Meow! I'm Arid, a [[cat]] fur from the [[W:Philadelphia|Philadelphia]] area. I play [[W:clarinet|clarinet]] and enjoy [[W:Formula 1|Formula 1 racing]]. I'm 20 years old and a cisgender gay man.

I got my start in the fandom in January 2017 after finding the original [[Pennsylvania Furries]] forum. I was somewhat active there until it shut down on December 31, 2018. Before I found that forum, however, I found myself into [[vore]]. In 2015 I made an account on DeviantArt, and later [[Fur Affinity]], just to access vore art. Eventually I found some local "furs" pages on FA, including for Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. I eventually decided to do a Google Search on "Pennsylvania furs" and that's how I found the (now retired) PA Furs forum. I am still mildly active on their Discord server and Telegram chat.

I have autism. As a result I have a lot of trouble socializing and I process some senses differently. It does, however, play a big part in not only how I got into furry in the first place, but why I feel so at home here now.

Aridthecat: added one missing parenthesis, lol

'''IndyWolfy''' (born November 20, 1993,<ref name="IndyWolfyTwitter">[https://twitter.com/IndyWolfy/status/1197304654088065024], Tweet by IndyWolfy. Retrieved April 15, 2020.</ref> died April 12 or 13, 2020)<ref name="kirankingtweet">[https://twitter.com/kiranking9078/status/1250258959094685696], Tweet by kiranking007. Retrieved April 15, 2020.</ref>, commonly referred to as '''Indy''' for short and also known as '''IndySparkWolf''' or '''Ryan "Indy" Sparkwolf'''<ref name="IndyWolfyFA">[https://www.furaffinity.net/user/indysparkwolf/], IndyWolfy's Fur Affinity. Retrieved April 15, 2020.</ref>) was a [[furry]], [[W:Nintendo|Nintendo]] fan and [[fursuiter]] from [[W:Maryland|Maryland]]. His [[fursona]] was a blue and white "Bolf" (a "Gray Wolf-Grizzly Bear Hybrid")<ref name="IndyWolfyFA" />.

===Death===

On April 14, 2020 at 11:05 PM EST, IndyWolfy's boyfriend kiranking007 made a [https://twitter.com/kiranking9078/status/1250258959094685696 Tweet] stating that IndyWolfy had passed away in his sleep "Sunday evening 4/12 through Monday 4/13"<ref name="kirankingtweet" /> after receiving confirmation from IndyWolfy's sister. IndyWolfy had been in the hospital with a fever and high blood sugar. He had been bitten by a spider and was also unable to move.<ref name=IndyWolfyTweet>[https://twitter.com/IndyWolfy/status/1248635889967824896], Tweet by IndyWolfy. Retrieved April 15, 2020.</ref>

Update to the above {I was Indys boyfriend kiranking007} Indywolfy was bitten by something which caused his leg to swell and caused a lot of pain that lead to indy getting on and off fevers as well as vomiting and diarrhea. Indy was Border lined diabetic and he went a week with out being able to eat before he finally went to a hospital. he was tested for covid 19 prior to checking into the ER and he tested negative the hospital notice his blood sugar was out of line so they kept him 3 days 1st night to stabilize him the second to monitor blood sugar. Indy was given a antibiotic and placed on inject able insulin to control his blood sugar indy had checked into the hospital on 4/6/2020 and released around 4/8/2020. Indywolfy said he was still sore but was begining to feel a bit better and sounded better that Friday. When I talked with Indywolfy's sister Tuesday the day after he passed away she said it was a shock to the whole family since he had been improving heath wise each day since his hospital visit. The hospital retested Indywolfy's blood and they did find Covid 19 in his blood 4 days after his hospital visit. It is believed that with his weakened immune system from the viral infection from the bite and diabetic episode the virus was caught at the hospital. Indy's Family pushed for a autopsy to be done and the results showed that Indywolfy passed away from sudden heart failure in his sleep.
