A few weeks ago we asked you to let us know who you thought made your experience in the community much better during 2016. Who were the most helpful, knowledgeable and cheerful members that you felt made a difference.

Dozens of nominations were made via private messages. Each one of these members made a difference and I'd like to thank you all for letting us know about these wonderful people. They may not have ended up receiving one of the awards but please know that their contribution is extremely valued! 

After much deliberation, counting members' nominations and evaluating team votes, we have our list of winners in each category! Straighten your bow ties and whiskers and raise your glasses of champagne and goat milk, it's time to make the announcements!

Thanks to all who nominated and it's a surprise to me to receive the award :banana1: as I wasn't expecting one and this is the least I can do for The Catsite.
This is a wonderful site with many wonderful cats and people.
Keep on meowing and don't stop meowing! Way to go Catsite! :clap:

Congratulations to ALL!!!

I know I was supported by many of the names above and truthfully, couldn't have gotten through this past year without the kind words expressed to me during times of great darkness.

I appreciate it all so very much.

Warmest regards, Hope and my 2 sweet angels Simon

Ohmigoodness!!! I'm completely stunned and honored...did I read correctly that I won a 2016 TCS Award?? I've actually checked a couple of times to make sure I wasn't seeing things [emoji]128522[/emoji]
Thank you all so much. I found TCS earlier this year when researching nutrition info for my cat but joined and stayed because of the great people. TCS is my "happy place" where I come to be a part of something positive, away from the stresses of daily life. I've become a better cat guardian thanks to TCS members.
I will do my best to continue to be deserving of my TCS Badge [emoji]10084[/emoji]️

Awwww - - I'm dumbstruck! I actually cried when I saw I'd won a Suppurrtive Furriend award!  This site - and its amazing, compassionate, knowledgable, forgiving, caring, and yes, sometimes laugh out loud wacky funny members - has come to mean the world to me. It's where I turn when I have a question or need a broad shoulder, and has gotten me through many rough patches and helped me answer many questions....never judging. But mostly it's amazed me that 24/7/365....someone somewhere is always there to give suggestions or even to make me laugh when I didn't feel like it. I'm SO happy that some of the members must feel I provide a little bit of that ever-present, never-tiring support that this site always seems to offer, and if I've been able to help even 1/1,000th as much as I've BEEN helped over the years, I'm touched.

Thanks guys! I'm BEYOND touched!!!!! Flick was on the edge of her seat - waiting with anticipation to hear if Mom had won anything (Mom assured here it would be a longshot)....and Jo and Bowie settled into a blanket to await the news. (you'll be happy to know those two went right back to sleep after hearing the news).

Thanks again - - it really made my day!!!

And congrats to ALL the winners - - - - everyone beyond deserves it!

Congratulations to you all!
You are all amazing people and so helpful to everyone on TCS.
I can only hope that one day I can be even half as valuable as you all are on this site.
Congratulations once again!!
