Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · No fundraisers allowed; breed-ID questions are banned; cute photos/videos may be removed; flag gore/medical imagery as NSFW.
Links
No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: question, discussion, showcase
Headline = a short first-person question (e.g. “Why is my cat X?”). Post in first person, include cat age/sex/neuter status, vet access, and concise video/photo evidence. Typical length: short title + a few paragraphs of context. Tone: compassionate, practical, non-judgmental. Upvoted: clear behavior/health questions with details or video; Removed: cute-only photos, fundraisers, breed-ID requests.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/cathelp's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
