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
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!
Come one come all to the 8th Annual Foca Art Market! This year we’ve got 17 vendors who will be displaying their good at our side parking lot. Venture Brewing next door will even be donating 10% of your purchase to the shelter that day so make sure you stop over there too for some great brews and the food truck of the day!

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!

Friends of Companion animals Services
Low Cost Spay Neuter
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.
Trap Neuter Return
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.
senior cats for seniors
We often have senior cats in need of quiet loving households. For senior humans seeking companionship it’s win/win for everybody.

Monroe MI’s only all-cat rescue and adoption center is an all-volunteer organization that relies primarily on community donations.
🐾 THE BEST KIND OF WORK DAY HAS KITTIES INVOLVED! 🐾
We want to give a HUGE shout out in heartfelt THANK YOU to The Advance Group! 💖
The Advance Group reached out and offered to bring a group of their employees to the rescue for a special cleaning day and they absolutely ROCKED it 💝
They came ready to work, jumped right in, and helped us tackle some much-needed cleaning. For a rescue that is always busy, caring for cats and kittens, having a whole group of extra hands makes such a HUGE difference.
And, of course, no visit to our rescue would be complete without some kitty time 😻
Although, as you can see, our volunteers don't get to work without supervision... 👀😸
The Advance Group, thank you for giving us your time, your energy and your hard work - and for giving our kitties some extra love and attention while you were here.
We are so grateful for your kindness and choosing to spend your time helping our rescue. It truly means so much to us!
🐾 And this could be YOUR company, too!
If your company, business, organization, church, or group would like to bring a team out for a volunteer day, we would LOVE to have you.
Thank you, The Advance Group, for helping make our rescue a better place for the cats who depend on us. We appreciate you more than you know 😻💖
🐾Volunteering is great for the cats but you too! It feels good to do good so if you'd like to put a little kindness in a weary world think about putting in your application today. Volunteers are needed 365 days a year. So pick the day(s) and time(s) that suit you best on your application today: friendsofcompanionanimals.org/volunteer-app/ 😻
