Thalia: The Start of Everything
Thalia Barn Cat started because one cat’s disappearance opened Laura’s eyes to how many lost, sick, and lonely cats live unnoticed. Thalia was more than a pet — she was a companion and a spark that led Laura to rescue, foster, and advocate. When Thalia went missing, Laura began searching, connecting with neighbors, and hearing countless stories of other barn and feral cats in need. That search grew into a mission: to trap, vet, neuter, and place cats where they’re safe, and to educate the community about caring for outdoor cats.
Today Thalia Barn Cat Rescue honors Thalia’s memory by keeping vulnerable cats healthy and giving them a chance at a better life. Every rescue, foster, and spay/neuter makes a difference — and every donation, share, or offer to help keeps Thalia’s spirit alive.
