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!

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’!
So, if you don’t want to bid on anything but you still want to donate to the cause just click here now!

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.
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.
💖 In case you missed yesterday's post.. HERE'S YOUR REMINDER 📣🚨
Five siblings. One room. Approximately 847 zoomies. 😂🐾
Sherb, Shep, Sasha, Samson and Saber are having the time of their lives playing, wrestling and causing kitten chaos... But what they REALLY need are HOMES 🏠🐾💖
Yesterday we told you how badly we need adoptions- and today, these five little faces are here to remind you. We can't keep helping more cats and kittens if we can't make room.
Please adopt. Please share. Please tag that friend who keeps saying,..."I've been thinking about getting a kitten..."👀😻
The next call for help is coming. It always does. But right now, we have nowhere to put them. That's the reality. We need adoptions TODAY. Please don't assume someone else will step up. If you've been thinking about adopting, NOW is the time.
friendsofcompanionanimals.org/cat-adoption-form/
Late posting but on 6/24/26 we had 15 more cats go for TNR. Although the work is tiring and there is no end in sight, knowing we are preventing the next generation of homeless babies keeps us going. Feline Fund has helped support these efforts and we are beyond grateful.
When it's hot 🥵...it's a holiday weekend...and you are officially OVER IT. 😂🐾
We feel ya , little one.😹. No thoughts. No plans. Just feet hanging out and waiting for someone to adopt you.
But behind this funny little moment is a reality that isn't so funny...💔
WE NEED ADOPTIONS...BADLY.
Kittens keep coming. The calls for help don't stop. And every cage that stays full means we have less room to say yes to the next cat or kitten who desperately needs us.
If you've been thinking about adopting... THIS IS YOUR SIGN. 🐾❤️
Come meet your best friend. Please adopt. Please share. Help us make room to save more lives🙏❤️
Our adoption fee for a kitten is $150. This includes their spay/neuter, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, tested for FIV and felv, dewormed, flea medicated, and microchipped.
