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

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!

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.
We would like to introduce you to Cedric.. he is male neutered and about 1 year old handsome tuxedo. He was originally found as a stray in December and taken into the Monroe County Humane Society. He was adopted and his new owner had to go out of state for school. Cedric got out in the place that was watching him, and after our conversation with his owners, it was determined that it would be best for him to find a new home. He’s currently staying with the foster family who found him and is now available for Adoption. This is what his Foster has to say about him:
Personality & Household Fit :
Cedric is a world-class cuddler who loves to lay in bed and spend time in your lap—he’s particularly fond of "helping" with craft projects like crochet. He is currently in a home with an older child and has done very well in this environment. He is also in a dog-free home, and given his dislike of loud noises and sudden movements, he seems to really appreciate the calmer atmosphere.
Grooming & Handling:
Cedric is a very good boy when it comes to maintenance! He does decently well with nail trims, which is a huge plus for any adopter. While he hasn't had a bath yet, he is generally easy to handle as long as things are calm. As mentioned, he’ll tolerate a brush but prefers a feather wand instead!
Ways to His Heart:
The Snacks: He is a total foodie! He loves cat treats, cat purées (lickable treats), and is a huge fan of turkey lunch meat (he’s been a bit spoiled by his foster grandma!).
The Affection: Cedric is a total lovebug. He loves kisses and hugs and will happily sit in your lap while you’re crocheting or just relaxing.
The Comfort: He loves a comfy bed and will happily spend his time curled up and cozy. He’s also at his happiest in a window hammock, watching the birds and the world go by.
Temperament:
He has shown no aggression toward humans or the other cats in the home. He is a gentle, incredibly vocal boy who communicates by chattering and "talking" to you all day. he simply loves to have a conversation and let you know he’s there. He uses his voice to be part of the family rather than using his claws.
Important Travel Note :
Cedric absolutely panics in cat carriers. He can actually hurt himself trying to escape them and is very stressed by car rides.
If you would like to consider giving Cedric his forever home, please reach out to us. You can go online and fill out an Adoption application to get pre-approved ☺️❤️🐈⬛
