Torie Guilliot Roberts

Founder / CEO

Every shelter animal has a story waiting to be heard, a heart waiting to be loved. At Because Of Brucey, we’re not just rescuing — we’re rebuilding hope, one furry friend at a time.

Torie Guilliot Roberts is a lifelong resident of Youngsville, Louisiana. I am proud to carry my family’s legacy of working with animals and making a positive impact in our community. 

As the Founder and CEO of Because Of Brucey, a 501(c)(3) animal rescue, I lead our dedicated team in our mission to save and nurture the most vulnerable animals - particularly neonatal kittens. 

Our organization's name honors a special kitten whose story ignited our collective determination to improve animal welfare.

About Us

Because Of Brucey is a dedicated 501c3 animal rescue organization based in Youngsville, Louisiana. Our primary focus is on rescuing and rehabilitating neonatal kittens, but we advocate for all animals in need. Founded with the belief that every animal deserves compassionate care and a loving forever home. We strive to create a lasting impact on animal welfare locally and globally through rescue, education, and community involvement.

I'm passionate about leveraging my expertise in nonprofit management and animal welfare to drive our organization forward. Whether implementing strategic outreach programs or enhancing our operational efficiency, my focus remains on amplifying our impact and giving these tiny fighters a chance at a full and happy life.

Together, we can create a world where every animal, no matter how small, has a chance to thrive.
