Tulips on Troost

An Initiative for change

  • Tulips on Troost aims to change the face of Troost Avenue by planting one million tulips along the Avenue in honor of an early Kansas City leader, Dr. Benoist Troost. Through this mission, we hope to inspire and motivate the citizens of Kansas City to recognize the value of neighborhood capital improvements and beautification in some of the city's most under-served neighborhoods. Tulips are just on the surface—our deep-rooted goal is to use a beautiful, accessible thing like a tulip to represent positive change on Troost and to let the city know that Troost is worth our time, efforts, and resources.

On August 15, Tulips on Troost is proud to partner with Rockhurst Finucane volunteers to do some serious outdoor clean-up at Spay & Neuter KC's property at 59th & Troost! If you have cats or dogs that need shots or to get "fixed", then check out SNKC! They provide low-cost services for individuals with low incomes. Spread the word, and like Bob Barker says, please get your cats and dogs spayed or neutered! (And come by on the 15th and do some weeding while you're at it..)


Spay and Neuter Kansas City (SNKC) is a 501c3 organization, formed in 2002 with a primary goal of promoting affordable spay and neuter services to help decrease pet overpopulation in the Kansas City area. Our program targets areas of the city that receive a higher number of animal control calls. Our primary focus is reducing the surplus of pets that are at highest risk of contributing to pet overpopulation and service those pet owners who cannot otherwise afford such services.
Our mission is to promote spaying and neutering as a primary means to decrease pet-overpopulation and to improve our community's commitment and responsibility in animal welfare.

Through our spay and neuter program we will:
  • Reduce the number of unwanted and stray animals entering our shelters
  • Keep our neighborhoods safer by decreasing the number of dangerous animals in our community
  • Decrease the number of homeless animals roaming our neighborhoods.
  • Strengthen families through education of responsible pet ownership.
  • Educate today's youth to help promote responsible pet ownership for their future.
  • Make adoption more likely for a shelter pet than death.
