When you come to Yogie and Friends Exotic Cat Sanctuary™ please remember that you are visiting the home of animals that have come from neglected or abused homes. They are here to feel safe, loved, and wanted. These are not circus performers or showbiz animals and they are not here to entertain us. Because many of these animals are very sensitive we want to respect their home and their dignity. Our staff will and does all that is necessary to ensure our cats have a stress free life and environment. We will escort any visitor from the premises who does not respect the dignity of these wonderful animals or attempts to cause them any harm or undue stress. Safety of the animals is first and foremost for us. We appreciate your cooperation.
