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.

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.

Monroe MI’s only all-cat rescue and adoption center is an all-volunteer organization that relies solely on community donations.
🐾❤️ HELP US ENHANCE THEIR FUTURE - ONE TOWER AT A TIME❤️🐾
Right now and quite honestly most of the time we are home to 150+ cats and kittens who depend on us🙀
One of our biggest challenges?? Our current cat trees simply cannot hold up to daily climbing, scratching, and playful chaos that comes from caring for this many active felines. They wear out fast - and replacing them over and over just isn't sustainable 😿. While we are incredibly grateful for the donated cat trees that have supported us over the years (and..yes we are keeping some) many are becoming worn and tattered.
With that being said we are fundraising for something that will stand the test of time. The new Kuranda Towers will:
🌟Provide more usable resting spaces
🌟Improve cleanliness and sanitation
🌟 Increase safety and durability
🌟Help cats feel safe and comfortable in higher spaces, which is their natural instinct
🌟Allow us to redirect future replacement cost towards medical care and lifesaving needs!
Our goal is to purchase with your help 6 8-nest towers and 2 of the 5-nest towers, giving dozens of kitties safe, and elevated spaces of their own.
Our total cost for the upgrade is $2,098.
For most of our cats, this is the first place they have ever felt safe. The first soft bed. The first warm, clean space that's truly theirs🥹. These towers aren't just furniture - they're security, comfort, and a reminder that they matter.
If you can donate, SHARE, or help spread the word, you're making a real difference in the daily lives of 150+ deserving souls...until they can find their own forever homes 🏡🐾❤️

15 sweethearts are now snuggled up with their new families, getting all the love they deserve. Thank you to everyone who adopted, shared, volunteered, donated, and cheered our kitties on. You made this Valentine's Day unforgettable.
Here's to second chances, forever homes, and the love that lasts a lifetime 🐾💞
