Oh dear. Since I think this response is to the same person who asked me if civets have hooves [no], I guess I better start from the beginning. The common palm civet is a medium sized land mammal, family Viverridae. It is also known as the Asian palm civet [Paradoxurus hermaphroditus]. Yes, it is the one from which is derived Kopi Luwak.

What is a baby civet called?
Oddly enough, this was a difficult answer to find. I had to work backwards from what I thought it would be [and was correct, a baby civet is called a kitten]. On the other hand, the best information I found about baby civets called them just that: baby civets. I am going to link that wonderful page but I will also add that you now have what seems to be a professional choice, made by professionals in the field. You can call a baby civet a civet kitten or you can call it a baby civet. After seeing the linked page, I know what I would choose.
How many legs does a civet have?
A civet is a lovely medium sized mammal of the family Viverridae. There are several different genera and more than several different species. Each looks something like a cat with a smidgen of, say, an ermine or ferret mixed in along with a little bit of lemur. As such--and as is common to all mammals--unless there has been some sort of untoward accident, a civet has four legs.
What is the contribution of the civet cat to coffee?
The contribution of the civet cat to coffee is unlike virtually every other contribution of every other animal known to humankind. In fact, it is what could be considered antithetical to most other contributions. The civet cat is the only mammal of which I am aware whose contribution to civilization lies within that which it cannot help but produce, and this daily.Specifically, one of the main components of the Asian Palm Civet's diet is coffee in its cherry form. The civet does with the coffee what any mammal does with one of the main components of its diet [it eats it], after which what happens to that component is what happens to any of the main components of anyone's diet after they've been eaten [it is digested, it leaves the body of the animal]. After the coffee has left the animal's body it is then, and only then, harvested to be made into the coffee known as Kopi Luwak--which is the most expensive coffee in the world.

What does a common palm civet eats?
Palm civets are reasonably small, extremely cute members of the family viverridae. This is a small and primitive family of carnivorous and omnivorous animals, made up of somewhat catlike, somewhat lemurlike civets and binturongs and genets and other mammals of similar nature. Among them, the common or Asian palm civet is an omnivore, one who eats mainly fruit. Along with mangos and rambutan and others, as you may know, the palm civet is a fan of coffee. From this we get Kopi Luwak [which I think may be the crux of your question]. As the palm civet is primarily, but not entirely, a vegetarian, Kopi Luwak is probably an iffy buy for someone who does not eat meat. I hope I have answered your question. I think so.
