With so many kittens coming to KC Pet Project this summer, we thought we'd share some fun facts about our Kitten Foster Program:
🐱Our Feline Foster Coordinator sent 628 kittens and cats into foster homes in June and 616 in July. That's 1,244 cats and kittens saved thanks to foster families in two months! 🐱 Over 130 families currently have foster kitties living in their homes.
🐱We're supplying over 500 cases of canned cat food to our foster families a month. 🐱We have kittens looking for homes today at KC Pet Project!
This is why fostering is so important and why your donations matter. We couldn't save lives in our community without them and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your help and support. 🐱

Even though it's our mission to find permanent homes for the pets in our shelter, our Dog Day Out program allows kennel-stressed dogs a break while they wait for adoption.
This week, 5 dogs in need of a little extra TLC enjoyed some sun, peaceful naps, and beneficial stimulation.

This tiny ball of fluff needs your help today. Fum came to us when he was only a few weeks old with his siblings (Fee, Fi and Fo) who have all been adopted to new families. Fum, who is now almost 6 months old, has a severe heart murmur and must have surgery to save his life. The good news is that we have a veterinarian who will perform this lifesaving surgery. The hard part is that it will cost $5,000 for it, but we know that this little guy is worth saving.
To know Fum is to love him. He's the happiest and cutest little guy, and we would love for him to have this lifesaving surgery to go on to live a healthy life with a new family. If you would like to help, a donation to the link on our bio can be made and will go toward his surgery. We thank you for your support of Fum!

We want to give a heartfelt thank you on International Cat Day to our partners at Heritage Animal Hospital and @greatplainsspca who this week, helped spay and neuter 43 cats and kittens from our shelter. This summer has been hard for is due to high intakes and it can be difficult to keep up with surgeries due to the volume of pets we have and our limited resources. These two organizations stepped up to help and Great Plains SPCA even took 8 of our kittens into their program for adoption. Thank you to both of them for helping our kitties get ready for adoption so they can go to new homes.

She's very good in the car, loves sniffing around in the yard, playing with and chasing stuffed toys, and being near her humans! She's a very quiet girl and had no accidents at my house. What a little love!” - Megan, a KCPP Volunteer

ADOPTION SPECIAL THIS WEEKEND!
Due to continued increases in intakes, we are once again at capacity, so we are throwing a last-minute adoption special to help our pets find new homes and make space in our shelter.
Our Summer Frenzy Adoption Special will start tomorrow, Friday, August 2nd and end Sunday, August 4th at our main shelter and Petco adoption centers. We’ll be offering $30 adult dogs adoptions and $15 adult cats.
Our Zona Rosa Adoption Center is still under construction and we hope to have animals moved it sometime during the weekend. An announcement will be made on our social media pages if this location will be open for adoptions during the special.

KC Pet Project saw 1,150 new pets come through our doors during the month of July, so we have hundreds of pets who are hopeful that they’ll find families this weekend. You can see them all at www.kcpetproject.org or download our free mobile app today!

Cortez just needs a home where he can finally settle his old soul. If you don’t like to do social? Neither does Cortez, he would prefer to give all his lovings to his special person. He needs a loving/patient, adult-zone only, low traffic, single pet home. Come meet Cortez.... email fostering@kcmo.org

Our new Zona Rosa Adoption Center is still under construction and we can’t wait for you to see the final results. We had hoped to open today for adoptions but it will be a few more days until we are up and running at 8721 N. Stoddard Ave. We thank you for your patience. In the meantime, check out our other locations where you can adopt sweet kittens like Larry at the Petco store in Olathe.

Didgeridoo was a huge help today during our big @zonarosakc move. We’re continuing construction work and moving everything in tomorrow on our new location (Zona 2.0 as we’ve lovingly nicknamed it). We won’t be able to have animals in the new space for a few more days and we will make an announcement on our pages when we’re open again for adoptions. So stay tuned and we can’t wait for you all to see it!

Talbot and Loverboy are just two of the many KC Pet Project foster felines we currently have. They are so close to being ready for a forever family. Talbot (first photo) is a kitten who’s belly begs to be rubbed and he loves chasing wand toys. Loverboy (second photo) has a name that matches his personality. He is quick to purr and is currently healing at his foster home after losing his back leg. Being a tripod doesn’t slow him down though, he will play and give love all day long! Visit kcpetproject.org and watch when these two become available.
