Spay & Neuter Kansas City is spaying and neutering for love! Posted at 9:29 PM May 6, 2008 view more
Pet overpopulation is a community problem that costs taxpayers hundreds of thousand of dollars each year, puts overwhelming burdens on area shelters and creates health and safety problems for neighborhoods. It is estimated nearly 15,000 to 20,000 cats and dogs are euthanized (killed) in our area shelters throughout the Greater Kansas City area. A tragic but preventable problem. Our area shelters work extremely hard to find their shelter pets new homes but more animals continue to enter the
back doors of shelters then those that go out the front door, there are simply not enough homes for them all.
Adoption alone, while important, simply cannot solve the problem. The number of animals entering the shelters (intake) must be reduced. Spaying and neutering the animals most likely to contribute to pet overpopulation is essential to reducing intake, euthanasia and other animal control costs.
Those high-risk animals include:
•
Litters of kittens and mixed breed pups and their
mothers, • Non-neutered pets (who are
more likely to roam and be aggressive than neutered pets), • Unlicensed and unvaccinated
pets, and • Pets of lower income residents
•
Providing our services only for pet owners who demonstrate financial
need, • Not turning away any pet owners because of their
inability to pay, • Promoting responsible pet ownership through our
Outreach Program (We do not wait for pet owners to call us; we seek out the pets
at highest risk of contributing to pet overpopulation), • Using donor dollars for delivery of services to
the public, • Assisting abused and neglected animals in our
community.
Spay & Neuter Kansas City depends on the support of the community to continue our mission. Donating to SNKC will help spay and neuter more pets and allow us to continue our programs.
Pet Outreach Program
The SNKC Pet Outreach Program is a very important part of our
Organization. The Outreach Program is helping improve the lives of thousands of pets in our
community and is reaching those pets that might otherwise be forgotten. This is truly a life saving
program. For more information visit our website at www.snkc.net.
Volunteer! - SNKC is always in need of highly motivated volunteers to assist at our monthly clinics and we are actively seeking volunteers with creative marketing skills to help increase public awareness of this tragedy.
Donate! - Donating to spay and neuter just one pet potentially saves thousands of lives.
Spay & Neuter Kansas City spayed and neutered over 5,000 needy pets in our community in 2008. Thank you to all of our donors, volunteers, veterinarians, supporters and staff.

Our oceans are at a tipping point. We still have time to reverse the damage, but we must make changes now. We believe that a few dedicated people can help us make this difference. We have set a goal of rallying 6,000 friends by Friday. Please help us launch our efforts, by joining our friend list. We are currently at 5,400... so not far to go! Please help with step one! Join us and together we can DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Just got the invite for Sunday's winter donation drive and wanted to let you know I made a blog about it and also will be sending bulletins about it up to the event. Hope that helps and if you ever need help promoting something please let me know, educating people about spaying and neutering is my personal cause too! :) Andria Lea
We want to thank you so much for your friendship and support. I would like to share with you our latest rescue effort. We heisted her from a yard before her first fight. She was heavily chained with full body harness. They may have beaten her and had taken away her ears but they could not take away her beautiful spirit. Her name is Chyna. In spite of all she has has to endure, she is still such a love! Thanks so much again for your support. Many blessings to you for all you do!
On Saturday, October 25, I will participate in the PAWS Mutt Strut, which will bring 1,000 animal lovers and their pets together for a 1.5-mile walk through FDR Park. We will raise badly needed funds for PAWS’ lifesaving programs including adoption outreach, spay/neuter clinics, and low-cost vaccination services. We will also raise awareness of the harsh reality that thousands of healthy and treatable animals are killed in Philadelphia each year, simply because they do not have homes. The Mutt Strut will offer us a day of companionship and celebration, and will enable PAWS to give countless more animals the chance to experience that companionship and safety for themselves. Please give whatever you can, and consider joining me on October 25! Every "dollar" helps! WWW. FIRSTGIVING. COM/PAWSVOLUNTEER
