KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – A metro area nonprofit is changing its focus in hopes of preventing pet overpopulation.
The Kansas City Pet Resource Center describes itself as a nonprofit organization that works to provide affordable health care to pet owners in the Kansas City area.
Starting Oct. 8, the organization said it is shifting its focus to make spay and neuter services a top priority.
The situation is dire. Shelters across Kansas City are full and pets are being turned away due to lack of space. The only long-term solution to this growing crisis is to prevent unwanted waste from occurring at its source. Our renewed focus on spay and neuter services is directly aimed at easing this burden and ensuring fewer animals are abandoned or face overcrowded shelters.
The organization said it will continue to provide its services as affordably as possible.

We are also working with KCK Animal Services to launch a mobile spay/neuter service.
“Local shelters are operating at maximum capacity and without intervention this strain will only worsen. We are addressing the root of the problem by focusing on spaying and neutering.” “Reducing litter sizes means fewer animals entering shelters, freeing up resources for those who need it most,” said the Kansas City Pet Resource Center.

In addition to mobile services, the center said it has expanded capacity and installed new kennels to meet demand. We have also hired additional staff to support our services.
