My story

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

Dog sociability: yes with a proper introduction!
Cat sociability: yes!
Kid sociability: yes!

Likes: She likes high places and climbing into the upper closet shelf. Likes to hide in boxes, drawers. She eats both wet and dry food

Dislikes: when someone has the audacity to interrupt her nap!

Maria is a playful young kitten with personality plus and adorable striped coloring. She is a very sociable and confident female kitty who looks at you directly in the eye when she's ready for your attention. Maria is super friendly, enjoys being petted and gets along well with her multiple siblings. Maria also enjoys her time alone. She was the first to figure out how to climb to the highest closet shelf to nap and loves finding quiet places to hide when she's ready to stop running around chasing her roommates. She exhibits great curiosity and confidence and will greet you when you come to the door, anxious to say hi and get in the action. She has been curious of the resident dog and has met him through a baby gate, umping up to greet him. Maria has charm and personality; she will be fun to watch grow up! Maria would love to get adopted with one of her siblings but would also do well with a cat or dog friend.

The adoption fee is $150. All cats are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

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!
