There's certainly an overlap for me, that's for sure, but I think furry in and of itself is more a social outlet for me. My fetishes aren't specifically furry, but aspects of the fandom do make them more enjoyable. I've loved slinky gear and rubber for an ages, but the fact most of my slinky stuff is animal print speaks volumes. Likewise the rubber masks...they could be enjoyed quite happily without ever going near the fandom, but the fact they're animalistic just enhances them for me.
I suppose the real question is, does the fetish seek out the fandom or does the fandom generate the fetish?
