Available Cats & Kittens
Don't Shop. Adopt.
All of FoCA's adoption fees cover their spay/neutered, FIV & FeLV tested, distemper shot, deworming and de-flea treatment.
Applications can be placed online or at our shelter during normal open hours.
We recommend getting pre-approved since we don't do same day adoptions

Need a non-toxic way to deal with pests? Barn cats are placed two or more together and acclimated with help from our TNR team on your property.

Barn cats are always provided in sets of 2 or more for companionship and security.

What We Do

So if you’re interested in adopting a cat or kitten… or if you’d just like to spend some time playing with some feline companions in our playroom, feel free to stop into Friends of Companion Animals and see who’s available! Our kitties will love the companionship and you’ll have a great time too and if you have any questions feel free to reach out to us.
What You Can Do
VOLUNTEER
It’s not glamorous, but if you’ve got a few hours on certain days there are always cats that need cleaning and general care…and cuddles too. If you’ve got a spare room we also need fosters too.
FUNDRAISING
Don’t have time or the ability to roll up your sleeves to help. We do take monetary donations along with bottles for returns to raise funds for odds and ends the shelter needs.
DONATE SUPPLIES
We are brand specific to certain Purina products – Kitten Chow, Naturals Original and Gentle. Yes, beggars can’t be choosers but using the same products helps avoid tummy upset.

Humane Ohio and The Paws Clinic offer a high-quality, low-cost cat spay / neuter service. They offer discounts to people seeking low-cost vet services for felines.

To help control the cat population in Monroe County FoCA offers TNR advice. It’s a great way to keep neighborhood cats from overpopulation.
free barn cats
Discourage rodents and provide a companion for other farm animals. Each cat is spayed/neutered and vaccinated so they are ready to ‘work’ and be a friend.

We often have senior cats in need of quiet loving households. For senior humans seeking companionship it’s win/win for everybody.

Meet a handsome House Panther named STAR!! Star has a very rough start but of course we knew he was worth it💖. Very snuggly guy that's looking for a forever home 💞. Is that you? Star is such a special man. Literally was about to get euthanized cause his jaundice was so bad the vet thought it was liver failure but he was still eating so I took a chance on him getting better and he did!
Happy Birthday FOCA🎉🎂. We had two double adoptions. Franklin and Flex are so lucky to be able to spend their life together 💖💖. We are so thankful!!
Look at all the love Delilah and Penelope will have in their new forever home 😻❤️
