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!
Come one come all to the 8th Annual Foca Art Market! This year we’ve got 17 vendors who will be displaying their good at our side parking lot. Venture Brewing next door will even be donating 10% of your purchase to the shelter that day so make sure you stop over there too for some great brews and the food truck of the day!

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.
FOCA BOTTLE DRIVE
We got a loan to buy our shelter but the bank holds the deed so we need your help. Bring your bottles and cans to us at the shelter and we’ll put the money toward helping our rescue and keep our home!

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.

💞🐾 The Ones Waiting In Foster 🥹
These are just a few of the cats and kittens in our incredible Foster homes who are ready to be adopted - but can't come to the rescue because we simply have no room!
Our Fosters have stepped up in a BIG way during this emergency. They are opening their homes, giving these cats love, care and stability, and now they're facing longer stays because our rescue is completely full. 💔
You'll see little notes on the photos from the Foster families because who knows these cats better than the people who live with them everyday? They know their personalities, their quirks, their favorite things and what makes each one special
These cats don't need more time in Foster. They need a family. They've been loved, they've been cared for, and they're ready to start the next chapter of their lives.
Please take a few minutes to meet them through their Foster family's eyes. They are ready to be loved by someone who will make them part of their forever. 💖🐾
PLEASE SHARE...SHARING WORKS!!
