KC Pet Project

KC Pet Project (KCPP) is a 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization operating the Kansas City, Missouri, Animal Shelter.

Its mission is to create a compassionate, safe community for pets and people through progressive lifesaving programs and services, community resources, and educational opportunities.

The purpose of the organization is to provide sheltering and animal services to the community of Kansas City, MO, by placing pets into homes with families, enhancing public safety through animal control services, being a resource to people and pets in our community, reuniting lost pets with their owners, establishing pet retention programs, providing humane education opportunities, and enriching the lives of pets and people in Kansas City to build up and support a more safe and humane Kansas City.

KCPP cares for more than 15,000 animals a year and has 14 locations in Missouri and Kansas to adopt pets. They focus on progressive programs to help people keep their pets through Lost and Found services, its Keep ‘Em Together KC program, and pet safety initiatives like microchipping, pet identification, and more.

With leadership from Teresa Johnson as CEO/Executive Director and her team, KCPP became a no-kill animal shelter within six months and quickly became one of the largest open admission, no-kill animal shelters in the United States – now saving a record-setting 95.7%.

In January 2022, KCPP celebrated its 10th anniversary as an organization.
