You can usually finds them at your lps. I have seen them at walmart too. Sometimes they are in the dog/cat training areas as well. Usually in the $5 range or so, some are like $.99
Basically they let the animal know it had performed the desired action and their reward/treat is on the way.

http://www.clickandtreat.com/ for dogs, but the idea applies

But again, Google is your friend.
