About us
Who are we?
We are a furry community group for the Cincinnati & Tri-State area. This is a place where meets in the local area are posted to help encourage a healthy growing community. We strive to host a monthly event and a larger quarterly event for members of the community to meet others, connect, and enjoy various areas in the city!
This group began in January 2023 with the ambition to help enhance events in Cincinnati and the tri-state area. With this goal, Flap-N-Yap partnered with a local non-profit called Community Happens Here! With this partnership, Flap-N-Yap has been able to host events at many local businesses as well as participate in Cincinnati Pride Parade!
We partnered with Community Happens Here because of our many shared missions: to seek and create ways for people to connect over social differences by softening and breaking thorugh invisible walls that exist between people of different social and economic situation. With our connection with CHH, we are able to help to provide multiple events for furries to participate locally while simultaneously meeting their neighbors and exploring the city!
