The Cat Support Plan is a subscription service that allows you to support your favorite cats at cat cafes on a monthly basis. Using NC Coins (Nyan Coins), you can continuously support the cats you love. Through your support, you contribute to the operation of cat cafes and the care of their cats.

To start supporting, first purchase NC Coins. Then, go to the profile page of the cat you want to support or the cat cafe page, select a "Support Plan," and click the "Support" button. After confirming the details, your subscription will be activated. The first month's amount will be deducted from your NC Coin balance at the time of subscription.

The cost of support plans varies by cat cafe, starting from 10 NC per month. You can check the details of each plan on the cat cafe page or the cat's profile page. If multiple plans are available, you can choose the one that suits you best.

The first charge occurs immediately when you subscribe. After that, your subscription automatically renews on the same day each month, and the monthly NC Coins are deducted from your balance. You can check your renewal date from "Supported Cats" on your My Page.

If your NC balance is insufficient on the renewal date, that support is automatically put on hold (it is not canceled). Once you purchase NC and your balance reaches the monthly amount or more, the support automatically resumes at the next automatic processing. Support is paused while on hold.

Go to "Supported Cats" on your My Page, select the plan you want to cancel, and click the "Cancel" button. Cancellation takes effect immediately. Note that you can resume your support within 30 days of cancellation if you have sufficient NC Coin balance.

Supporter benefits are set individually by each cat cafe. Please check the plan details page for specific benefits offered by each plan.

It is the period during which you have supported without interruption. You can check it on My Page: a Bronze badge appears at 90 consecutive days, Silver at 180 days, and Gold at 365 days. It resets if interrupted by a hold or cancellation.

Yes, you can support the same cat with multiple different plans. However, you cannot subscribe to the exact same plan twice. If you wish to provide more support, please select an additional different plan.

You can check your support history from "Support History" on your My Page. It displays your total support amount, number of support transactions, and the number of cats you're supporting. You can also download the history data as a CSV file.

NC Coin (NyankoCoin) is a virtual currency that can be used within NyankoDB. You can use it to send tips to cat cafes and pay for cat support plans.

You can purchase NC Coins from "Buy NC" on your My Page. We offer multiple purchase plans. After selecting your preferred plan, you can pay by credit card. NC will be credited to your account immediately after payment is completed.

We accept credit card payments (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.). Payments are processed securely through Stripe, and your card information is not stored on our site.

Yes. Each NC expires 180 days after it is purchased (granted), and expired amounts are forfeited in order. Expiration is based on the grant date regardless of whether you log in.

As this is digital content, we generally do not accept returns or refunds. However, if a system error or duplicate payment occurs, please contact us through the inquiry form. We will investigate and respond accordingly.

You can check your NC balance on your My Page. You can also view your purchase history and usage statistics on the "Buy NC" page.

If payment fails, NC will not be credited. Please check your card expiration date and credit limit, then try again. If the problem persists, please contact us through the inquiry form.
