Update! Sorry about this. The name finally came to me. This site was called Kookeys.
I don't know why this is bothering me so much. But in like 2007 I saw ads for the site that was undoubtedly nothing but a Webkinz ripoff.(Maybe I'm wrong, and people who actually played on it will tell me I'm wrong, if so I apologize.) The stuffed animals you bought looked very generic. The whole thing looked very generic and honestly outdated to me from the ads. This was not associated with a known brand like Beanie Babies 2.0, or Rescue Pets Epets. It was also not Shining Stars. It just did not stand out or appear to have much of an identity besides appearing to be a ripoff of Webkinz. I also think it might have had a very generic name, or maybe a weird name, Whatever it is, I know I'll know it when I hear it. I also think this site existed until at least 2010 or 2011 because I remember it appeared as part of an April Fools joke pulled by the owner of a Webkinz fansite one of those years. Gosh I feel like I sound nutty for this though. Thanks.
Also, just to be clear, Webkinz ripoff means it was a site where you had to buy a physical stuffed animal with a secret code to adopt a virtual pet version. It was very generic animals, and didn't look to me like it was trying to be something more unique like Shining Stars.
