“Sometimes our lives are touched by gentle friends who stay for only awhile.” Hercio Dias

Lyndsey Powers, Rainbow Journey's founder and President, clearly remembers being 7 years old and telling her mother not to get too hopeful about the idea of grandchildren because she intended to devote her life to helping animals; approximately two weeks later she came home with her first stray.

Fast forward (many) years and many, many rescued strays later, she and her husband moved to Texas to take over management of the cat rescue her father had begun years earlier (yes, it runs in the family). She formalized the rescue into Rainbow Journey, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation, and along with her dedicated board of directors, envisioned a safe and loving end-of-life environment for the sick and elderly cats living in the feral colonies they cared for around Kerrville, TX.  That vision soon became a vital part of their mission.
 
Tragically, Lyndsey passed away after a short battle with cancer in 2022. Her husband Matt and other devoted cat lovers are continuing her mission.
