Furry Haven was imagined as a home for wayward furs in early 1999.  It was dreamed to be a way for those furs who are having problems with roommates, or family because of orientation, beliefs or other difficulties.  Furry Haven would give those a place to live and a resource to find jobs.  Furry Haven was a dream of Griffith 'Steeleheart' Buran.  It was to be funded by the furs living within the home, and by the sales of furry products on-line.  The balance of the proceeds were to be donated to organizations that promote the saving of animals, Further Confusion a convention held in the South Bay Area of California in January.

Furry Haven was also to provide ISP service and webspace at little to no cost to fellow furs.  This would give a place for authors and artists to archive their work and websites that are featured on other sites such as Furnation, Yerf, Yiff Star / So Furry, FurAffinity and many others.  Now this did not mean that we wanted to take over these sites, or replace them.  This was to be an archive site only. Allowing those artists and writers to have an archive completely independent from the servers that hold their material.  The archive would not be publicibly accessible and would be compressed and encrypted. The cost was to be based on many factors: size of archive, frequency of archival, method of archival retrieval, and other factors based on the individual fur involved.

Griffith Steeleheart Buran is a Cataldi.

You may ask, what in the heck is a 'Cataldi'? Well the simple answer is a mix of 65% White Siberian Tiger and 25% Alaskan Timber Wolf. That is the simple answer, but if you want to get a little more specific, add into that mix the personality traits of a rabbit, fox, otter, lion, panther, and a few other species.

Griffith Steeleheart Buran, or Steeleheart, or just Steele to anyone that knows him, and his player are pretty much the same.  The only real differences between them is the fact that Steele has fur, tail, muzzle and paws.  Steele stands just over seven and a half feet tall, weighs in about 320lbs.  He is not total muscle, but more well toned.  This is one kitty that can take care of himself.  Steele is covered with a pure white fur, with ghost grey stripes. Steele was born in FurryMuck Hospital years ago.  He grew up mostly in FurryMuck, except for the years he spent with the armed forces.  His is currently 215 years old.  He owns his own company, a small fleet of shipping and transportation ships.  This allows him to be his own boss, and also keep his paws busy by going out into space on his own ship. He usually goes out on deliveries himself.  He can repair most of the ship himself.  He can make almost anything out of anything.

Steele and his player are so much one in the same that what Steele does on-line, is most likely what Steele's player would do off-line.  Steele's player is pretty much the same, except that he is six feet tall and weighs in at about 200lbs, not really muscular or fat.  He has been considered cuddly (both Steele and his player have been called cuddle sluts and self-procaim themselves as such).  They both try to live up to it, as they love to give hugs and love to cuddle with anyfur that wants one, or looks like that they could use one.

Both love to help out others.  They both get pleasure from giving it.  If they can do something to assist somefur out, they usually will.  In the past they have built computer systems from miscellaneous parts and sent them to friends. They have assisted a few with getting back on their feet when they found themselves without jobs, by sending what they could, or by giving them a place to live and the resources to assist them in finding a new job. They have assisted in conventions and making the youngest Furry Cons on the west coast to be one of the largest in the world, Further Confusion.

There is much, much more to both Steele and his player.  Even though they are both a bit on the shy side, once you get past their thin shyness shell, you may find that you have a great friend.  If there is anything that you would like to know about either one, please feel free to ask.  They are more than willing to share most anything and everything about themselves.  Although the level will depend on how well they know you.  They are both much more comfortable with answering questions, than just blabbing things out.  They get kind of tongue tied when it come to talking about themselves, and breaking the ice.

Both can be reached in many ways.  But they don't publicize it.  Send them a message on the e-mail form and they will send you more information.
