So, What Is a Furry?

A furry is someone who resonates with or enjoys media featuring anthropomorphic animals—those are animals with human traits like emotions, speech, or personalities. Think of characters like Zootopia’s Judy Hopps or Sonic the Hedgehog!

Being part of the furry fandom means expressing your love for these characters in fun and creative ways—through art, stories, costumes (fursuits), music, games, and more. Many furries also enjoy meeting up in person at events like conventions, dance parties, or local meetups!

What’s a Furry Convention?

A furry convention—often called a furcon—is a fun, welcoming space for people who are part of the furry community. within this space furries can come together, share their passions, and enjoy all kinds of activities that celebrate the furry fandom.

Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been to many cons before, furcons are all about connection, creativity, and community!
