History

In July 2024, Sterling held a meet at the newly opened Steak ‘n Shake in Morgantown; seven attended. In August 2024, Sterling created a Telegram group to coordinate future furmeets in the area. When organizing the second meet—a furbowl in November 2024—the group decided to hold meets at least quarterly (every three months). After the third meet, and anticipating future growth, the group was formally incorporated in the State of West Virginia as Mountain State Furries, Inc.
