My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dog sociability: Possibly after proper introduction!
Cat sociability: Yes! They became friends in their foster home and would likely get along with other cats after proper introduction.
Kid sociability: Likely after proper introduction but King can play a little rough so he would do better with older kids, and Tennessee might be a little nervous.

Likes: All cat toys that exist! King likes being close to his humans. They both love food and treats. King loves to boop you in your face. Tennessee Tux likes petting sessions and sunning in the window.

Dislikes: King doesn't like to be picked up, but he will jump in your lap when he's ready. Tennessee is nervous in new environments.

Bio:

King is his foster's favorite foster cat yet! He did not take much time to decompress, just went straight to being comfortable in the home. He knows his boundaries with other cats, very respectful. His zoomies are insane too! His meows are the cutest and he likes to hop on the bed to sleep beside the foster. He does not like to be picked up, but chooses his moment and then will jump into your lap. Loves to be close to you almost always. He knows how to keep himself busy with toys too. He is an amazing cat, and you will never regret choosing him!

Tennessee Tux took some time to decompress in the foster home, but he came out to eat and steal toys! After warming up to the new surroundings, he has become a chatty, friendly little guy. He's a great cat and now loves attention and petting. Very vocal especially at mealtime. He became friends with King in the foster home and now they are buddies! He's looking for patience in his forever home since he might be nervous at first but then he'll be happy to accept meals and pets forever.

Adopt this special pair so they can be best friends forever!

The adoption fee for this pair has been waived! All cats are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

Our Adoption Center is open every Wednesday – Sunday in Bucktown at 2144 N Wood Street, but we are reachable by email 7 days/week!

Our Adoption Center has adoptable dogs. Adoptable cats and bunnies live in foster homes. We work on a first come basis. We are limiting the amount of visitors on site, so you may be asked to be added to the waitlist when you arrive. We require all family members of the household (including any resident dogs with current vaccination records) to be present at the introduction. We recommend being prepared to adopt same-day as the dogs at our Adoption Center are available for direct adoption and we do not “hold” them for specific applicants.

You can view which dogs are currently at our Adoption Center by selecting “adoption center” in the attributes tab on our Available Pets page.

ADOPTION APPOINTMENTS: For dogs, cats, and bunnies living in foster care our Adoption Team will set up adoption appointments with potential adopters after an application is submitted. We do not have cats, bunnies, or guinea pigs living at our Adoption Center (only dogs!)

More about this rescue

One Tail at a Time (OTAT) started as a backup plan for dogs that were not getting adopted or rescued by other groups in the area shelters. Over the years we have experienced consistent and steady growth: we are among the top transfer partners for dogs at Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) and for cats at several open intake shelters in Indiana, we have a robust transport program in which dogs are rescued from high-kill shelters in southern states, and we are even able to pull dogs from a rescue partner in Tulum, Mexico to help them get adopted in the Chicagoland area. Our growth has been, and continues to be, due to the overwhelming support received from our community.

Members enable us to take on complex medical cases and continue to grow our annual intake numbers. Volunteers have continued to line up to foster and care for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs, to take on leadership roles, and to help build One Tail at a Time into a well-known and respected rescue organization in Chicago and beyond.

Due to our continuous growth and immensely supportive community of members, volunteers, fosters, adopters, and more, we have evolved into the One Tail at a Time Cooperative!
