Friends of Companion

Friends of Companion (FOC) is a dedicated (IRS 501(c)(3) approval expected spring 2026) nonprofit created to support the animals and communities we serve. While CACC is an LLC contracted by cities, Friends of Companion fills the critical gaps where municipal funding cannot.

Mission Statement: Friends of Companion is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of animals by providing basic care support to pet owners and funding urgent veterinary services for unowned or abandoned animals.

FOC strengthens community animal welfare through two core programs:

Support for Pet Owners Experiencing Hardship

  • Pet food

  • Collars and microchip ID

  • Core vaccines

  • Basic grooming

  • Temporary care resources

These supports help keep pets with the families who love them and prevent unnecessary animal relinquishment.

Urgent Veterinary Funding for Impounded Animals
When stray, abandoned, or unowned animals arrive critically injured or sick, FOC provides financial support for:

  • Emergency stabilization

  • Diagnostics

  • Pain management

  • Surgical intervention

  • Short-term medical care

This ensures every animal entering CACC has access to the care they need, regardless of circumstance.

Why Donations Matter

CACC’s municipal contracts cover basic impound operations, but they do not fund medical emergencies or extended care.

That is where Friends of Companion steps in. Your donation directly supports:

  • Emergency veterinary treatment

  • Medical stabilization for cruelty and neglect cases

  • Lifesaving care for hit-by-car animals

  • Supplies for pets whose families are struggling

  • Enrichment and comfort items for impounded animals

  • Specialized care that cities are not mandated to provide

Together with our municipal partners, rescue organizations, donors, and community, we work every day to ensure animals have safety, comfort, and a path forward.

If you would like to support emergency veterinary care or help a pet stay with its family, please consider donating to Friends of Companion.

Note: The 501(c)(3) filing with the IRS for FOC was completed mid-2025 by the law office of Legal For Good, IRS 501(c)(3) approval is expected spring 2026.
