you can also obtain avatars from the platform? Aside from searching for worlds to explore, you can also find worlds that have avatars for you to try on, kind of like a clothing store.
Typing “cat avatars” or other cat-themed search terms into the “Avatar Worlds” tab will give you a list of all avatar worlds that have a library of cat avatars. There are also avatar worlds with search bars embedded in them due to their vast number of avatars, so inputting feline-related terms will give you a plethora of cat avatars for you to roam around VRChat and other social platforms with.
Secret tip: You can also duplicate other users' avatars! Throughout your VRChat adventures, if you see avatars you like, feel free to visit their profile and select “Clone” (if they have this feature enabled) to simply copy their avatar over so you can use it too!
2. Gumroad
Gumroad is an e-commerce platform with a focus on digital creativity. It is essentially Amazon, but for digital goods, art, and software.
Jump into troves of cat avatars in all styles by selecting “3D” in the top task bar and type in the cat keywords you are looking for. Gumroad’s extensive filtering options allow you to easily sort through your requirements, like file type, price, rating, and more.
3. SketchFab
SketchFab is definitely the go-to place for all things 3D. They offer 3D models, 3D creative tools, and of course, cat avatars!
Searching for cat-related keywords or tags takes you to all the cat avatars, 3D models, and assets. They even have a category named “Animals & Pets” if you decide to choose a different animal.
You can also comb through users’ collections of 3D models or avatars to find what you are looking for quicker.
Unity is a digital development platform that lets users create both 2D and 3D games, apps, and other forms of digital content. Unity’s Asset Store has a huge selection of 3D models, which means they also have a fair share of cat avatars for you to choose. Be sure to choose 3D avatars and not 3D models, as 3D models have not gone through the rigging process, so cannot be used in VRChat.
5. Jinxxy
Jinxxy is an avatar marketplace that gives you the power to search through the marketplace’s users and tags to find the highest quality avatars. Their wide range of tags allow you to accurately pinpoint the style of each avatar. Whether you are looking for a scary demon cat or a cute humanoid cat, you will be able to find it with ease.
Happy adventuring!
We hope you enjoyed these five websites for intricate cat avatars of all shapes, styles, and themes. The number of amazing 3D models and avatars are increasing due to the accessibility of avatar marketplaces and the popularity of social platforms like VRChat and VIVERSE. Paired with 3D worldbuilding tools like VIVERSE Create, self-expression in the virtual world is becoming more and more important. We hope you can find the perfect avatar for your virtual adventures in every social VR platform!
