Friends of Cats, Inc. is a no-kill shelter for cats located in El Cajon, California, and is incorporated as a tax exempt, non-profit organization under IRS rule 501(c)(3) (Tax ID 95-6111755).

We do not euthanize, except as a matter of compassion if a cat is terminally ill or suffering. From kittens to older resident cats living out their lives, as well as an ever changing population of adoptable cats, the shelter houses over 270 cats at any given time. Friends of Cats, Inc. receives no public support operating solely through memberships, donations, revenue from adoptions and relinquishments, grants, and legacies.
