Dog sociability: Possibly. They met a dog through a gate. Might do okay with a calm dog with a proper introduction.
Cat sociability: Likely after proper introduction - they love each other and might enjoy other cat friends.
Kid sociability: Haven't met them yet but might be okay. May not be a great fit for homes with small kids unless they respect boundaries and understand how to approach calmly and gently.
Likes: Head scritches, face scritches, ear scritches
Sally will meow for attention. She likes to be pet. She will flop over to accept some loving, but not on the belly directly. Squirt will raise her hind end if you stroke her along her back, but she is more reserved than Sally and takes more time to warm up.
Dislikes: Sudden movements, being held when they don't want to be
Bio:
Meet Sally and Squirt, a precious mother and daughter duo!
Sally takes a little bit of time to warm up but is very affectionate once she gets to know you. She requests head/face/chin/ear scritches by head-butting your hand or chirping politely. She is still learning how to be a housecat and would likely do best in a home with humans who can be patient as she continues to come out of her shell.
Squirt is very playful and will chase a toy across the apartment. She was the smallest of her litter, but now is curious, feisty, and a little devious. She squeaks but does not meow. It's actually quite adorable! Squirt can take a longer time to get comfortable with her people, so she would thrive with a patient adopter that can show her humans are safe!
These two sleep next to each other and Sally will still occasionally groom Squirt. They are looking for their forever, together.
The adoption fee is $150 for a bonded pair. 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!
