Where can I buy faux fur? Looking where to buy fur to make your fursuit? Here's a list of some places to look!
Information for caregivers of furries
So, your child or dependent is a furry. What does that mean? How can you support them? Is it normal for children to be a furry? We've provided this page to help furry caregivers a know a bit more about furry fandom.
Can young people be furries?
Yes! Many furries who joined the fandom first learned about it at a young age. There is no minimum age to like furry fandom, and it is perfectly normal for a young person to enjoy it.
Are many young people furries?
Yes! Our community has a great number of young furries in it. There are plenty of young furries across the world. While most furries are adults, many are still younger than 18 years of age.
Does my dependent need to buy a fursuit?
No! Not every furry has a fursuit. According to studies done by FurScience, only about 10-15% of furries own a fursuit of any size. You do not need a fursuit to be a furry, though many furries might want one! You can read more about fursuits here.
How can I support my furry dependent?
There are many ways you can make your child or dependent feel supported.
Ask genuine questions. Let your dependent explain their interest to you. Get to know more about your dependents fursonas or characters if they're comfortable sharing.
Do your research. Learn what different furry terms mean and See below some excellent resources for parents and carers regarding furry fandom.
Support safe internet practices, make sure that if your dependent is underage you ensure they're using the internet safely! Communicate with your child and make sure they can come to you with any concerns. You can read some information about how to keep your child safe online here.
What's the difference between a therian and a furry?
Therians and furries are adjacent communities, some furries are therians and many therians are furries! Someone can be both a furry and a therian at the same time, or exclusively be a furry or therian.
A therian is generally defined as someone who identifies as or with an animal. Therians often feel as if their true self, beyond their physical body, is represented best as a particular animal.A furry does not identify as an animal. They are particularly interested in furry art, fursuits and furry fandom as a whole. They might make a fursona that they identify with, it is a fictional animal character that represents them.
A furry is interested in furry fandom and furry characters, a therian identifies strongly with specific animals themselves and connect to it via wearable animal accessories (ears, masks, tails, etc) or by acting out their animal's behaviour/movements with their body. There is a lot more depth to therianthropy than just mentioned here. You can read more our page for caregivers about therians here.
Are parents and caregivers allowed to participate in SAFurs?
Yes! You do not need to be a furry to participate in SAFurs run social medias or events. If your dependent is interested in our community, you are more than welcome to attend our events, join our social medias or reach out to us to ask questions.
I would like to learn more about SAFurs before letting my dependent get involved, what steps can I take?
We know furry fandom is definitely confusing to outsiders, and we understand the caution some caregivers might have with bringing their dependents to local get-togethers or allowing them onto our social medias. If you would like to understand more about our group, you can join us in-person with or without your dependent, join our social medias or contact us with questions. If you would also like, you can attend one of our larger events and chat to staff directly! We take inclusion very seriously in our group, and our ultimate goal is providing a safe and fun space for furries of all ages.
How can I help my dependent make friends in SAFurs?
If your dependent is underage, we sometimes run events hosted by staff with active Working With Children Checks. Our online platforms are a great space to get to know others, you can see our list of social medias here. Be aware that all our social media platforms are for people aged 13 and older. Coming along to events is also a great idea, our bigger events have a lot of activities and chances to meet new people. If you need some help with getting your dependent settled in, you can contact us. We can provide some help at our larger events with helping your dependent meet some new friends!

About fursuiting
Fursuits are costumes we wear for fun, often for social outings - similar to the fun you'd get from dressing up at Halloween. Often people get fursuits made of a fursona or character they identify closely with, as these costumes are often extremely personal luxury pieces of art!
Do I need a fursuit to come to events?
Not all of us have them or can afford to have a fursuit, but that doesn't make us less connected to the community. Everyone is welcome to our events with or without a fursuit!
Do I need to like fursuits to be a furry?
Nope, fursuits are only a part of furry fandom. You can still be a furry even if you don't want a fursuit or don't particularly enjoy them.
How do I get a fursuit?
You can make your own or buy one! If you'd like to see a list of Australian Fursuit Makers you can buy from, see this list here. You can also come along to our Fursuit Making Hangouts if you'd like to learn how to make one from scratch, see this page here on what to bring if you'd like to come along!
How much does a fursuit cost to buy?
It can be quite expensive. A fursuit head alone can cost $300 to $1000 depending on the quality and maker. This doesn't include the cost of the body or hands/feet! A fullbody fursuit can cost $2000 or more. The most expensive fullbody fursuits can cost up to $7000 or more! They are hand-made by skilled artists and take a lot of time to make.
How much does a fursuit cost to make?
To get the materials to make a fursuit, depending on the size and colours, it can cost up to $400 to make a fullbody fursuit from scratch. To make just a simple fursuit head, it's actually quite cheap! For the cost of foam and fur, it usually costs less than $200.
So... what is a furry?
Chances are if you're reading this you are a parent of a furry, a curious newbie to the fandom or you heard of our group somewhere and want to know what we're all about. The furry fandom is becoming increasingly visible in the media and in public spaces. As we appear more and more on TV, social media and out and about, misinformation about what our fandom is about has also become increasingly more common. As furries, we're probably the best ones to explain what we get up to, what our common interest actually is and some of the quirks of our interesting fandom!
Furry fandom is an Internet subculture interested in anthropomorphic animals, you'll often hear people describe things relating to our fandom as 'furry' or identifying as 'furries'. Our fandom has a common interest in animal characters that have human characteristics, like being able to talk and/or stand on two legs.
Unlike a lot of media fans, we furries very often create our own characters that we use to represent ourselves. We call them 'fursonas', a portmanteau of 'furry' and 'persona'. A fursona means many different things to different furries, so it's hard to boil them down to a single purpose. However, most furries would agree that the purpose of a fursona is primarily to represent themselves - either partially or wholly.
Often furries will be seen in costumes or 'fursuits'. You can read more about fursuiting here!

Event Rules
You must ensure you don't make a mess. Please bring your own form of mat, tarp or newspaper to protect the floor and tables.
If you're using a hot glue gun, you must bring a heat-proof/hard object for it to rest against so the hot glue does not ruin the floor/tables.
If you're working with fur, please bring a lint roller or some form of fur-collecting tool to ensure the fur does not get over everything.
Do not shave fur at this event, it is a health risk to anyone without a mask and a pain to clean up.
Do not use knives on tables or floors without a protective surface.
If you're working with upholstery foam, collect all your offcuts and discard them as you go to avoid having a huge mess to clean up later.
I'm new to fursuit making, what do I bring?
If you've never made a fursuit before, we have a guide as to what you can bring if you'd like to begin your own fursuit! These hangouts will help you get through the starting and planning phase of making a fursuit, or to help you get some advice on how to improve a costume you're working on.

Run a Dealer's Table @ FFBBQ!
At every Fursuit Friendly BBQ (FFBBQ) we organise a tent for local artists to sell their goods and services, we call this the Dealer's Tent.
There is no cost to run a Dealer's Table, we do not take any of your profit either. You are allowed to run a table as long as you have at least one thing to sell, be it goods (stickers, prints, any kind of merchandise) or services (on-the-spot commissions).
Dealer's Table Rules
If you're an artist hoping to sell at the FFBBQ, you can sign-up to get a table here. To be an eligible vendor:
You will need to be able to take both some form of digital payment (Paypal, PayID, Bank Transfer, etc) and some cash. It is recommended you bring change in case of cash sales.
You must only sell SFW wares and services. FFBBQ is all-ages.
You can provide future commission services but must still have at least one product or on-the-spot service available.
You CAN share a table with any other artists.
There are no associated fees for running a table, and FFBBQ will not ask for a cut of your profits. You are free to run your table for as long or short as you want. If you've already done an FFBBQ table, you are free to sign-up again after you've done your table.
We do not prioritise artists for their perceived skill, experience with tables or stock. These tables are a great opportunity for artists to receive a spotlight, try tabling in a friendly environment, and make a bit of cash. There is no minimum or maximum number of products you can sell.
You will be added to the bottom of a queue and contacted when it is your turn to vend. If you are unable to make the day, the person next in queue will be chosen but you won't lose your position on the queue.
Come along to a furmeet!
Our group runs a variety of all-ages and adult-only furmeets every year-round ranging from outdoor barbeques and dinners to indoor gatherings for gaming and artists.
If you have trouble viewing the calender below, you can access our Google calender here!
Some of the meets we run...
Fursuit Friendly BBQ (FFBBQ)
These all-ages meets are held in the Adelaide CBD parklands! They're the largest all-ages furry event in Adelaide. A free BBQ lunch is provided (+ drinks) for all attendees and a small selection of local furry artists will be present to sell their wares! There are plenty of outdoor activities and things to do, newbies are always welcome! If you would like to run an artist table at a FFBBQ, see this page.
Mature Animals Weeknight Social (MAWS)
MAWS is an adult-only event for mature furries to socialise. These events are often run at a number of venues, with a different activity each time to shake things up!
Summer House Furmeet & Fursuit Walk
A free, all-ages meet held in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. This meet is a great opportunity to get to know others and show off your fursuit with a regular fursuit walk through Rundle Mall!
Fursuit Making Hangout
A free workshop for all furries to try their hand at fursuit making. Check this page for information as to what to bring if you're looking to attend one of these hangouts!
Artist Meet
A free event for furry artists of all skill-levels to relax and draw together. These events are typically smaller and a great space to make new friends if you're new to our community and interested in furry art!
Some other furry events in SA...
FurBall
Run by Two Wolves Productions. This is Adelaide's biggest furry party event! FurBall's lineup always includes a wide array of local furry talent. Come along and dance the night away with SA's furry crowd.
FurTrader
Run by Two Wolves Productions. A free, all-ages market for furry merchants and artists to sell their work. This event typically runs on the same day as FurBall.
