January 2024 Newsletter
Happy New Year!
Another year has come and gone, and it seems like it has so quickly! We hope and pray you all had a safe, and wonderful holiday season.
There have been many changes made at the sanctuary, and many more to come. We have high hopes for an amazing 2025. Changes that we cannot wait to share with our fans.
THANK YOU: There are so many people we want to thank. Of course, you, our awesome fans, who donate and make helping these cats possible. We know we could not do it without you!
We also want to say a special thank you to our webmasters, Damon, and Paige Bass, for creating and maintaining our website. They have been doing this for us for years and we cannot thank them enough for this kindness. It is much appreciated.
YOGIE GOODBYES: As expected in rescue, loss is part of the work. It is never easy. Here is who we had to say goodbye to during 2024.
Snowball 7 October
Smudge 23 September
Angel 31 October

VET CARE:
We have a remaining balance of $1628.61 at the vet clinic. Bandit had to spend Christmas week at the clinic but is doing so much better now.
You can call the vet clinic directly at 318-747-5747 and donate over the phone.
Or you can PayPal at yogieandfriends@hotmail.com
Or Venmo at YogieCats
FOOD AND SUPPLIES: we desperately need help with food and litter. We have sixty-four mouths to feed. We need food and litter the most. We are down to one box of litter and one box of sixty count canned food.
PayPal and Venmo are the best, and quickest, way to help. Then we can immediately go buy the supplies.

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 part of your purchase will be donated to our rescue sanctuary.
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 64 CATS, as well as several feral cats we care for:
