Kansas City Pet Project

KC Pet Project is a 501c3, nonprofit charitable organization operating the Kansas City, Missouri Animal Shelter. We care for more than 10,000 animals a year and work collaboratively with Animal Control and other animal welfare organizations to increase the number of homeless pets adopted, and focus on lifesaving programs promoting pet retention, identification, lost pet reunions, and pet ownership education throughout the community. The KC Pet Project is creating a No Kill Kansas City – we’re passionate about lifesaving! Our mission is to end the killing of healthy and treatable pets in Kansas City, Missouri by using the most progressive and lifesaving programs and promoting effective animal control policies.

KC Pet Project cares for over 10,500 pets a year, so we rely heavily on adoptions to support our lifesaving mission. All three KC Pet Project locations are open 7 days a week for adoptions. If a pet comes to the shelter as a stray, we hold them for a 5-day period to give an owner a chance to reclaim them. Once that period is up, they are put up for adoption or eligible for foster or rescue. We work very hard to return pets back with their owners that come to us as strays and have a great rescue network all over the country to transfer pets from our program to their programs. We have an open adoption policy and allow same-day adoptions. Dog adoptions range from $50-$300 and cat adoptions range from $25-$50. We offer adoption specials on a regular basis.
