At Spay & Neuter Kansas City, our mission is to promote responsible pet ownership, strengthen our community and to improve the pet’s quality of life through education by targeting our program to pet owners truly in need. We do this through;

• Affordable spay neuter
• Wellness care; vaccinations, preventative veterinary care
• Pet outreach; basic pet supplies, dog/cat food and education on animal care

SNKC has long been at the forefront of targeted spay/neuter efforts in the Kansas City area. We are the only targeted spay and neuter program in Kansas City using a geographic information system to zero in on several neighborhoods with a disproportionally higher number of animal control calls. We provide low or no cost spay neuter procedures to these pet owners. Supporting and encouraging long term care for these pets in our community preserves the investment of the several hundred thousand dollars we spend annually on subsidized surgeries for low income pet owners.

Our efforts and continued support of the community has led to measurable success including lowering shelter intake as much as 35% over a 4 year period and decreasing animal control calls to the city of Kansas City, Missouri by 30%. Lowering shelter intake increases the chances of finding new homes for the unwanted or homeless pets in our area shelters.

SNKC has received a generous $5,000 grant from the ASPCA to promote basic veterinary care. This grant will allow SNKC to vaccinate 1,000 dogs or cats for qualifying pet owners. The vaccinations that will be covered are DA2PP and Rabies(dogs) or FVRCP and Rabies (cats) (Bordetella is not included)

This program is for:

• Pet owners who cannot afford to provide basic vaccinations for their pet.
• Reside in one of our targeted zip codes – or have legitimate need.
• Have never previously vaccinated their pets

Vaccinations can be provided for pet owners at the time of surgery (if you have an unaltered pet) or during our walk-in wellness clinics but all pet owners must qualify through our regular screening process and be issued a SNKC Operation Vaccination Voucher. Call 816-353-0940.

In conjunction with the new KCMO Pet Licensing Campaign, we strongly encourage pet owners to license their pets along with this special program.

Please note: If you have an unaltered pet and do not wish to spay or neuter, you may still qualify for the vaccination assistance program however will be charged a $20 surcharge and must purchase a pet license. You will have 30 days if you change your mind and wish to have your pet spayed or neutered and then may use that $20 towards the spay neuter or any other services at our clinic.

Licensing your pet increases the chance that you will be reunited with your pet in the unfortunate event he or she is lost. Kansas City Missouri has recently launched their new pet licensing “Free Ride Home” program. Licensing a pet in Kansas City, Missouri is only $10
(many locations charge a $2 administrative fee) and has many benefits including:

• Licensed lost or stray pets will be taken home instead of to the shelter – Free Ride Home!
• One time per year- no ticket for running at large
• No shelter fees if the owner is home when the pet is returned, half fees if the owner cannot be located and later reclaims from the shelter.
• Amnesty on $25 late fees until May 1, 2012

Pick up your pet license at SNKC for only $12 at our walk-in clinics or for more locations and information visit www.petdata.com or call 816-513-1313.

SNKC Recognized by ASPCA as Outstanding Response Partner

ASPCA Gives Thanks to Response Partners for Helping Animals Victims of Cruelty and Disasters. Eight animal welfare groups recognized with $10,000 grants for going above and beyond to save animals.

NEW YORK—The ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) today announced it will provide eight animal welfare groups each with a $10,000 grant to recognize their efforts for going above and beyond to save animal victims of cruelty or natural disasters this year.

Each group is part of the ASPCA’s Response Partner Program, a network of animal welfare organizations from across the country that assists the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response team by providing qualified personnel and services to respond to cruelty investigations and natural disasters. The network also helps the ASPCA’s field operations by taking in animals and placing them into permanent homes.

Among the 173 animal welfare and rescue groups in ASPCA’s Response Partnership network, the following groups have been recognized for their outstanding efforts in 2011:

• Columbia-Greene Humane Society in Hudson, N.Y.;
• Dumb Friends League in Denver, Colo.;
• St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison, N.J.;
• Washington Animal Rescue League in Washington, D.C.;
• Spay and Neuter Kansas City in Kansas City, Mo.;
• Wayside Waifs in Kansas City, Mo.;
• Charleston Animal Society in North Charleston, S.C.; and
• Humane Society of Broward County in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

“The ASPCA wanted to thank those agencies that helped us make it possible to do our life-saving work, especially in communities that were affected by devastating disasters this year,” said Jessica Rushin, partnerships manager for the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response team. “We work collaboratively with numerous agencies on cruelty cases and disaster response operations, and these agencies have stepped up to the plate and done an exceptional job by dedicating resources, time and personnel to help us in the field. We are grateful for their assistance and look forward to saving countless more animals in the New Year.”

Each of the grant recipients were selected based on the following criteria: taking in a significant number of animals from cruelty cases and disasters and placed into permanent homes; deploying multiple response teams to assist the ASPCA with operations in the field; and providing spay/neuter services and personnel to assist disaster and cruelty victims. All of these agencies have made immense contributions to the ASPCA’s disaster relief efforts this year, including the catastrophic tornadoes in Joplin, Mo. and Tuscaloosa, Ala., and severe flooding in Memphis, Tenn., Caruthersville, Mo., and Binghamton, N.Y.

In addition to this year’s devastating disasters, the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response team has responded to major events like Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008 and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. The ASPCA is commonly called upon by state and municipal governments and other animal welfare agencies to lend expertise during large-scale animal rescue operations. This year alone, the ASPCA has assisted more than 20,000 animals in communities throughout the U.S. that were devastated by tornadoes, flooding and storms.
