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.

BID FROM HOME! BID FROM WORK! BID FROM ANYWHERE!
Bidding takes place online so you can do if from anywhere you’re connected – work, home, the car, even the cat shelter! Plus, every dollar you spends goes right back into the care and housing of our cats so everyone wins! You get great items to take home and our cats get the funds since the shelter is run by all volunteers!
Plus, we’re continuing our month-long black out square game. We sold 25 squares but we’ve got 100 total to choose so stop by the shelter during open hours in April. Make a $5 donation and then pick a number that’s not taken yet on the square board. At the end of April, we’ll pull the lucky number and pick a winner to split half the ‘pot of gold’!
So, if you don’t want to bid on anything but you still want to donate to the cause just click here now!

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.

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.

Can we talk about Nolly?💕🐾
This beautiful, petite girl is as unique as her markings! Nolly is full of personality -; always on the move, curious, playful, and currently obsessed with her flopping fish toy 🐟
💔 Nolly REALLY needs a home. She's been waiting over a year for someone to choose her.🥺
She's a sassy little lady who knows what she likes. Nolly prefers to be the star of the show and may need to be your one-and-only, or introduced very very slowly to other cats. She keeps herself busy and entertained, but she also enjoys affection... On her terms!! Expect some adorable love bites when she's overstimulated... it's just part of her charm.😊
Nolly would do best in a home that understands her independent, energetic nature - she may have a touch of anxiety, but with patience and love, she truly shines.
If you're looking for a fun, quirky, and engaging companion, Nolly might just be your perfect match ❤️

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.
** just wanted to update this post with our TNR numbers from last year***we successfully TNRd 262 community cats*. We are hoping to surpass that number this year!!***
With the warm weather and spring also come kittens, lots of kittens. Part of our goal is to prevent these unwanted litters from happening. How do we do this you ask?? With a few very dedicated volunteers that spend hours of their own time, gas, and supplies trapping at various locations throughout Monroe county. Trap, neuter, and release is such an important part of helping to control the cat population. But this cost money, currently Humane Ohio is 45$ for community cats. This includes spay/neuter, ear tip, rabies, an FVRCP vaccine, and a topical 3 month flea and tick preventative (these things alone would cost over 4-500$ at your regular vets office). We need to raise money to continue our mission to fix as many community cats as possible! We do not get government or state funding to cover these procedures. We rely on our amazing volunteers and supporters to help make this happen. We also need more traps! Many have gone MIA when we loan them out, so we need to add to the current ones we have.
Also interested in transporting or trapping please let us know. It’s hard work and time consuming, but so rewarding.
You can donate specifically to our TNR fund through givebutter, donate at the shelter or PayPal. I will add a picture of the traps that we use in case somebody is interested in donating some.. we specifically like the double door traps that make it safer to transfer Cats in and out of the traps and to feed them while we are holding them for surgery.
