About Spay & Neuter Kansas City

Spay and Neuter Kansas City (SNKC) is a 501c3 organization, formed in 2002 with a primary goal of promoting affordable spay and neuter services to help decrease pet overpopulation in the Kansas City area. Our program targets areas of the city that receive a higher number of animal control calls. Our primary focus is reducing the surplus of pets that are at highest risk of contributing to pet overpopulation and service those pet owners who cannot otherwise afford such services.

Mission Statement

To promote spaying and neutering as a primary means of decreasing pet overpopulation.

• Provide affordable spay neuter services for pet owners who cannot otherwise afford to spay or neuter their pet.
• Target problem areas of our community and focus on those animals at highest risk of contributing to pet overpopulation.
• Promote responsible pet ownership in our target areas through education and provision of temporary resources to improve the pet’s quality of life.
• Work with other organizations to help create a better community that will ultimately improve and save the lives of more cats and dogs.
• Promote adoptions at local shelters.

Through our spay and neuter program we will:

Reduce the number of unwanted and stray animals entering our shelters and help other homeless pets improve their chance at a new and loving home.
