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

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’!

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.

We often have senior cats in need of quiet loving households. For senior humans seeking companionship it’s win/win for everybody.

🐾♥️FROM STRAY TO SAFE...MR. PATCHES STORY♥️🐾
When this sweet boy was found outside by one of our volunteers. He named him Mr. Patches because of the bald patches in his fur from stress licking. Life outside had clearly been hard on him, and he carried the worry of survival everywhere he went.
But sometimes the universe has a way of bringing the right hearts together.
A man saw our video of Mr. Patches and immediately reached out wanting to adopt him. As a conversation unfolded, an incredible truth came out - he already knew this cat. He had been feeding him outside for over a year, caring about him from afar, until one day Mr. Patches suddenly disappeared.
He never forgot him.
And now, somehow, they found each other again ♥️
No more cold nights
No more wondering where his next meal will come from.
No more surviving alone outdoors.
Mr. Patches is finally safe, finally loved, and will never have to be outside again 🏡💖
Stories like this are why we do what we do. Sometimes rescue isn't just about saving a life- it's about bringing souls back where they belonged all along. 🐾♥️
