Furteca is a furry community located in Poland.

History[edit]

Officially established on March 8, 2022, the community is hosted on a Discord server with the same name,[1] eventually branching out to include a website, a Telegram announcement group, and a YouTube channel, among others.[2]

The idea to create Furteca was first discussed on a Discord server originally belonging to the Polfurs furry community[3], and was named after it. By establishing a new group, the administrators wanted to separate themselves from Polfurs. Officially, the name of the server has been changed to Furteca on 8 March 2022, and, at the same time, other media associated with it have been revealed.

Staff[edit]

  • Administrators: Orzeł, Lenka.[4]
  • Moderators: Phoenix Martius, Carrie Nox.
  • Guardians: Menos, Larsistrasza, Reyn.

Furteca
Someone who likes arousals, ingratiating[5]; an individual who attempts to influence another person by becoming more likeable to their target.[6]
