What We Do

Friends of Companion Animals Feline Rescue & Adoption Center is an all volunteer, 501c3 nonprofit animal welfare organization that has been preventing unwanted litters from growing up on the streets or entering the already overcrowded animal shelters in Monroe County since 2011.

Shelter Public Hours: Wed- Sat Noon to 5 PM

Resale Shop Hours: Thurs- Sat Noon to 5 PM

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.

Our Next Event

open air art market!

CALL FOR ARTISTS: Saturday August 23, noon to 6 pm. Set-up starts at 10 am each day. If you are an Artist or a Maker and would like to be part of the FOCA cat shelters’ 7th annual open-air art market please visit our fundraising link to make your donation to secure your space. Spots are limited so please get back to us asap. A single space for your tent costs $20.00, which is considered a donation to the shelter. Participants will have to bring their own tables and anything else they may need – 10×10 tents and smaller are allowed. Funds are considered a donation and go directly to the shelter. Since ‘table rental’ is a donation it won’t be refunded should the event be canceled. In the event of bad weather the market will take place the following day on Sunday.

FOCA BOTTLE DRIVE

We got a loan to buy our shelter but the bank holds the deed so we need your help. Bring your bottles and cans to us at the shelter and we’ll put the money toward helping our rescue and keep our home!

Behind quiet doors and soft meows, whiskered faces wait with hope in their eyes. Curious noses press against the glass, wondering when it will be their turn to go home.
Adoptions are low right now, and that means more cats spend longer in our care, longing for homes they can finally call their own. You can change that! You can be the reason a cat knows warmth, safety, and unconditional love.
If you've been thinking about adopting, now is the time. Visit us. Meet them! Fall in love💖. Click the link for our adoptable cats and kittens.
