My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A note from Mohawk's foster mom:

"This fuzzy female with the masculine name does in fact have a mohawk. (My fault.) When I first met her and her brothers I couldn't tell them apart so I gave them very small haircuts and hers just stuck. It's super fun to wet her hair a little a "bring out" the happy accident.

"I came closer to keeping this little dear than any other foster I've ever had. I didn't only because raising fosters is a little like making a gift for someone. You don't end up keeping it just because it turned out so well.

"Mohawk is a type of kitten I call an insta-purr. The second you touch her she starts purring loud enough to interrupt your phone call:) She loves to be held like an infant and have her belly rubbed. She's definitely playful and loves other animals but is happier when snoozing with you. She's so content and (mostly) ladylike that it's impossible not to love her.

"Last but Not least is her fur. She has long beautiful hair that is so soft to the touch that it's hard to comprehend. It's so soft and airy I've seen nothing like it. Don't miss her, I certainly will!"

Mohawk can't wait to go home with you! Please come adopt Mohawk today!

Mohawk would also like you to know...

Hi! I currently have ringworm, the friendly fungus!

Ringworm is a fungal infection (not a worm) of the skin that causes circular lesions and hair loss. It makes us very itchy! Ringworm is treated with Itrafungol, a liquid oral medication. Every two weeks I should have a recheck with our clinic until I am clear! It's best to keep me in an easy to clean environment to reduce the spread of fungal spores. Ringworm can be transmitted to other animals or people. I can be taken home today, and you'll be taking my medication with you!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Thanks so much for considering adoption! At KC Pet Project we have no blanket rules. Our goal is to find the pet that is right for YOUR family. The adoption process takes about an hour and does not require you filling out any paperwork ahead of time – you’ll do that once you’ve met someone and decide it’s a good fit. If you have another dog at home, we would like to have a supervised introduction with your pet(s) and our pet. Details about the introduction process can be found below.

You can view all of our adoptable dogs online at – we update their availability and location in real time. If you see them, they are still available for adoption. When you click on their photo it will show their location. There is no appointment needed to visit our pets.

You can visit any of our three locations seven days a week and find a pet that you’re interested in, or meet someone in foster at a mutually agreed upon location. We will have you fill some things out and then go through an adoption interview with a staff member. If all goes well, we’ll send you home with them that day. They’ll have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, have age appropriate vaccines, have been heartworm tested, and have received intestinal dewormer.

Small dogs, puppies, and specialty breeds go quickly here at KC Pet Project. If your schedule allows, you are encouraged to visit our dogs here at the shelter, as we often times have these dogs but they are on stray hold. If you see a pet you are interested in but they are not currently available, you have the option of putting down an Early Bird hold. The EB hold is $50 and $25 of it is a non-refundable donation to us that gives you first right of adoption if the dog is not reclaimed, and the other $25 is deducted from the dog’s adoption fee.

All of our adopters are expected to have a proper leash and collar for their dogs or a carrier to take home cats, which can be found in the retail section of any of our locations. If you live in Kansas City, MO, you should also expect to purchase a city license tag for $12 – this is something you’ll renew each year upon vaccinating your pet.

If you need to introduce your pet(s) to our pet: We recommend visiting an animal first to make sure that it is a good candidate for your home, and so that you have free hands. If you decide you would like to proceed with a meet and greet, please bring your dog to the location where your adoption candidate lives and staff will assist you. If visiting the main shelter, please do not bring your dog into the kennel area. Instead, have someone you trust hold onto your dog and notify a staff member that you are here for the introduction, or you can leave them in your car if it is weather appropriate. KCPP staff will let your dog and our dog drag a leash and greet each other naturally, without you present so that the introduction can be as objective as possible. Please plan on separating your newly adopted dog from your current dog on your drive home (in a kennel, for example), unless you have assistance.

Adoption Fees:
Adult mixed breed dogs: $75-150
Small breed dogs and puppies: $150-300
Cats: $25-$75
Kittens: $50 – $125
