We happened to come across a kitten we were interested in that was being fostered by the Friends of…read moreParkville Animal Shelter. We were initially a bit daunted by the pre-adoption application which has several open-ended questions to fill out; much more involved than any other shelter I'd adopted from. We applied on a Thursday and received an email Friday informing us our pre-adoption was approved. Since there was an adoption event on Saturday we were able to pick up our new furry friend the next day - meaning that from application to pick up was less than 48 hours. Our experience at the shelter, where the cats are housed in their own separate house on the grounds, was fantastic. The volunteers were insanely kind to our family and let us meet the animal, take photos with him, and then we did a short informational session with volunteers. Our cat's foster mom was there and kindly told us about our new friend and sent us home with an entire grocery bag of treats and toys. One note is that there is a two week trial period where your adoption isn't finalized until that point, at which point your pet's medical records will be released. Not a bad thing, but different than other shelters I've worked with so I wanted to call it out. Overall if I were telling a friend about my experience I'd say that it's more involved and more intense than other adoption experiences I've had, but worthwhile and still incredibly efficient.

I adopted my kitten and the people there are very kind and caring made the adoption process easyread more

I have now adopted from RescueK911 twice and both times was an outstanding experience, very easy to deal with, yes they do look carefully at who they adopt to to make sure each animal is going to the best possible home for it.... if you are in search for a dog or cat I VERY highly recommend giving RescueK911 a very good long look you won't regret it at all!!!

Kitty City Kansas Rescue

We've adopted three kitties from Kitty City over the years and they are a wonderful organization to…read morework with. They work closely with shelters with euthanasia policies to rescue kitties that might otherwise be euthanized. They are a foster home-based shelter so their kitties get plenty of socialization and attention and they make the trip to the shelter on the weekends so they can meet potential adopters. I've found Kitty City to be very easy to communicate with and they are deeply passionate about their mission.

Another Chance Cat Rescue

Where to start! Mina and the rest of the staff were beyond helpful, informative, caring and over…read moreall passionate about each and every animal in their possession. It is clean, organized and each cat is treated with individual special care. I've been adopting and volunteering at shelters my whole life across the country and this non profit really stood out. Their message is clear and their undeniable selfless love for these animals shines through most. Each cat there is so unique from tiny kittens of every breed to teenage cuties and large cats like Maine coons! The cat's kennels are set up in windows with plenty of light, play room, toys, kennel hammocks, kennel buddies so they can have ample time to socialize and with each kennel set up next to one another so they can interact with one another instead of live in solitude in a dark, windowless plastic box that I see most cats in shelters living in. They even have a fenced in courtyard with trees, grass and cute chairs where they let some of the outdoor indoor kitties get to lounge and watch birds. It warmed my heart and they could use all the help they can get from the community! The owner Mina, was telling me stories of all the ways she's helped around the city, tiny example of all the stories I'm sure she has. One story was about how she received a call from someone who had a cat giving birth outside in -10 degree weather and wouldn't come inside during and she went all the way out to rescue them all! She found homes for most but some were still there! She went into detail about how they specifically choose the right owners for the cats and anyone that might give them a bad feeling about not being a good fit they wouldn't adopt out to. That's HUGE for me. I hate seeing people unfit to adopt do it for the wrong reasons and it's a big fear of mine when fostering my own strays and giving them to shelters. They set them up with all their shots, vaccines, chip and spay/neutering. All at very low cost for a small non-profit. In all, I can't say enough about these women and what they are doing at Another Chance. I adopted my kitten from them and I hope you do too! They also except Venmo donations and volunteers! Check them out!

She let us keep our chosen cat at the rescue for many months until we were ready. Mina patiently walked us through the (very affordable) adoption process with lots of helpful advice. On adoption day she gave us his favorite toys, foods and a box of treats! Mina and all the volunteers clearly pour their heart and soul into this. I can tell the cats here are loved and cared for. Highly recommend this place.

The Pet Connection

We absolutely loved the positive reinforcement type of training our dog received from The Pet…read moreConnection. No choke collars or punishment tactics! We adopted our dog from a shelter and were unable to take her on walks because she would aggressively charge toward other dogs. We were taught distraction and other techniques to decrease her dog aggression. Our goal was to simply be able to take her on normal walks around the neighborhood and have her ignore other dogs. Initially, trainers taught us various distraction techniques, then they brought in "peer" dogs to desensitize her. We worked with different trainers sometimes but all were excellent. Within a few months we had a different dog! Of course we were different too. But, don't plan on letting the trainers do all the work. You have to put in time and effort to see results. If you care about your dog and you're willing to use the tools you're given, which are ample, your dog will learn quickly. We're so glad we found the Pet Connection and decided to take our dog there for training. Our dog loves her walks and now we love walking her! Thanks Pet Connection!
