Rhea Catada is a communications and advocacy professional who has spent much of her career working in and around crisis-affected places—listening first, observing closely, and trying to make sense of what remains after the headlines move on.

After her stint in journalism and public relations, she worked across humanitarian, climate justice, and gender justice spaces, often working alongside organisations to translate concepts usually confined to academic halls or policy debates into narratives that are grounded, human, and reflects lived realities. Her work is shaped by the tension between storytelling and responsibility, by what language can do, and what it can erase.

Alongside this, Rhea writes personally—through essays, fragments, and observation of the world around her. These pieces are not explanations or conclusions, but attempts to process thought and emotion through writing, and to stay attentive to people, power, and the small details that reveal larger truths.

Cat in Crisis brings these practices together. It is a space for work and writing, and for staying with questions that outlast the news cycle, paying attention to what remains after the noise fades.
