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
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!

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.

Friends Of Companion Animals Feline Rescue & Adoption Center
Monroe MI’s only all-cat rescue and adoption center is an all-volunteer organization that relies primarily on community donations.
DID YOU EVER WONDER WHAT TNR MEANS?
TNR ( trap- neuter- return) Is one of the most humane and effective ways to help community cats and reduce suffering. Every unspayed female cat can produce dozens- and eventually hundreds- of kittens over her lifetime, many born outside facing disease, starvation, weather, and danger.
By trapping, spaying/neutering, vaccinating, and returning healthy feral cats to their outdoor homes, TNR:
🐈⬛ Prevents endless litters of unwanted kittens
🐈⬛ Reduces fighting, spraying, and loud mating behaviors
🐈⬛ Help stabilize and gradually reduce outdoor cat populations
🐈⬛ Decreases the number of cat entering already overcrowded rescues and shelters
🐈⬛ Saves lives by preventing suffering before it starts
FOCA believes prevention is compassion. In just the last 4 weeks alone, FOCA has spayed/neutered 103 cats, -70 tnr cats and 33 rescue cats. Annually, we help approximately 800 cats through our programs. Every cat fixed makes a difference for the future.
TNR works because you cannot rescue your way out of overpopulation - you must stop to cycle at its source.
Every single week, our rescue and volunteers work tirelessly to trap, transport, and care for an average of 15 community cats through TNR.
THAT MEANS:
🐾 LATE NIGHT TRAPPING SCARED AND HUNGRY CATS
🐾 EARLY MORNING DRIVING TO TO HUMANE OHIO
🐾 HOURS SPENT RECOVERING AND SAFELY RETURNING THEM
🐾 PAYING FOR SURGERIES, MEDICAL CARE, FOOD, GAS, AND SUPPLIES.
Our trappers and volunteers are doing everything they can physically, emotionally, and financially do to keep up- but we cannot continue without help from our community.
We are urgently asking for donations to help cover:
😻 Spay/neuter costs
😻 Traps and supplies
😻 Gas and transportation
😻 Recovery care and food
😻 Emergency medical needs
Even $5 or $10 truly makes a difference when you're helping this many cats every single week.
Please help us continue this life-saving mission during the busiest and hardest time of the year- kitten season. The cats cannot speak for themselves... So we are speaking for them 💖
If you can donate, sponsor a cat, share this post, or help in any way, we are deeply grateful.
Together, we can stop the cycle of suffering 🐾💖

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.
CALL FOR ARTISTS. Are you artistic or crafty? Then we want you! For a $25 donation to the rescue you can reserve your spot at the 8th annual FOCA Art Market Sat. Aug. 29th. You can even commission some art made by FOCA cats (with volunteers help too of course). Check it out at the link in the image or the FB event page: FOCA Art Market 2025
Happy Memorial Day...thank you all for your service ❤️
We had some wonderful adoptions this weekend and we are so grateful.
Our petite black and white girl with the impossibly long whiskers and eyebrow hairs has officially been adopted .
If you've seen her recent video, you already know there's truly nobody quite like Aurora. Tiny in size but overflowing with goofy charm, personality and curiosity, she's had a way of making everyone smile the second those wild whiskers come into view.
Watching her find her people is the kind of happy ending we all hope for for all of our cats.
From rescue to home, Aurora's journey just got so much brighter. Have the best life sweet girl. We already missed those whiskers
