Dog sociability: Possibly after proper introduction. The fosters have a dog in the house, and they are beginning to work on slow introductions. She would likely do okay with a dog that respects her space.
Cat sociability: Possible after proper introduction.
Kid sociability: She has not had any interactions with kids. We would not recommend it, but she could be in a house with a 12+ year old.
Likes: Chin scratches, head rubs, naps, cuddling, soft beds/caves, solo time, cat reality tv (aka cat YouTube).
Dislikes: Touching her butt, loud noises, quick and sudden movements

Meet Tappy: Your New Best Friend with a Dash of Sass!
Tappy is an eight-year-old sweetheart who's been through the ups and downs of life, but she's ready to settle into a forever home where she can relax, nap, and share her unique brand of love. With her slightly grumpy but irresistibly cute demeanor, Tappy knows exactly what she wants-and isn't afraid to tell you! She may have some firm boundaries, but once you're in her circle, you'll find she's all about chin and head scratches, cozy cuddles, and being your quiet companion as you go about your day.
Tappy's back legs aren't as strong as they used to be, so she has a unique, unsteady gait that only adds to her charm. But don't worry-this means your kitchen counters and bookshelves are safe from any curious paws, as she prefers to stay grounded. She also has some medical needs and is currently on renal food to keep her healthy and happy. Despite these challenges, Tappy is full of life and love, ready to share her world with someone who will appreciate her just as she is.
She's a connoisseur of steak and salmon (as small treats), enjoys sipping from her water fountain, and adores her soft bed where she can lounge in peace or with you nearby. While she's not a fan of loud noises or sudden movements, Tappy will happily greet your guests-just as long as she has a cozy retreat to call her own when she needs some "me time.
Tappy would thrive in a calm, quieter home, or with a family that understands her need for a little space now and then. She's been through a lot, but Tappy is more than ready to shower her new family with love-on her terms, of course! If you're looking for a loving companion with a side of sass, Tappy might just be your perfect match.
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!
