Warrior Cat Games: Fan Favourites and a Tiny Knight Cat

What players mean by “warrior cat games”

Most people searching this phrase have read the Warriors books. The series follows four clans of forest cats (ThunderClan, WindClan, RiverClan and ShadowClan), and “Erin Hunter” is a pen name shared by a team of writers. The first book, Into the Wild, came out in January 2003 from HarperCollins, and the series has kept growing since (Wikipedia).

So a “warrior cat game” can mean three things:

• A clan simulator: you manage a clan, its ranks, births, deaths and relationships.
• A role-playing game: you play one cat and grow from apprentice to warrior.
• Any game with a brave cat hero: a cat with a sword, a mission and someone to save.

Token Tails is not connected to the Warriors books, their publisher or any of the fan games below. We list them because they are what most searchers actually want.

Fan-made Warriors games worth knowing

Fan games are made by volunteers, for free, out of love for the books. Treat them that way: download them from their own pages, and support the people who make them.

• ClanGen. A free, open-source clan generator and story-building game. You start a clan, then watch cats age, take apprentices, fall out and fall in love, with events written by the community. The code is public on GitHub, which also links to the official download.
• The itch.io warrior cats tag. Small studios and solo makers publish browser and download games under this tag: visual novels, clan sims, character makers and short adventures. Quality varies; the fun is in the variety.
• The official RPG. Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest is a licensed turn-based RPG with a campaign per clan and a warrior you design yourself. It was announced for 23 October 2026 on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch (RPG Site).

If you want the full clan experience, start with ClanGen or the official RPG. If you want a short, free adventure with a hero cat and no download, read on.

Pink Paw Knight: a tiny knight who rescues kittens

Pink Paw Knight is a third-person 3D adventure that runs in your browser. You play Clem, a tiny knight cat with a pink bow and a very large sword.

Save lost kittens with a tiny knight. Every cat you save is a real cat at Pink Paw in Kaunas.

That line is the heart of it. The kittens Clem finds are based on real cats at Pink Paw (Rožinė pėdutė), a cat shelter in Kaunas, Lithuania. A clan story is about loyalty to your own; this one is about going out and bringing a lost cat home. For the controls and how the rescues work, read Pink Paw Knight: a kitten rescue game.

What to expect:

• Free, in the browser. Open tokentails.com/swordcat and play. There is nothing to install.
• Keyboard and mouse on a computer. Move with WASD and look around with the mouse. The page also has touch controls for phones and tablets.
• Real names. The shelter cats you meet carry the names of real Pink Paw cats.

Catnip Heist: a stealthy duo instead of a clan

If you like the strategy side of clan life, such as planning a raid and timing patrols, Catnip Heist scratches that itch. You guide two cats past Kibble Corp’s guard dogs, grab catnip coins, open the vault and free a shelter cat.

It is a stealth puzzle game, not a fighting game. One cat holds a pressure plate while the other slips through a door, and a well-timed meow lures a guard dog away from its post. There are 16 levels in two acts, and it needs no sign-up. Our Catnip Heist guide has the controls and tips for three stars.

Why these cats are real

Clan cats live in books. The cats behind Pink Paw Knight and Catnip Heist come from Pink Paw in Kaunas, and both games tie a win to the shelter.

Save one, and Token Tails can send Pink Paw a free treat. It goes to Pink Paw’s wallet. Token Tails covers each 0.01 USDC treat, so it costs you nothing, and every one is public: you can open the shelter payouts page and follow any payout to its transaction.
