If you still have any questions, you can PM me or one of the General Helpers. It's their job to help you! ^^ You can read about them in this topic.
You should be comfortable with the site by now, so you can read the "Announcement" forum, found here. If you check that often, you'll be up to date with all the cool new features on CS. ^^
To learn about all the different pets and items on CS, you should check out the Guide Index. Then you can go to the CS free adoptions forum to get some older pets for FREE from other users! C:
I assume you already know where the adoption board is, and every month new pets come out from there, and sometimes on Holidays too! Make sure to adopt all the pets, and as much as you can of each one, because then you'll have more pets and a better chance for one of them to grow up to be rare! Even if you don't need or want a pet that you adopted, don't worry. You can trade them away for other pets to other users here!
If you like to draw, you can go to the Beginner's oekaki and make a picture C;
CS is a really fun site, I'm sure you'll love it :3 Good luck! <3
Hey there lilili45, welcome to CS. Don't worry about those cool pets, you'll get them eventually. It's hard, and that's what makes the game challenging and interesting. During events (like easter in a few weeks) there are usually more rare pets released, so stick around and you might be able to gather up some trade stock to boost your trading. Just be patient and don't worry if you can't trade for the pets you like your first week here^^.
