They are readily available on Amazon, for example:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Turquoise-Fu...ds=furry+balls

However, I'm struggling to work out what a "faux vegan" furry ball is. If a vegan furry ball is non-animal then presumably a faux vegan one should be animal based. Very strange.
Looks like whoever wrote that product description consumed and then vomited a dictionary

I used to make the two doughnut shaped bits of cardboard and then the pompoms....it used quite a bit of wool as I remember. The snipping bit was the best when the fluffy ball appeared!

That was her public persona (even though she had a (lovely) husband and six kids.).

But she was an utter lunatic and could cause trouble in an empty house
