Giving Hope to abused and forgotten animals in KCMO’s urban core. Proud 501(c)(3) rescue.

Chain of Hope is a grass roots, boots-on-the-ground, outreach organization that provides essential items for survival to neglected and abused cats and dogs in the urban core of Kansas City. We also provide education to pet owners, referrals for spay/neutering, and in some cases, a place in a rescue group so an animal can find a loving indoor forever home.

Outreach Efforts and Challenges

Outreach is extremely demanding emotionally. We are a small rescue group. We can’t possibly get every animal out of every situation that an animal needs to be taken out of it. Often times, all we can do is a supportive role, trying to bring essential supplies, education, comfort and some love, albeit too brief. That’s why we often repeatedly go back to so many of these houses. The animals need us badly. We have to stay tough and keep going. At least now, we will have some back-up when we can’t resolve something ourselves.

Here are some of our recent outreach pictures. It’s been a tough summer so far and we still have a ways to go. Thank you for keeping us out there on the streets, in the backyards, alleys and camps! Our work is life-saving and we couldn’t do it without you!

Here is where you can donate to our outreach efforts if you feel so led! We appreciate you guys!

Desperately Seeking a Foster Home for These Two Babies!!

We saved these two little babies yesterday. They were being kept in a kennel with no bottom in it, far back in the yard, covered in f***s, starving. They are probably about 3 months old, but have been starved and are behind the 8 ball a bit. They just need their worming, which we've already started, their vaccinations, being done today and a lot of TLC for right now. If you have some extra love to give to these two, they surely deserve it. Chain of Hope supplies everything and Amber, our foster coordinator, is great and will be there every step of the way!

Please reach out with a foster application and Amber will be get back to you!

We need you and these beautiful babies need you! If you've ever thought about fostering, dive right in!

Kitten season isn’t slowing down — in fact, we currently have more kittens in our program than ever before, and there are still more out there who need our help.

Our adoption fee is just $100, and that includes:
✔️ Spay or neuter
✔️ Age-appropriate vaccines
✔️ FIV/FeLV combo test
✔️ Microchip

If you're interested in giving one (or two!) of these sweet kittens a forever home, please apply at https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CHKC/Cat

We always want our kittens to be adopted in pairs or to go to a home with another friendly cat, so please keep that in mind when applying!

While most were dodging the triple-digit temps, our team was out in it—doing what we do best: caring for the neglected and forgotten.

We’ve been filling buckets of fresh water & ice,
providing makeshift shad, hanging fly traps & applying ear gel, begging owners to show mercy
& alerting animal control when we had to.

It's exhausting. It's emotional. And it's necessary.

This is what Chain of Hope does—day in and day out. But we can't do it alone.

That’s why our upcoming Fall Ball on September 27th matters more than ever. It’s not just a party— it’s a lifeline. The funds we raise directly support these critical efforts in the urban core of Kansas City.

✨ So come out. Show up. Support.
📍 https://www.chainofhopekc.org/event-details/fall-ball-celebrating-15-years-1
🎟️ Tickets, sponsorships, silent auction items—all of it makes a difference.

The animals can’t speak for themselves. But we can. And we’ll keep doing it—no matter the weather.

Welcome City-Run Animal Control in KCMO!

Good riddance to KCPP animal control finally. You have left too many animals to count out here to suffer and even die because you did not do your job. The anger and frustration that you put all of us who really care through is unforgivable. Trying to get help for just one animal out here has been a battle and we’re at it all day, every day. We often say to each other, “Are we looking at the same animal?” Man, it’s been so frustrating! Council let this go on far too long. It took a lot of suffering and Chain of Hope and others making a lot of noise to get this back to the city.

Welcome city-run animal control! We want you to succeed because if you are succeeding, that means animals are finally getting the help they’ve so desperately needed. We need good officers who give a damn.

For any officers possibly getting hired from KCPP onto the city side-it’s a new day. Ordinances will be enforced, you’re going to be able to get into the backyards to help these animals, citations will be written, owners will be held accountable and you will be going to court on many more of your cases rather than closing them, hopefully. These offenders need to get before a judge and explain to the judge why they did what they did to their animal.

The change over to city-run animal control has been a long time coming. Exhale for just a minute everyone and many, many thanks to all of you that advocated for this change and made your voices heard! Let’s all of us work together to repair the damage that has been done to this city in regards to animal welfare. We have our work cut out for us all. Let’s go!
