Yogie and Friends is an animal sanctuary in Frierson, Louisiana (a suburb of Shreveport) devoted to providing a permanent home and long-term medical care for abused, neglected, and unwanted large, exotic cats. The sanctuary is funded by private donations.

Yogie and friends was founded in December 1999 by Timothy J. Mills and the late Bill Strunk and incorporated as Yogie and Friends Exotic Cat Sanctuary in 2000.

Yogie and Friends currently houses 15 big cats, including lions, tigers, servals, a black leopard, a cougar and a bobcat. Three lions, Leo, Snagglepuss, and Snaggletooth were rescued from living in a garage in Texas for 17 years. On February of 27th 2006, Moses the lion was born to BooBoo due to a failed vasectomy. Both lionesses were spayed to prevent further unexpected births.
