Dog sociability: Possibly after proper introduction, but she's a bit timid so she'd prefer a chill dog
Cat sociability: Likely after proper introduction! She loves playing with her kittens and would enjoy a feline friend in her furever home!
Kid sociability: Possibly after proper introduction, but she'll do better with kids who can approach calmly and give her space.
Likes: treats! cat nip toys, louging
Dislikes: being picked up
Bio:
Rita is a gorgeous mama that is ready to live her best life now that her babies have all grown up. She is looking for a patient adopter that can give her the time and space she needs to come out of her shell! She does like a comfortable place where she can hide, especially at first. After she settles in, she enjoys spending her time out in the living room lounging on the rug or in her favorite spot, the windowsill. Because she can be nervous, she doesn't enjoy being pet but will show you her love, appreciation, and companionship in other ways. She likes catnip toys and will play with you and a wand toy! She'll also eat yummy churus from your hand. She's a very sweet girl who's just waiting for the right person to love her forever!
The adoption fee is $100. 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!
