Welcome to Kat’s Kastle Foundation A home for healing, truth, connection.
For survivors seeking connection or simply a safe place to land, without judgment, fixing, or saving.
About Us
Our Mission
At Kat’s Kastle Foundation, we believe healing is a right—not a privilege.
We empower survivors of domestic violence by offering trauma-informed support, community connection, and sacred healing spaces.
This isn’t about saving anyone. It’s about walking beside them.
We help survivors turn pain into purpose and rise, defined not by what they’ve endured, but by who they’re becoming.
What We Offer
At Kat’s Kastle Foundation, we know that not every survivor is ready to speak — and that’s okay. Until they find their voice, we will stand beside them and speak truth out loud.
Every survivor deserves more than safety. They deserve connection, compassion, and community. That’s why Kat’s Kastle isn’t a shelter — it’s a sanctuary.
Founded by bestselling author and national speaker Kat Bartlett, Kat’s Kastle is a survivor-led space where healing begins with truth, conversation, and courage. We don’t “rescue” anyone. Instead, we sit beside survivors as they rebuild their lives on their own terms — with strength, dignity, and hope.
Our Vision
Our Vision
A world where every survivor feels safe, supported, and seen. At Kat’s Kastle Foundation, we don’t rescue, we stand beside you, offering strength, connection, and the courage to rebuild.
The Movement Begins 💜 October 17
Truth Out Loud 💜 October 17
You may remember it as I Got Out.
This is its next chapter — the same stories of strength, courage, and survival, now reborn under a new name that speaks to what healing truly is: truth, spoken out loud.
💜 In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Kat’s Kastle Foundation is gifting 100 free e-copies of Truth Out Loud to honor survivors everywhere — and in loving memory of Shana “Mini” Warner.
💜 Already got your copy? Leave a review on Amazon or share it with a survivor who needs hope. Every share helps amplify a voice that once felt silenced.
This isn’t just a re-release.
It’s a voice.
It’s a movement.
It’s Truth Out Loud.
🌿 FUNDRAISER IN PROGRESS: HELP BUILD THE OUTPOST 🌿
💜 A Healing Sanctuary for Survivors
The Outpost at Kat’s Kastle Foundation is more than a pen — it’s a place of peace, laughter, and healing. Here, survivors find calm and connection in the company of our goats and chickens.
Every donation helps us expand fencing, reinforce shelters, and provide seasonal supplies to keep this safe space thriving.
💜 $50 = Fence Panel
💜 $100 = Hay & Bedding
💜 $250 = Shelter Wall Support
Together, we’re not just building a barn.
We’re building healing.
💜 Healing has hooves — and hope grows here.
Every gift helps us strengthen The Outpost — a healing sanctuary for survivors with goats and chickens.
Your donation directly funds fencing, shelter, and supplies to keep this safe space thriving.
Thank you for helping us build hope.
TRUTH OUT LOUD: THE SURVIVOR SPEAK-EASY SERIES
A community outreach program of Kat’s Kastle Foundation
The Survivor Speak-Easy Series is a healing-centered, truth-telling experience where survivors take the mic and reclaim their voices—raw, real, and unfiltered.
Created by Kat Bartlett, founder of Kat’s Kastle, this series brings survivor-led storytelling into schools, shelters, and community spaces across Massachusetts and beyond.
These aren’t speeches. They’re sacred conversations—alive with truth, strength, grit, laughter, and healing.
✨ Survivors stand up and share their lived experience.
✨ Audiences witness the power of unfiltered storytelling.
✨ Communities connect through courage, honesty, and hope.
