KCPP continues to serve the Kansas City animals even with inadequate space in an outdated shelter. The sheer number of animals coming through the doors as strays, abused, injured or lost are ensured the top Vet care and trained caring Staff.
I continue to be amazed at their No kill status and am forever grateful for our beloved senior Lab mix , Maggie May, who rescued us , from Kansas City Pet Project.
