I am often asked by members here if there is any way for them to help to support the site. A lot of funds and hard work goes into making this website successful, and we will always welcome any help you can offer to keep it running.

I thought I'd put all the options available here in this one sticky thread.

Paid Membership

You can opt to become a paying member on this site. Paying members have the option to switch ads on and off, and they receive a few extra perks such as a larger PM box with room for up to 150 messages and the ability to upload up to 800KB in attachments.

Becoming a subscribed member is easy and can be done with a secure payment through paypal. You can view the details here -

Shop on TCS and Support our Partners
Need something for your cat or yourself? Please check our shop section (http://www.thecatsite.com/cat_shop). We don't sell anything directly - these are offers from our partners and with many of them we receive a commission every time you make a purchase.

Spread the Word

Help us reach as many cat lovers as possible and bring them to the website.

Here are a few ideas on how to do that -

Let your friends know about TCS. Send fellow cat-lovers an email telling them about this site and encouraging them to join our forums.
Please consider adding a link to TCS in your email signature.
If you have a website, please link to TCS. If it's cat-related, we'd be happy to link back to you. (http://www.thecatsite.com/cat_links)
Mention TCS in other online communities (please check the guidelines there to make sure you aren' t violating any rules). If you can, consider adding a link to TCS in your signature there.
Print out our brochure - http://www.kittybytes.com/Catflyer3.pdfand put it where other cat lovers can see it. Maybe your vet's office? the local library? the local pet store?
These are just ideas.

Whichever way you choose to help us - I thank you personally for your help! We both do!
