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.

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 Biggest Event of the year!

Live and Silent Auction Dinner

Enjoy an evening of great food and good times. Games of chance, 50/50 raffle and a silent and live auction are part of the fun!

The doors open at 6 pm with dinner served at 7 PM. There will be a silent auction and also a live auction during the course of the night. There will be games of chance too like mystery boxes and the deck of cards game with items worth 100’s of dollars, not to mention a 50/50 raffle that benefits the shelter. Everything participants spend that night (with the exception of the cash bar) go to benefit the felines in our care! If you own a business or if you’ve got a generous employer, you can become a sponsor of this yearly event. Donations can include items we use in our silent auction gift baskets or ad space in our evenings’ program. A business card sized ad is only $100.

As for ticket prices it’s pretty affordable. It’s only $52 ($15 is tax deductible) for the advanced ticket (or $60 at the door, if we still seats available that night). You can also get a discounted table for 8 people at just $365 so you can bring your loved ones (which equals just $45.00 per ticket). Purchases can be made here or at the shelter during open hours of Wed – Sat Noon to 5 PM.

Location: LaRoy’s Hall 12375 S Telegraph Rd La Salle, MI 48145

Date: Saturday, November 16, 2024

FOCA took on another hoarding case in 2023 – this one in LaSalle – and several local TV stations took an interest and helped us spread the world. If you’d like to make a donation to this ongoing case click the button.

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!
