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.

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.
🚨 To our Monroe people. Rosie has gone missing and is still not home. She was lost on 5th Street between Navarre and Wadsworth. Let's try to help bring Rosie home. If you're in the area, please be on the lookout for this sweet baby. Please check Garages, sheds, around houses anywhere a scared cat would hide. Please reach out to us as soon as possible if you happen to see her. Can you also share this so the word gets out? We would really appreciate it.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
It's officially Ginger Cat Appreciation Day (honoring orange and red-coated felines). Pictured here is Natasha, former FOCA kitten all grown up but still less than 6 pounds. Fun fact: did you know that only 20% of ginger cats are girls? True Story! Let's see your Gingers (boys or girls) below!
🩵 Santos Is Waiting For You...You Just Have To Know Where To Look. 👀🩵
This is Santos. He's 2 years old, big, absolutely beautiful, long-haired - and one of the biggest lovers you'll ever meet.
Santos loves to give hugs 🤗 The kind of hugs that make you stop and wonder how the sweet boy hasn't been scooped up already.
So why haven't you seen him?
Because he isn't out front!
We simply don't have the room to put every cat out where visitors can easily see them. And sadly, that means some of our most wonderful cats get overlooked. This handsome boy is one of them.
He is a lovable, affectionate boy who just wants someone to love him and give him a home of his own. He has so much love to give – and those hugs? They're pretty special. 💕
Ask about him!! He has been here too long 🥹 Give this big beautiful boy the chance to be yours 🩵
PLEASE SHARE..... YOU'RE ONE SHARE COULD BE THE ONE THAT SENDS THIS BOY HOME🩵🩵
