Its been so long since ive needed a pet slot but my friend recently joined and she's already maxed out and im just unsure of what ways still exist to get pet slots.

I know the millionaire center for 40mil sp you can get one. and I know the plushies no longer work. but i see in my stats i wont them from "awards and prizes" are those things that are still options?

No, awards and prizes haven't been a thing for a while.

Quoting (w. edits) on pet slot breakdown info:

X from pet slot plushies and early totems (soft max 10) X from pet slot loyalty totems X from new slot additions (max 55) X from the Millionaire Center (max 25) X from awards and prizes

Pet slot plushies and early totems refers to the old donation items that would give you pet slots. The reason it's a "soft max" is because the Mystical Montre Plushie gave 1 pet slot, but the Mystical Donadak Plushie gave 2. so, say, if you had 9 additional pet slots and then used a Mystical Donadak Plushie, it would push you over to 11 additional pet slots. (Also, i'm not sure whether the limit was always in place or if it was added later...). When you buy pet slots with CSC now, I believe these will be the first to fill up before it starts incrementing the "new slot additions" counter.

New slot additions are the ones you buy directly with CSC from the pets page.

Loyalty totems come from the Loyalty Box which is given every year on a user's anniversary (beginning after 2 years). These items are not transferable in any manner.

Millionaire center slots begin at 20m and increase in cost by 20m with each purchase.

Awards and prizes refers to the pet slots we've been gifted by staff, such as those awarded for quest-a-thon events. These are given at staff's discretion and there is no set schedule or guarantee on more awards and prizes slots.

The "base" or "starting" max for pet slots is 100 I believe (10 + 10 + 55 + 25). This number then increases with Loyalty Boxes (the most that could be received at this time would be 19 for users who joined at inception) and awards / prizes.

It's been a while since we've had any pet slots as prizes or awards, but I sure would love for that to happen again soon!

Thank you both very much!
