Great place for pet owners to shop, be it treats for their fur babies or general swag for themselves! Staff is incredibly friendly, the cats are sweet as pie and there's so much cool stuff you can get here. Real appealing setup! Support your local small businesses, it helps a lot!

I can't say enough great things about FCN! Between their mission to rehab and give cats a second chance to find their forever homes to all of the great things in the gift shop. You can't go wrong visiting whether you're looking for a new kitty to join your family or looking to spoil your current one (or yourself) with all of the items in the gift shop! I mean who doesn't like to shop while surrounded by cute kitties?! I added a picture of my own fur baby with some of her favorite gift shop items.

Love this place! I have a lot of items I purchased from the gift shop. A blanket, t-shirt, cat toys. I even bought a memorial statue for my mom when her cat passed away. They do so much to help cats. Michelle and her staff are all caring and dedicated to all the cats in their care. Please go visit and maybe you will find a great feline companion to take home.

Feline Community Network, really helps all cats and really care.Right now they are in desperate help.For adopters, volunteers, and food and litter.They are located right past the Fastenal warehouse. Turn in as if ur going to the Fastenal factory on the service road and go past Fastenal and the feline community Network is right behind Fastenal.Most of the cats at shelters are put down, partly because of overcrowding, or just because the cat is older.Some of the cats are sick, to where their illness can be treated.Feline Community Network helps these cats find wonderful loving homes.I had a senior cat Sophie (in photo), that had early kidney disease. It was treated with special kidney food and sub-q fluids.Please can we all come together as a community and help this wonderful organization. If you can't adopt, if you can please share. They are also in need of cat food, litter, and if anyone loves animals, they are always looking for volunteers.

I've never been to a cleaner and more ethically run shelter for cats. This place is where your money and time should be going if your looking to donate. Usually around 100 cats, plus some very sick ones in the back that are quarantined and being cared for by the vet. They have some that are permanent guests due age or infirmity. The kitties are in larger enclosures with friends so they have stimulus and play well with others. This place doesn't smell and isn't depressing the people that work here love these kitties and you can tell. You won't be going home with a sick, mistreated, or a kitty with behavior issues. I know a lot of people want a kitten but the two fluffy beauties I rescued from here are the sweetest little creatures I've ever encountered. Give them a look, they have a great gift shop attached to their rescue that helps fund their rescue efforts!

Loved all their cat themed merchandise.I also decided to adopt a cat. Great process. Really try to match you with the right cat based on your situation (other cats personalities). Facility kept up well and you could really tell they LOVE what they do.

Sweet people working here, they truly love cats. They have the cutest merch in this shop with darling kitties willing to show you around. And don’t forget to go to the cat room and say hello to all of the sanctuary cats and adoptable cats!

We have adopted 2 cats from FCN—one in 2016 and one in 2018. We have also attended their annual gala every year and support their mission with financial donations whenever we can. This rescue really loves every creature they save and they go above and beyond to care for every rescue. Their move to a larger space has allowed them to care for even more animals and set up a boutique that offers amazing specialty items for animal lovers! I’m grateful that every animal is spayed or neutered before being adopted and that they do not allow declawing. Our Willow and Marley would not be with us without this special rescue and we are forever grateful for them. I highly recommend FCN to anyone looking to adopt a cat!

This place is fantastic! Super cute merch, great food items and you get to pet cats! If you are looking for a unique gift for a cat lover in your life, a new toy for your own furry friend or just want to meet some great people and cats, I highly suggest stopping by.

What a wonderful and loving place! Visited and saw 2 volunteers feeding the cats. The cats are well fed and cared for, lying in their cat beds or lazing in the sunshine. So glad that the kitties of our area have this Haven of Love and kindness on their side. Very impressed. ♡♡♡FCN had an incredible gift shop, incredible love for the care of the cats and love for the kitties & each other! I've volunteered here but am currently unable to (physical limitations) but still try to support as much as I can. The kitties here are well cared for and so so LOVED!!! I love FCN and all they do for the community.

Very clean establishment. Very healthy cats from what I see and special needs cats taken care of very well. There's a sanctuary permanent residence for specific cats with needs. You can enter into the cage area that is well furnished for the cats and mingle. The establishment is by Fastenal, have to drive along bridge side entrance to the rear. Have an application in for a cat but no guarantees as many people apply which is understandable. As for the staff they're polite but I'm not emottionally sensitive so maybe I'm a bad judge.Update. Not only got one cat but also his bunkie a short time later, I can't complain about these 2. Nice gentle cats and good demeanor. One's a snuggler the other is still shy even after a year but that's alright. No marking so that works out even better.

Awesome place , great gift shop. Many sweet kitties to adopt. Please stop in. You will love it as much as I do! A little hard to find. Look for the sign on the south side of the street.

A great place for the cat lover!!!!!! I went there to pick up a gift for my sister and was really blown away with the place. This is a small boutique with every cat-themed gift you could think of! All sorts of unique shirts... frames... they had it all. AND as an added bonus there were maybe 6 cats wandering around the showroom that you could pet and love on! The lady that helped my wife and I was really nice and helped us get the gifts we needed. If you love cats or even mildly like them this place is worth checking out!

We recently adopted our cat from FCN. All I can say is what a wonderful experience! The people that work and volunteer their time there are so caring and compassionate. The facility is spotless. The minute you walk in to see the cats, it’s evident that the care they give the cats is phenomenal. I definitely recommend going here if you are looking to adopt a cat. ❤️

We got our babies from here! They are a bonded pair. Their names are lilo and stitch and we love them so much. They have brighten up our day since we brought them home. The workers were very nice and helpful on showing us all the cats they had to offer. They treat their cats so much better than any other shelter I have seen! They truly love the animals.

I love FCN! The ladies who run it and the volunteers all go way above and beyond for the cats and community. My mom adopted both of her cats from there and they're both wonderful. PLEASE donate and adopt from them if you can! They also have a great gift shop and the proceeds from that go toward care for the kitties <3

This place is so wonderful for cats. I’m so glad we found this organization to adopt our sweet kitty from. They take extremely good care of the cats there. The owner and staff are very kind people who truly put their heart into their work and it shows here. Please if you are wanting to adopt a cat, adopt from FCN! They will help you make the best decision when you adopt. I continue to donate to them because of their work in this community.

Such an amazing place! We got our cat Nacho from there last October. He was very sick, malnourished and suffering from a broken leg. The owner Michelle and her team rescued Nacho from the streets, gave him treatment and love, and we took him home shortly thereafter as a foster to adopt. Michelle is seriously dedicated to the wellbeing of all the cats and does everything she can to help every cat in need. The shelter itself is clean, and the cats have amazing spaces full of cat towers, soft blankets and toys, and nutritious food to live until their forever home comes for them! They get to know each cats personality, and remember each cat and adopter long after they’ve gone home. I definitely recommend this place to adopt from and take an amazing cat home with you.

Feline Community Network is AWESOME!We adopted the 2 best cats in the world from them! (Not that I’m partial or anything!)

These people really do care about the cats. You can tell because the place is clean and the cats all seem to be under very little stress considering their circumstances. If you’re interested in adopting they ask a lot of question which is good because it shows they want to make sure the cats are only going to good homes for people who will genuinely care for the cat. They could always use volunteers and donations because they’re always taking in more cats than they can handle. These people really do care and are so important for these animals and for the community. Thank you for all your hard work FCN! We see all of the hard work you guys put it day in and day out. You’re wonderful people!

This organization is doing amazing work. I volunteered here for my schooling and they were all so hard working and helpful. I will be going back to volunteer once I can spare some time!

I will forever be an FCN supporter and adopter! I volunteered for them while I was living in town and it was such a pleasure to see the “behind the scenes” on how well these kitties are taken care of. The facility doesn’t smell at all when walking in, cats are clearly happy and in large, inviting spaces, the employees are very pleasant, and it’s clear that these kitties are loved by them endlessly! I have 2 FCN kitties and they are my pride and joy. I can’t wait to adopt more!

This place is unlike any other animal shelter i’ve ever been to. Usually when i see animals in the shelter or a pet store it makes me so sad to see them cramped up and isolated. This place brings all the cats together and lets the cats show their personalities. I love that they get to know each cat to match you to your perfect. This amazing group of people really guide you through the adoption process and help you along the way with your fur baby. The application has a lot of questions but i really liked that because it shows they want you to adopt a cat forever and not just dump it later on. The shelter is clean and the cats have so many toys and beds to lay in. I adopted my boy Bubba from there and we’re a perfect match. I’m so thankful i found him. Michelle and her team truly do great work!

Great people, very passionate about helping cats. We really appreciate the great care they gave our boy before we found him!

We visited during an open house. While we didn't end up adopting one of their beautiful cats we got to visit with kitties to see how they did with my 13 yr old daughter. The ladies who were there were very knowledgeable and friendly. For being a cat rescue full of litterboxes it didn't smell like a lot of places would. Very clean. If you are looking for a cat (or 2) please check this place out!!
