Welcome to the Feral Secret Santa Project 2023!

As I type this, I'm busy stuffing Halloween decor back into storage for next year, while a turkey with a knife in its mouth is looking at me threateningly. But too bad, it's now November and it is time for this year's holiday shenanigans to begin! And what better way to do so than with a new round of Secret Santa to bring the feral community together and laugh at our own inability to properly wrap presents without opposable thumbs.

Typically the Secret Santa tradition is a fun holiday game where a small group of people get together and are randomly assigned to give gifts to each other in secret. For the Feral Secret Santa Project, we’ll be doing this game exclusively for the feral community (though folks of all shapes and sizes are welcome)!



The way this works is fairly straight-forward:

• Signups will run from November 1st through November 14th. Anyone interested in joining can click the entry form link below. No fees, watches, or favorites required!
Signups are now closed and participants have been assigned their Secret Santas!

• Once the deadline for signups has been reached, we will shuffle all names on the entry list around and randomly assign each participant to be the Secret Santa for someone else on the list. Only you and the event moderators will know who you’ve been assigned to. Everyone has now been assigned their "target" and the gift hunt has commenced!

• After all participants have been assigned to someone, they will have until December 25th to research their gift recipient, find a fitting holiday present, and anonymously deliver the gift to their assignee while waiting to see what their own Secret Santa has in store for them! Gifts can be anything from artwork, Steam games, animal charity donations, even items off of Amazon or more; your imagination is the limit!

And that’s basically it in a nutshell!


Last year we had over two dozen join in and have themselves a good time. Community events like this are always lots of fun and have a way of bringing folks together to end the year on a positive note. We can never really know what another person may have been going through throughout the year, but you would be amazed how even something as simple as a small gift from a stranger can bring a bit of joy to someone’s holidays. So we hope to see you join in and wish you all a happy holidays!
