Tails and Tornadoes Fur Con (TTFC)

Tails and Tornadoes Fur Con (TTFC) is a strictly 18+ furry convention held each September at the Renaissance Tulsa Hotel & Convention Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Attendance has grown steadily from 326 in 2019 to 1,557 in 2025, and the convention is a consistent supporter of the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) in Bartlesville.

2026: Dinos, Drives, and Fluffy Vibes!

Running from September 4-6, 2026, the convention presents a "Dinos, Drives, and Fluffy Vibes!" theme. This "Retro-Dino" mashup combines prehistoric elements with classic 1950s Drive-In culture to mark the 100th anniversary of Route 66.

TTFC distinguishes itself by operating as a strictly 18+ convention by default. All attendees must be of legal age, which allows tailored programming, adult-oriented panels, and late-night social events. Despite steady attendance growth past 1,500 attendees, the convention remains committed to philanthropy, regularly raising thousands for the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) in Bartlesville.

How Do I Get to Tails and Tornadoes Fur Con?

Tulsa's infrastructure makes TTFC well-positioned for Midwest and Southern attendees:

• Flying: Tulsa International Airport (TUL) is convenient and compact, with direct connections from hubs like Dallas, Denver, and Chicago, and sits just minutes from the city center.
• The Route 66 Road Trip: The 2026 theme honors the historic highway, and Tulsa is easily accessible via I-44 (the Turner Turnpike), making it a straightforward road trip from Texas or Missouri.

Where Should I Stay for Tails and Tornadoes Fur Con?

The hotel block is the center of the weekend:

• Main Venue (Renaissance Tulsa Hotel & Convention Center): A recently expanded property. Because TTFC runs late-night programming due to its 18+ policy, securing a room inside the Renaissance lets attendees move between events and their rooms without driving in the Oklahoma heat.
• The Metro Zone: The hotel sits in the developed southern corridor of Tulsa, with a range of Midwestern dining, steakhouses, and affordable overflow hotels within walking distance.
