Singapore Furs

Singapore Furs is a community of furries in Singapore, an island nation of just 710.2 sq km (274.2 sq mi). The group was founded around December 2004, although the community has informal roots before the period. The community keeps in touch with its regional neighbours as a branch of AnthroAsia as well as furry conventions within the South East and East Asian regions, serving as a convenient furry regional hub. As of 2015, the SGFurs is headed by a committee of 5 group admins.

Online Community
The community is active on Facebook, and the Singapore Furs Facebook Page is where the latest events and discussions happen among the Singapore Furs.

In addition, budding artists in the Singapore Furs community regularly discuss art-related topics and conduct art meet ups at the Creative PawPads (SG) Facebook Group.

Apart from Facebook, the Singapore Furs community can be found on Fur Affinity, Google+ and Twitter. A historical archive of events can also be seen on LiveJournal.

Furmeets & Fursuiting
Furmeets are organised on an ad hoc basis due to the easy travel within the country. On average, attendance on larger events are approximately fifty per meet.

One of the primary reasons for furmeets is for fellow SGFurs monthly birthday celebrations. Examples of activities during birthday celebrations include bowling, fursuiting during Halloween.

The SGFurs Community have an annual chalet meet, which started in 2010, to provide space that caters to the varied interests within the community, and provide a platform for members to contribute their time and talent.

Other examples of local meets include fursuiting during local cosplay events and playing board games. Smaller local meets situated in downtown Singapore usually happen over food, and usually end of the night with plenty of walking.

Furmeets also happen when the SGFurs play host to visiting furs from overseas. Furmeets of this nature may involve touring around the city-state, or having a meal over the wide variety of local food. To date, the SGFurs have hosted furs from USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Norway, Germany, UAE, South Africa, Japan, Hong Kong and other ASEAN countries.

Unlike furmeets in Western countries, fursuiting during meets held in public locations are rare due to the complex logistics. Furthermore, the tropical nature of Singapore makes it extremely challenging for fursuiters to suit at length, restricting their activities to mainly indoor air-conditioned spaces. The later would also requires consent of mall management which are difficult to obtain.
