KC Pet Project Community Engagement and Outreach

🐮💚 Supporting Our Farm Sanctuary Friends! 💚🐷

We often receive livestock feed donations that we aren’t able to use ourselves, so we make it a priority to share them with members of our community who can. Recently, we were thrilled to pass along some of that feed to Shy 38 Inc. Kansas Farm Sanctuary, doing incredible work for rescued farm animals.

Shy 38 is currently running a fundraiser called “Bring Barney’s Story to Life”—a book centered around a beloved rescue named Barney. The book will help share his story and support Shy 38’s dream of moving to a permanent piece of land where even more animals can be safe and loved.

We’re grateful for the chance to support partners like them who are making a difference every day. 🐾

Support Barney’s book and help move Shy 38 to permanent land for rescue and education.

Our supply of spare litter has officially run out, but we’re grateful we could help several rescue organizations in the process. Collaboration is at the heart of animal welfare, and we’re proud to stand alongside so many dedicated groups serving pets in need. 💛🐾

**UPDATE** - All of the available litter has been accounted for.

🚨 Calling all rescues, shelters, and cat-loving partners! 🚨

We just received a large shipment of World’s Best Cat Litter — way more than we can store. Since our space is limited, we need to move these pallets ASAP.

If your organization could use a pallet, send us a message right away. First come, first served

We want people to be aware that we were recently notified of a scam targeting pet owners by phone and payment apps pretending to be KC Pet Project. Impersonators may call and ask for money to help with emergency veterinary care — especially for pets that have been posted in lost & found groups or on social media.

This is NOT KC Pet Project if someone asks you to:

Send money via Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, or gift cards
Prepay for any procedure or service
Provide payment immediately over by phone, text, or email
Treat a request for funds as “urgent” or “confidential”

KC Pet Project will never request personal payments in these ways, and only collects fees on site at the time of reclaim.

If you or someone you know receives a call, text, or message like this:

Do not send money
Hang up
Report it to us at [email protected]

You can also verify a legitimate call or request from KC Pet Project by contacting a phone number listed on our website (rather than calling back the number that contacted you).

Thank you for helping keep our community — and our pets — safe.

Did you know that when our shelter receives donations we can’t use—or simply have more than we need—they don’t go to waste? Thanks to our amazing Community Engagement team, those items get passed directly into the hands of other local organizations doing incredible work.

Most recently, we were gifted several cozy blankets, and we were thrilled to share them with our friends at Street Support KC. They provide direct monthly outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness across Kansas City, and these blankets will go right back into our community where they’re needed most.

Your donations make a bigger impact than you may realize.
