August 2023 Newsletter
Welcome Yogie Fans!
We are fortunate with Yogie and Friends that, other than no power, there was no damage to the property and all humans and animals are well.
FOOD AND LITTER:
Our biggest issues now remain food and litter. We have no idea what the issue is with the canned cat food we buy. We try to keep our cats on canned pate’ because our vets say it is better than shreds and gravy that cats tend to just lick the juices, and they are higher in carbs. Currently, we feel that food is food, and they must eat. Also, our vets tell us to never use grain free food because of the heart problems arising in animals being fed a grain free diet.
We typically get our Friskies canned pate’ at Sam’s Club because the box of sixty cans was the best price. They have not had this available at the clubs here for more than two months.
If our fans would like to help us with cat food and litter, we have provided our links below.
These are our current wish lists. Food and litter are always a top priority.

Cash donations are even more important for us. Or you can donate using one of the following methods:
PayPal: yogieandfriends@hotmail.com
Venmo: YogieCats
And as always, you can mail a check or money order to: Yogie and Friends, 128 Fob Lane, Frierson, LA 71027.
KROGER COMMUNITY REWARDS: Attention Kroger Shoppers. Please consider helping our cats when you shop at Kroger. Our Kroger Community Rewards number is GD567, and you can find us by our name as well, Yogie and Friends FIV Positive Cat Sanctuary. When you log into your Kroger account you can select us as your charity of choice and a portion of your purchase will be donated to our rescue sanctuary. This is one of the easiest ways to help us financially when you go grocery shopping. It takes nothing out of your pockets either. How cool is that?
SPONSORSHIP: We often speak of our sponsorship program and right now we are really trying hard to get all our cats sponsored. Sponsorship is a wonderful way to help support our cats. By sponsoring one of our Yogie cats, you will be providing food, limited medical care (we know that medical bills can get extremely high and do not expect a sponsor to cover it. Unless they can, and want to), and their basic care and support. 100% of the sponsorship goes to the care of these animals. If each cat had a regular, monthly, sponsor, it would help ease the financial burden of care for the animals we provide sanctuary for.
Please note that more than one person may sponsor a cat but rest assured that all sponsored funds are used for the ongoing care of our cats.
You can sponsor a cat for just $15 a month, $45 a quarter, or $180 a year. You can always contribute more. It all helps a great deal.
If you choose to sponsor a cat via PayPal or Venmo, please let us know the name of the cat you would like to sponsor.
WE CURRENTLY CARE FOR 63 CATS, as well as several feral cats we care for:
