In 2004, Friends of Gonzales Animal Shelter (FOGAS) incorporated as a non-profit, charitable organization with two primary goals.  To promote the spaying and neutering of pets in Gonzales County, and to promote adoption of animals from the Gonzales Animal Shelters.  In 2004, the Cat Adoption Center was opened. It houses the cats and kittens and is located at 505 St. Francis in central Gonzales.
