How do I get a Orange Tabby Cat?

I haven't played for about...oooh, five years maybe longer? When our old computer died I forgot to reinstall the game (I was playing Marvel Heroes Online at that point) and then when I did reinstall it I couldn't remember the controls so got frustrated *headdesk*, then we installed Win10 and it ate out Win7 so the game got corrupted and...I just reinstalled it yet again after finding out about the Lobi Cats =>.<=

But, I don't know how to get one? Most of my missions have reset, all but my main character have disappeared, and I have no idea how to find that orange kitty *cries* it's been so long since I played I'm practically a noob again, so be kind?

Can someone point me to a way to get it? I have some leftover Zen and Dilithium Crystals, but I have no Energy Credits so help? Please? I need that kitty <3

    Go to the wiki and read about the Admiralty Ship System.

    Or, use Zen to buy lock box keys then sell the keys on the exchange for 5 credits less than the current lowest price (4.x million?). Use the credits to buy the kitty.

    If you are starting over, just playing the game will net you credits. If you are having trouble with the controls, playing the tutorial again would not be a bad idea, regardless.

    As for your character, it should still be there. When an account is unused for a long time, the information is moved to a storage area. Usually, when you log back on for the first time in a good while, the old information to tagged to be reinstated. Log out, wait a little bit (often a couple of minutes will do) and log back in. Provided that you have not created a new character with the same name, your old one should reappear.

    If that does not work, simply send a Support Ticket letting them know that you are a returning player and ask them to reactivate your old character. They'll manually put it back in for you.

    30 Lobi for a random cat, or you should be able to find one on the Exchange of the exact type you want.

    What's a Lobi and where might I find one (or 30)? I thought that was the name of the cat *facepalm* I'm guessing it's not?

    Lobi Crystals can only be acquired by opening a Lockbox.

    However as I said you should be able to get the specific pet you want by buying one from another player off the Exchange for Energy Credits. Just try searching for Orange Tabby.

    There used to be a free one from raptr but the points system there has long been removed and you can no longer get it.
    I stream on Twitch, look for Avoozl_

    But I have no credits? How do I get enough for a cat?

    Sell items you pick up from missions and patrols to a vendor. Also if you're able to... the Ferengi Admiralty track has a lot of assignments with Energy Credits as a reward.

    Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but I have only just managed to get my game up and running again and am still in need of a cat? Any colour? I figure it couldn't hurt to ask, seeing as it's International Cat Day and all? I have nothing to offer, so I am hoping some kind soul might have a spare kitty of tabby persuasion they might send my way? *drifts back into the shadows to continue lurking*

    *meow* =>.<=
