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

8th Annual Kitten Shower!

The Eighth Annual Kitten Shower will be held Saturday, June 20 from Noon to 5 PM! We’ll have party games, snacks and dollar raffles to enjoy!

Our NExT Event

On-Line Auction

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’!

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!

Just look at these sleepy little faces! These adorable kittens are doing their best to stay awake, but nap time is clearly winning and the sounds of those loud purrs its gonna happen😴

We're happy to report that Charlie has already found her forever home! πŸ‘πŸ’˜. But her brothers, Augie and Willie, are still waiting for families of their own.

As we prepare for a kitten shower this Saturday, June 20th, from noon to 5:00, our nursery is overflowing! We currently have 30+ kittens available for adoption, with more in Foster and even more arriving all the time. While we'd love to find homes for every kitten, we also need help caring for many little lives depending on us.

⚠️ WARNING: Side effects of attending may include falling in love and going home with a kitten...😻

Join us this Saturday for:
πŸ§πŸ§‹ Snacks and refreshments
πŸŽ‰ Fun games!
πŸ’² $1 raffles with great prizes

All proceeds from the games and raffles goes directly toward helping the cats and kittens in our care.

πŸ”₯We are also in great need of donations, especially:
FANCY FEAST CHICKEN PATE
FANCY FEAST TURKEY PATE
KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer)

These items are used everyday in our nursery and with our Fosters. It helps us care for orphaned, nursing, and growing kittens.

Whether you're hoping to adopt, support the rescue, buy a raffle ticket, or simply enjoy some kitten cuddles, we'd love to see you there! Every adoption, donation, raffle ticket, and share helps us continue saving lives.
