Several players of Stardew Valley support adding the opossum species as a pet choice. The opossum became popular after the 1.6 update was released because fans had long wished to have it as a formal addition to the companion selection.

In the latest update, Stardew Valley players can now adopt cats, dogs, and turtles as pets. Players can acquire more pets by increasing the friendship level of their present pet to the maximum and buying pet licenses from Marnie.

The opossum stays categorized as a wild animal that cannot be adopted even with recent additions to the game. The opossum gained popularity after Meloriot from Reddit posted a picture of their game character and declared their wish to adopt this wild creature. Through widespread discussions over different forums, players agreed that the opossum would serve well as a farm companion. The developer ConcernedApe has not officially stated plans for allowing wild animal adoption yet, but the high demand for this feature might change their mind.

Through Stardew Valley mods, players can find a solution to adopt opossums as pets. The "Adopt 'n' Skin" mod allows players to take custody of creative animals that can resemble opossums. The continuous growth of Stardew Valley mods enables players to build their farm vision before official pet support becomes available.
