The City of Kansas City, Mo., Neighborhood and Community Services Department announces that
effective Sunday, Jan. 22, City pet licensing fees will be reduced in an effort to encourage residents
to license their pet dogs, cats and ferrets, as is required by Chapter 14 of the City?s Code of
Ordinances.
?The City?s Animal Shelter receives more than 5,000 lost or abandoned animals annually,? said
David Park, director of the Neighborhood and Community Services Department. ?Many of the
animals are owned pets, but without a license tag, there is no way to contact the owner.?
As of Jan. 22, the changes in City ordinance related to pet licensing will be:
? All one-year pet licenses are $10 (altered or unaltered pets).
? All three-year pet licenses are $27 (altered or unaltered pets).
? Free ride home program ? ?licensed? lost or stray pets will be taken home instead of to the shelter
one time per year. No ticket will be issued for pets that run at large.
? No shelter fees will be assessed if the owner is home when the pet is returned; half fees will be
assessed if the owner cannot be located, and the pet is reclaimed at the shelter.
? Amnesty will be granted on $25 late fees until May 1, 2012.
? All funds generated from license sales support improved care and treatment of animals at the
shelter.
Pet owners can license their pet at the City?s Animal Shelter at 4400 Raytown Road or electronically
at www.petdata.com. They may also contact their veterinarian, who may be able to sell pet licenses
directly.
The pet license fee changes were recommended by a pet licensing task force convened to identify
barriers to pet licensing and develop strategies to increase licensing compliance. In the upcoming
weeks, the task force will launch a new Pet Licensing Campaign: ?Lost Pets Can?t Call Home.? The
campaign will promote the benefits of licensing pets and provide information on how to license a
pet.
