My story

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

Dog sociability: Possibly with proper introduction!
Cat sociability: Yes, with proper introduction and a chill cat that respects her space. She'd also be happy to be solo!
Kid sociability: Possibly older children with proper introduction!

Likes: sitting in the window, playing with dangly toys, cuddling in bed

Dislikes: fast movements, belly pets

Bio: Bell has her tuxedo and boots on and is ready to go home! Bell is looking for a window perch, a comfy couch and someone to cuddle with at night. She likes a good daytime hiding spot but will come out for toys she can paw and grab, head scratches and bird watching. She likes attention at her pace and will give you a gentle paw if she is done. She prefers slow introductions to play and attention. At the end of the day, she wants to snuggle up on you or next to you. She was overwhelmed in a multiple cat household. She may do well with one other pet that gives her space. She's great with litterbox use, does not scratch furniture and I have not caught her on countertops or the table. Also how cute are those white whiskers??

The adoption fee is $100. All cats are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

Go meet their pets

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!
