Critterhousekc

Critterhousekc CritterhouseKC is a foster-based animal rescue organization operating in Greater Kansas City. Every pet deserves a home and every home deserves a pet.

At CritterHouseKC, we specialize in finding foster homes and providing care for animals in some of the most challenging situations, ultimately finding them permanent homes with loving families. We take in mamas and babies, pregnant cats and dogs, orphaned puppies and kittens and babies with a variety of special needs. We also have the opportunity from time to time to pull animals released from com

mercial breeding facilities into our program. These animals require a special skill set to transition them from a life of breeding to life as a treasured family member. CritterHouseKC was born from a collection of volunteers who have served the greater Kansas City area rescue community for decades. We understand the needs of area animals and potential adopters alike and bring a fresh perspective to the art of connecting the right pet to the right home. Further, our great veterinary partners and our relationships with other rescue groups throughout the region allow us to offer low-cost adoptions after providing spay/neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccination and microchips.

​We are a licensed, privately-funded, 501(c)(3) organization whose generous donors and adopters are saving lives daily. Our Amazon wishlist can be found here:

Gigi wants to thank everyone who donated to her surgery! As a reminder, 2 year old Gigi came from a breeder with an untreated injury to her hip that is now riddled with arthritis. Thanks to your generosity, she is scheduled on 6/12/26 for an FHO, and, if all goes well, she will be pain free and available for adoption by early July.

While we have her surgery costs covered, we have also incurred close to $500 in charges for office visits, medication, X-rays, etc. and we expect to have some post surgical costs. Anything received over and above the cost of her surgery will be used to cover those fees.

We appreciate each and every one of you for your kindness!!

I want to shout out our great friend, Heather, volunteer, foster and adopter, who provided Dolly Parton's post pregnancy glow-up! After almost 8 weeks nursing and caring for her single puppy, Dolly was looking a little raggedy! Heather never turns away a CritterHouseKC dog, even though she has transitioned her business away from grooming. If you'd like to find Heather, you can look for her at the Blue Springs Market on Main, every Saturday from 8-12 for a perfect puppy pedicure!

Urgent Surgery Needed!
Two Donors are Matching Your Gifts

Things have fallen apart for Gigi.

This sweet breeder-release Havanese was supposed to be adopted this week. Instead, X-rays revealed severe osteoarthritis in her hips before her second birthday. Most likely the result of an injury that didn't heal correctly. Possibly a result of her breeding history.

She struggles to run, jump, and even move without pain — and without surgery, things will only get worse as her joints continue to deteriorate.

Sadly, her adopter backed out after hearing the news.

She *urgently* needs a $1,500 surgery for a chance at a comfortable, normal life. So moved by her struggles, two donors are matching every gift up to $500 right now. Please help us fight for this little dog. Time is running short for her. 🐾

Dutton is the happiest boy! He loves people and he loves other dogs! He’s smart, he’s housetrained and he’s only 40lbs.
He loves life, he’s always smiling and he has a very soft temperament. He’s so easy to train because he is so eager to please!
This is a once in a lifetime type of dog.
