The Rescue Project

Founded in 2014, The Rescue Project is a non-profit 501c3 rescue. We are the only 100% volunteer-run and foster-based rescue in the Kansas City area that focuses on community outreach, a robust foster program, Trap Neuter Release (TNR) of feral cat communities, and offers community pet medical support to those in need. The Rescue Project is 100% volunteer run, 501c3 non-profit, Missouri state licensed, animal rescue dedicated to improving the lives of animals in and around Kansas City's most underserved communities. Our community outreach program focuses on building trusting relationships with people and their pets by providing essential items such as food, water, flea/tick prevention, tie outs, dog houses and financial medical assistance for animals in need. In addition, we are heavily focused on educating the importance of spay/neuter, vaccines and needs of animals to ensure responsible pet ownership. In addition we are also a fully operational foster based group with hundreds of foster homes in and around the Kansas City metro. ALL animals in our program reside in these foster homes as we do not have a shelter or physical location. We focus on providing the absolute best care with our vet partners as well as behavioral trainers so animals are ready for their forever home. We fully screen all applicants to ensure all pets adopted from TRP are getting their best possible chance at a wonderful home and future. Donations made to The Rescue Project go directly to support animals right here in our community. Our dedication to remaining completely volunteer operated and foster based ensures every dollar gets where it is needed the most
