Every time you shop online, you have a chance to help a diabetic cat in need - without spending a penny more.

When you use one of the links in this section, a percentage of your purchase goes to support diabetic cats through trusted organizations link Diabetic Cats in Need (DCIN) and others to be determined.


How It Works:

  1. Click one of the links here before you shop.
  2. A cookie in your browser tracks your visit, so all qualifying purchases (not necessarily just pet supplies!) will count toward a donation.
    • For example, you click the "Amazon" link to order some Fancy Feast... but also end up buying a new surf board. Both qualify!
  3. On most sites, there is a 24 hour window once a link is clicked for the commission to be applied.
    • So before you hit that buy button, make sure you come back here and click.

Simply put - you buy something you already were going to buy, but click one of these links first, and we get a percentage (1-10%) of that sale to donate, without you paying any additional money.

How it works for the companies - their affiliate programs are a cheaper way for them to drive traffic to their website when compared to other advertising methods. They pay us 4% on average, where if they were to advertise on TV or through social media they would pay quite a bit more. It's a win-win for everyone involved.


The Goal:


The goal is simple: support diabetic cats using purchases we're already making.

For example, if 500 users spend $50/month, at an average commission rate of 4%, that's $1,000/month for "free" that we can use to truly help people and their cats.

This section will also serve as a resource for commonly recommended products to make life easier for those new to feline diabetes.


Transparency & Other Notes:

  • Most links currently only work for US shoppers.
  • I've set up a separate bank account to track all income from these links.
  • I'll announce donation totals as funds accumulate so you all can see the impact.
  • Just to be clear - I'm not keeping any of the money from these links. Every cent goes to support diabetic cats.

Thank you for your support and being a part of this wonderful community.
