My story

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

Dog sociability: Likely after proper introduction
Cat sociability: Yes, they get along with each other and have been fine with other cats. They should be properly introduced before making friends.
Kid sociability: Likely after proper introduction

Likes: Wand toys, high places, windowsills, canned food, exploring, wrestling with each other, and cuddling

Dislikes: Being alone, too many new people at once, when toys get lost

Bio:

Jim is a sweet and adventurous cat. He was the first of his brothers to explore the house including climbing as high as he could get on everything. He is a ball of energy but once he's done, he will run to you for some cuddles while he purrs and makes air biscuits.

Dwight is the sweetest! He can be a bit wary of new people and spaces and relies on his brother, Jim, to help him be confident. He warms up to you within an hour or two and will flop over and give you the loudest purrs and air biscuits. After a week you'll be able to pick him up and hold him and by week two he is happy to get forehead kisses and be carried around the house. He's very polite, doesn't get into plants or jump on counters. He follows you around from room to room and will cry if he can't find you or his brother.

Bring these boys home and you'll have double the love!

The adoption fee is $250. All cats are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

Adoption application

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!
