  • Black glass vases

Host a Kitten Adoption Ceremony

In this enchanted circle, the real magic begins — every little witch discovers her purr-fect kitten to take home.

Choose Your Kittens

Once your graveyard scene is set, add the coven’s cutest companions — plush black kittens peeking from behind tombstones or curling up beneath trees, ready to charm your little witches. We used LIL’ JINX from The Bearington Collection, but any soft, cuddly kittens will do, think enchantingly sweet but magically mischievous!

💡 Tip: No black cats? No worries! Swap in plush bats, spiders, or other mystical creatures for a fun twist.

Make it Official!

Adoption hour is here! At the whimsical graveyard table, your witches can choose their spooky-cute kittens and immortalise the moment on a magical keepsake.

What to include on the adoption certificates:

  • Kitten’s name
  • Date of adoption
  • New owner’s name

💡 Tip: Create your own adoption certificates or grab ready-to-go designs at Inspired Party Design — just personalise, print, and party!

Conjure Up Spellbinding Games!

Once all the kittens have found their new homes, it’s time for spellbinding games that will charm every witch:

  • Broomstick Racing: Grab your broomsticks and race to the finish. Whoever zooms across first wins — but watch out for magical obstacles along the way!
  • Witch Pass the Parcel: Sit in a circle and pass the magical parcel while the spooky music plays. When the music stops, the witch holding the parcel unwraps a layer — keep going until the final surprise is revealed!
  • Witch Dance-Off: Boogie like a broomstick! Twirl, spin, and whirl under the full moon with witch hats on for maximum magic.

💡 Tip: Set up a ‘Coven Corner’ with a whimsical witch movie — the perfect spot for little ones and their kittens to rest between broomstick races and potion-making fun!

Wickedly Sweet Snacks

Time to treat your tiny witches! Stir up some fun with these magical snacks:

  • Hocus Pocus Popcor Bar: Conjure up big bubbling cauldrons of popcorn! Little witches can scoop their own buttery, crunchy treats into waffle cones for a magically munchy snack.
  • Witch’s Brew: Stir up bubbling green ‘spiders’ made from fizzy lime soda and scoops of ice cream. Top with whipped cream and festive sprinkles for a magical potion straight from the cauldron.
  • Cauldron Chilli: Serve hearty chilli in a big black cauldron, topped with a swirl of green sour cream for a potion-like effect. Serve with enchanting mini broomstick breadsticks.

💡 Tip: Create a ‘Potion Station’ for witches to customise their snacks. Give each topping a magical name — like ‘Batwing Crunch’ or ‘Moonbeam Morsels’ — for spellbinding fun!

Witch Party Favours

Let your little spellcasters fly home happy with these enchanting goodies:

  • Whimsical Witch Cookie Kit: Include witch-themed cookie cutters, icing pens, spooky sprinkles, and a printed black sugar cookie recipe card for a hands-on, tasty activity kids will love. 
  • Little Witch Hats:  Fill these adorable cardboard witch hats with DIY jewellery kits — bracelets, floating memory lockets, or charms — for a fun and crafty activity kids can enjoy at home!
  • Midnight Meow Bag: Send your witches home with a purr-fectly magical black cat bag. It’s a bewitching keepsake they can treasure long after the party ends!
  • Potion of Sweet Spells: Fill plastic vials with treats like gummy black cats, red jelly frogs, and rat-tail sour spaghetti. Label each with a magical name and pack them in a black box with shredded paper for a mischievously sweet treat.

💡 Tip: Add personalised name tags or printable labels to each kit to make your party favours feel extra special!

Magical Kitten Adoption Party FAQs

What age group is this party best for?
Ages 3–10. Younger kids love cuddling their kittens, while older kids enjoy naming theirs and participating in the adoption ceremony.

Are adoption certificates necessary?
Not at all! They’re a fun extra to make the experience feel official, but the party is just as memorable without them.

What kind of plush kittens work best?
Choose based on availability and budget! While black kittens are synonymous with witches, every coloured kitten adds its own little spell of fun.

How long does the adoption activity take?
About 20–30 minutes. Add other stations or games to keep the fun brewing all party long.

Do I need to guide the kids through the adoption, or let them do it freely?
You can do either! A little structure helps younger kids, while older kids love a more open ‘choose-your-own-kitten’ style.

Can I get matching party items?
Absolutely! We’ve got everything you need to make your setup shine:
