I don't think they use monofilament anymore. The site FelineFanatic suggested rated the Coats brand highly. Joann's had it. It's polyester. I use polyester thread all the time.
We'll see how well it works. I'll let you know. Of course, I won't know how it washes, as it will be donated, but polyester usually washes well.

edit: Yes, according to the dictionary definition, polyester thread is a monofilament thread. Any synthetic single strand material is monofilament (one strand).
