I spotted a missing pet — report a sighting
Kansas City metro · live case board Always free
Follow the pets you care about, get their updates, and manage your own pet's search. Verify with your mobile number — no password, no website account.
The live map, the active-pet board and sighting reports are open to everyone and always will be.
Markers show general search areas only. Exact locations are intentionally withheld to protect pet owners and active recovery efforts.
Drag the map to move around it, and scroll over it to zoom. On a phone, drag with one finger and pinch to zoom.

Every card is a real open case. Open one to see the full public case page, the verified updates, the sighting map and a printable flyer — then report what you saw, or send the case to someone who searches that neighbourhood.
Loading cases…
Reporting takes under a minute, from a phone, with no login and no account. Find the pet below and you will land straight on that pet’s own sighting form. Every report is reviewed by the recovery team before anything goes on the public map.
Start typing to find the case. Don’t know the pet’s name? Browse the case board — the photos are there.
If the pet is injured, in traffic, or you have it contained right now, call 913-915-2800 instead of filling in a form. Please do not chase, call out to, or approach a frightened pet — it pushes them further from home.
No app, no account to hunt for, nothing to pay.
A missing pet gets a case number and a public page that anyone can open and share.
Photo, last-seen area, behaviour and the right way to approach, all on one page.
Anyone can report a sighting. Nothing appears publicly until the team has reviewed it.
Flyers, cameras, shelter checks and field search all work from the same verified picture.
Every share puts the case in front of someone who walks that street — that is how pets get found.
The Command Center is the shared board. The recoveries come from the people watching it — across the whole Kansas City metro, on both sides of the state line.
Use as much or as little as you need. None of it requires hiring anybody.
Where an indoor cat actually goes, how far, and why calling its name is the one thing that keeps it hidden.
Lost Cat HelpWhat a dog in flight mode does, where it travels, and how to bring it in instead of chasing it further.
Lost Dog HelpStraight to the recovery team. Use these when the pet is missing right now and you want people moving today.
Cat formThe dog version of the same form — different questions, because a running dog is a different problem.
Dog formA cellular camera on loan for seven days, so you can watch a feeding station overnight instead of guessing.
Camera resourcesEverything we know about finding a cat or a dog in this metro, written out in full and free to read.
Open the guidesWhich Kansas City groups to post in, by county, and how to post so people actually respond.
Open the directoryWho to call, where to file a found report, and what to check in person — the step most owners skip.
Shelters & animal controlVetted people and businesses across the metro who work lost-pet cases the way we do.
Trusted partnersNot ready to open a case? Build a plain missing-pet flyer for Facebook and neighbourhood boards.
Cat templateThe same builder for a missing dog, sized for a pole, a shop window and a Facebook post.
Dog templateReal Kansas City searches, start to finish — including what the owners did before calling.
Watch a real recoveryA flyer template is not a case — it does not create a case page, a case number, or a place for sightings to land. Report a missing pet if you want those.
Everything above is free and stays free. If you want to do more than watch the board, there are three ways in — and if a case needs equipment in the field, that is what KC Pet Search & Rescue does.
Volunteers, group admins, businesses and neighbours who share cases and watch their own street.
Shelters, vets, trappers and recovery professionals who work Kansas City cases alongside us.
Gear from the store keeps the free half of this system — the case pages, the cameras, the flyers — free.
Thermal drone and ground thermal after dark, cellular cameras on a feeding station, humane cat trapping.
Service names and current pricing are published in full — nothing here is quoted from memory or hidden until you call.

Field deployment, thermal search, cameras and trapping support are paid services and entirely optional. KC Pet Search & Rescue does not perform dog trapping.
Public Google reviews, quoted as written.
“My cat Gizmo was missing a total of 4 days… It only took Gizmo 4–5 hours to walk right into the trap he set up and we were finally able to have him back.”
“Our cat had been missing for 17 days… He came out multiple times to help us and find other places to move the trap. Our kitty is home and happy with us tonight!”
“The best search and rescue there is! He helped us find our pup before the fireworks got too loud on the 4th of July.”
Choose your missing pet below to create a recovery page, receive sighting reports, and keep your search organized in one place.
Cats and dogs go missing in completely different ways, so the two intakes ask different questions. Pick the one that matches and only that form opens.
Your cat’s recovery page, sighting alerts and shareable case link are created as soon as you submit this. Nothing here is published except the details we mark public.
Not a cat or a dog? Rabbits, birds, reptiles and other pets are recovered too — those cases are opened by hand so the questions match the animal. Contact us to open a case 913-915-2800
