Affiliate disclosure

How The Cat Plan makes money

The short version: when you buy through some of our links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never decides what we recommend.

Amazon Associates

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. The Cat Plan is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and Amazon’s European Associates programs, affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and Amazon’s European stores.

What this means for you

  • You pay the same price whether you use our link or not.
  • Product links to retailers may be affiliate links. Pages that contain them say so near the top.
  • We don’t show prices on our pages, because they change constantly. Follow the link to see the current price.

What it doesn’t mean

  • Brands and retailers can’t pay for a place in our guides, a higher ranking or a better review.
  • We recommend products we’d be happy to stand behind based on our research method, including products we don’t earn from.
  • We don’t accept free products in exchange for coverage. If we’re ever sent a product, we’ll say so on the page.

Why we do it

Affiliate commissions keep The Cat Plan free to read and free of intrusive ads, and pay for the time it takes to research each guide properly. This disclosure is provided in line with the US Federal Trade Commission’s guidance on endorsements and the UK and EU rules on advertising disclosure.
