Dog sociability: Yes! Chopstick and Sashimi hang out with the resident dog in their foster home, and sometimes sleep next to each other. They would be fine with a resident dog with a slow introduction.
Cat sociability: Yes, they love each other and would likely do well with other cats after a slow and proper introduction.
Kid sociability: Likely after proper introduction. They are so well mannered and chill, they would probably do great with kids.
Likes: Chopstick and Sashimi both love pets, nose boops, purring and snuggling when they hang out with you. They love wet food and treats and eating the first meal of the day together. They love to play! They will wrestle and chase each other, but also engage in play by themselves with any toy that is around. Sometimes the foster will find them both snuggled up in the dog's crate taking a nap. They love to use their scratching post too!
Dislikes: The first time Chopstick and Sashimi hear a strange loud noise they are scared, but if they hear it a couple of times, they will get used to it quickly.
Bio
Chopstick and Sashimi are beautiful black panther brothers that One Tail rescued from a shelter in Louisiana that was desperately trying to find a place for their animals because of an approaching hurricane. Chopstick has gold eyes and a little white on his belly, Sashimi has stunning green eyes.
These sweet boys are a perfect example of why they say adopting two kittens is ALWAYS better than having just one. Chopstick and Sashimi are still in late kittenhood but are unbelievably low maintenance. There is no need to wave the cat toy wand several times a day in the hope that you are providing enough enrichment, nope these boys entertain each other all day or sometimes just play on their own. A typical day starts with the boys enthusiastically sharing a can of wet cat food. Then it's playtime when they chase, wrestle, stalk, dive into the cat tunnel or engage with any of their toys. You can enjoy their antics while you sit on the couch sipping coffee and catching up on emails. They will probably check in with you on a regular basis for some pets, nose boops and a purring session. After they have worn each other out, they might decide to nap together or apart. This cycle repeats a few times and then when you are settling down to chill for the evening you will be visited by two affectionate sweet boys who want to snuggle and purr, get some pets and share their love. Chopstick and Sashimi are the best boys, hurry and get your application in now before they end up adored by someone else!
The adoption fee is $250. 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!
