Illusion - I am always on the look for new products. They need to have an affiliation program, or I ask them for a fixed price to be included. I need to add more products from the Pertmart affiliation. When I started the site, I spend 2 weeks building pages with cat products by Pets.com. The company collapsed on the very day that I uploaded the pagesI don't suppose there was a connection but it was very frustrating. That's why I have decided to get more affliates.
As I said, I will add more products by PetsMart.com.
If you see anything in their site that you particularly like, please let me know.
Thanks!

I am thinking about new ways of making this site pay for itself. The costs are running high in terms of marketing and servers, not to mention the time I put into it.
How would you feel if I started an optional membership plan? That would mean that those who wish to help will be able to pay for an official TCS membership at a reasonable price. By optional I mean that no one has to pay, as I don't want to restrict access to any of the cat info on the site or on the forums. I think this place has actually helped save a few cats and I won't have that compromised for money.
As it's going to be optional, so will be the price. I will offer various prices and members can pay as much as they think they want to pay for what they get. Payment will be made with credit cards on a secure third party server, so it won't be a hassle with checks and all.
What do you think? I really want your honest opinion on this one. I don't want to do anything that will make people resent me or the site.
Thanks!
Darn it! I forgot that you would have a hard time with the shipping costs... I honestly don't know if there is a website that provides this service. Thinking on it, it would seem that you'd either have to use a company here in the US, that the members could order from directly and let that company handle the shipping... or, find a member here who would be willing to have the t-shirts shipped to their home for re-distribution? That's a big commitment for someone to make though.Originally posted by Anne
That's a great idea! Is there a web based service for that? I would have to have that as I can't make them here and then ship them - it would be too expensive I think.

Illusion - I couldn't find a link to soft claws. I have set up a page in the shop with clawing solutions (thought it would be a good link for people who are contemplating "the D-deed").

I have contacted Petsmart and I hope to get a link to soft claws soon.
