S.O.S: Save Our Shelter!
Chances are you or someone you know has been helped by us at some point. and now we need your help. Recently, the building we lease became available for purchase so in order to continue operations, we’ve begun a grassroots campaign to pull together the $400,000 needed to buy the facility (or at the very least, gather the down payment needed for possible financing). By donating you’ll be helping countless Monroe County people (and felines, of course) and while we’ll take ANY donation of any SIZE, there are four tiers we’re asking from donors like you:
- SILVER – $100 or more
- GOLD – $500 or more
- PLATINUM – $1000 or more
- DIAMOND – $5000 or more
When you contribute at one of these levels, not only is it tax deductible, you’ll be added to our ‘Wall of Supporters’ plaques so the community knows about your generosity, however, you can donate anonymously too. We’ll also supply you with a certificate of appreciation for your generosity, which you can display at your business or home, if you wish. Your donation, no matter what size, is much appreciated and helps our entire Monroe County community at large. For now though, thank you for seriously considering our much needed request.
Small Contributions Make a Big Difference
How you can help Our Homeless Cat Shelter
Friends of Companion Animals is more than just a cat shelter in Monroe. It’s an all-volunteer organization that is passionate about helping companion animals. If you would like to help us reach our goals, there are many different ways you can help. Sometimes it’s monetary and at others it’s a few hours of your time each week. Check out a few of the options below, along with our list of most needed physical items. Plus, first time Chewy customers can use the link below and our organization gets $20 with no cost to you!
Friends of Companion Animals can be your smile.amazon.com charity! So ‘How do I select a charitable organization to support when shopping on AmazonSmile’ you ask? On your first visit to AmazonSmile at smile.amazon.com, you need to select a charitable organization to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. Amazon will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation to us! Just make sure you log in at smile.amazon.com every time you order. It’s that simple!
Want to help us without doing anything you’re not already doing? If you shop at Kroger use code XG782 (for MI members) or KW154 (for OH members) to link your rewards card to our organization. You can learn how by going HERE.

Four Ways to Help our Homeless Kitten & Cat Shelter
Volunteering
Volunteers assist with cleaning, feeding, and socializing cats and kittens, as well as provide assistance with store operations. Although Friends of Companion Animal’s Resale Shop is only open Thursday-Saturday, there’s plenty to do all week long, so volunteers can pick the hours that work best for them. You can download an application here: FoCA Volunteer Application.
Fostering
We need foster homes for orphan kittens, cats with kittens, and adult cats needing short -term medical treatment. This is an excellent opportunity for those who would like to have pets without the long-term commitment.
Adopt
We have many adult cats as well as kittens seeking forever homes. Adopting an adult cat enables you to choose the personality that best suits your lifestyle while adopting a kitten provides years (and perhaps decades) of love.
Re-homing
Re-homing is as easy as providing shelter, food and water to a feral cat who will in turn provide years of cost-effective rodent control.
