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
open air art market!
CALL FOR ARTISTS: Saturday August 29, noon to 6 pm. Set-up starts at 10 am each day. If you are an Artist or a Maker and would like to be part of the FOCA cat shelters’ 8th annual open-air art market please visit our fundraising link to make your donation to secure your space. Spots are limited so please get back to us asap. A single space for your tent costs $25.00, which is considered a donation to the shelter. Participants will have to bring their own tables and anything else they may need – 10×10 tents and smaller are allowed. Funds are considered a donation and go directly to the shelter. Since ‘table rental’ is a donation it won’t be refunded should the event be canceled. In the event of bad weather the market will take place the following day on Sunday.

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.

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.

Some personalities are just impossible to ignore.. and Kinsley made sure everyone knew she was ready for a family! 😸
This sweet, demanding, and wonderfully chatty girl has officially found her forever home. We have a feeling she'll be running the house in no time - and her new family wouldn't have it any other way
Congratulations Kinsley! Enjoy being the center of attention where you belong. 🐾❤️
