I think the result here is that pets need to be good for something besides just the feeding rewards for a shelter to make sense.

No no... What I meant is one a pet reached it's max out point in terms of feeding. It will grant 1 item at random, and then start back at 0 again to feed all over again.
Buying rarer creatures, then paying $1 for a instant item grant from that item is just for impatient people who simply just want to try and get the item they want rather then put times towards it.
So hence your cashing in from someone's impatience to spend time on the site to talk and advertise their link in their signature in someway xD

That's why you need a high amount of feeds per animal (100? 1000?) The rarity of the rewards would be like giftboxes that have been on the site for years, the longer the item has been in circulation the less rarer the rewards will be. But you do make a point, on whether a system like this should be limited in someway but that's only if you guys would decide to maintain some sort of item rarity.
But, meh. I just heard pet system and spurred an idea within 10 minutes. The only big task for a game like this would be the pixeling, and if you guys re-used a lot of the current animals on trisphee and just make items based off of them that will make things slightly easier. But there's still the entire design/pixeling crap to go through in general.
But hey, talking about this stuff in general is fun anyways xD
