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.
Future Event!
Our Biggest Event of the year!
Live and Silent Auction Dinner
Enjoy an evening of great food and good times. Games of chance, 50/50 raffle and a silent and live auction are part of the fun!
The doors open at 6 pm with dinner served at 7 PM. There will be a silent auction and also a live auction during the course of the night. There will be games of chance too like mystery boxes and the deck of cards game with items worth 100’s of dollars, not to mention a 50/50 raffle that benefits the shelter. Everything participants spend that night (with the exception of the cash bar) go to benefit the felines in our care! If you own a business or if you’ve got a generous employer, you can become a sponsor of this yearly event. Donations can include items we use in our silent auction gift baskets or ad space in our evenings’ program. A business card sized ad is only $100.
As for ticket prices it’s pretty affordable. It’s only $65 ($20 is tax deductible) for the advanced ticket (or $70 at the door, if we still seats available that night). You can also get a discounted table for 8 people at just $480 so you can bring your loved ones (which equals just $60.00 per ticket).

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.
