We have exciting news!

Starting in 2025 Mephit Fur Meet will welcome everyone home in our new home, The Vitality Hotel in Memphis, TN! That’s right, we’re going back to Memphis!

MFM continues to have a really good relationship with the Whispering Woods Hotel, our previous home since 2010. The Whispering Woods has entered an agreement with a company to rent out the entire hotel, so they informed us that, regretfully, we had to find a new home for 2025 and beyond. MFM wishes them well in their future endeavors!

Our wonderful new home will be The Vitality Hotel. It has two pools, a hot tub, lots of conference space, and best of all, all of the convention space is on one floor! They reached out to us when they learned of our situation, and are very excited to open their doors to our big furry family reunion for many years ahead! The are a brand new hotel opening only a few months ago.

We know you have lots of questions, so we’ve tried to answer some of them here.

Do I need to cancel my room at the Whispering Woods?

No. All reservations in our room block will be  automatically cancelled. You will need to rebook your room! To book your room for MFM 2025, please check out our hotel page!

When can we book rooms at the new hotel?

Right now! 🎉

How many rooms does the new hotel have?

Around 300, almost 2.5 times what the Whispering Woods had. No overflow hotel!

What are my food options?

The Vitality has a wonderful restaurant and will be doing food specials all weekend long for the MFM family! We have worked with the new hotel to provide options for lunch and dinner for around $10-$12 each.

From the Board of Directors for Mephit Furmeet

Hello everyone,

We would like to take this opportunity to address any rumors that may be circling about an incident at Mephit Fur Meet this past weekend.

On Sunday, at approximately 12PM, our host hotel, Whispering Woods, received several calls from an upset individual who was offended that the hotel was hosting us.  The caller made several threats towards the attendees and the property, and the hotel notified the board of directors of the incident.  The local police were notified and sent investigators and officers to investigate the incident.  The police department has the messages and statements of the hotel staff and worked with us in various positions to verify the safety of our attendees.  The police are continuing to investigate and have increased the police presence to make sure there would be plenty of staff in the event the individual attempted to cause physical concerns.  The Board of Directors and the Operations staff were on heightened alert from the moment we were alerted to the incident. Our staff were monitoring, and we were prepared to implement our plans to protect our extended family here at Mephit Fur Meet.   

We take the safety and security of our attendees very seriously, and while we were very concerned, we were also instantly cautious to keep this within our staff members and not cause panic among our attendees.  As this is an ongoing investigation, we are limited on the information we are releasing but we would like to let everyone know that we took this threat seriously and our operations teams worked closely with police to maintain everyone’s safety and a friendly environment. 

We all thank you for your support and concern and we hope that this type of incident can have a peaceful resolution and that we will see everyone again next year when we start the weekend with our favorite saying, Welcome Home.

Hello MFM family and Trick or Treat!!!

MFM is proud to announce that with the spooky theme of trick or treat this year, we are extending an invitation to join us in setting up the trunks of our vehicles for a parking lot “trunk or treat”! Our goal is to set up around the front round about so that after the fursuit parade, the suiters and others in costumes can come around and trick or treat at our vehicles. There are dozens of decoration ideas all over the internet so we can all have fun with the decorations and giving out goodies. There will be secret judges on the decorations and prizes will be awarded for a variety of categories of the decorations you can do to your vehicles. Join us Saturday night out front of the hotel in the circle as we bring joy to the kids of all ages!!!!!!!!!

Pre-registration for Mephit Fur Meet 2021 is now open!

For more information, please see our Registration page. We also have a page of Frequently Asked Questions about how we’re handling the COVID-19 Pandemic this year, too, that you might find useful.

It’s official! On September 5th, Mephit Fur Meet will be hosting our Virtual Convention, MFM Home Away from Home! Our staff has worked tirelessly to prepare an array of activities and video clips and gathering platforms for you all to be able to join us online. While we are sad that we are not able to have the physical closeness, we hope that the virtual gatherings will help ease the sorrow and sadness from being isolated at home, missing our furry family. We will also be hosting our auction from August 31st to September 5th here. We also encourage everyone to grab a pizza and join us on Zoom Friday September 4th for our open gathering and pizza party! We will send the link and further information about the gathering to all of our social media platforms and post it here as soon as we have the link set!

To our Mephit Fur Meet Family,

We’re closely watching the situation with the COVID-19 virus. As dates for Mephit Fur Meet 2020 are many months away, we are currently watching to see how the pandemic unfolds.

At this time we have no new information to report about MFM 2020.

As we get closer to MFM’s dates, we’ll have more news to share. We will follow the laws of Olive Branch, MS, as well as the best practices recommended at that time. The situation is changing by the hour, and we want to make sure we do what’s best for Mephit Fur Meet and our family as the dates for our convention approaches.

The executive staff of Mephit Fur Meet,
Alex, Blue, Bunny, Goliath, and Tyger
