FAQ

Can I customize a furry adopt or is it sold as-is?

At MeowFursuits, many furry adopts are sold as premade, one-of-a-kind designs that come ready to claim without changes.

This flexibility allows you to make the character fit your vision more closely without needing a full custom commission.

What rights do I get when I adopt a character?

When you adopt a character from MeowFursuits, you receive the rights to use the design for personal projects such as creating artwork, roleplaying, and building a fursuit. This means your furry adopt is your unique fursona identity within the community. However, commercial use—like selling merchandise featuring the character or using it for profit—usually requires separate permission from the artist. Resale or redistribution of the character design is prohibited to protect your ownership and the original creator’s work. Always read the specific adoption agreement included with each fursona adopt to understand the full terms.

If you plan to create a custom fursuit based on your adopt, check whether the listing mentions fursuit compatibility or contact MeowFursuits support for guidance before purchasing.

Are the adoptable characters one-of-a-kind?
