"Houdini is mostly white with a the most unique black pattern on top of his little head and a little black tail. When we first brought the basket of 8 kittens home, he found his way out of the basket. His foster mom said to him, "How did you get out?" She put him back in and and made it more secure this time and within a few minutes he was crying again, from outside the basket! She said, "How do you keep escaping?" This time she thought she was smart and put them all in a different enclosure, but you can guess what happened next, can't you? Yes. He escaped and on Day 1 got his name: Houdini!
"When he's not using his magician super powers, he is the sweetest boy! Cuddly and playful and his purr motor starts up whenever you pet him. He does love to run around and will chase any string or puff ball.
"He's so soft and fluffy and he's mostly a white puff ball of fur. He has very wonderful litter box habits and he's even comfortable around big dogs and the vacuum does not scare him!
"He would be best suited to have a little buddy to play with. Please consider one or more of his litter mates that are also ready for adoption: Petunia, Bug and Little Jack.
"Houdini's been eating Iams soft kitten food and Iam's kitten kibble."
Houdini is living in a foster home, but will be ready to go home with you on November 11. Pease email his foster mom today at kimberannekcs@gmail.com for more information or to meet Houdini.
And please don't forget to check out his litter mates!
Did you know kittens do better together? It's true! When kittens are raised together, they play, sleep and learn together. They look out for each other, and keep each other company while you are away. This makes taking care of them much easier for you, and results in happier, better adjusted cats with fewer behavior concerns overall. Plus, there's twice as much love and fun waiting for you when you come home! If you have no other cats in your home, or even if you do, please consider taking home more than one kitten. You'll be glad you did!

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
