My story

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

Bio: Nico is an independent young kitty that will be happy to greet you, waiting to be picked up and looking for chin scratches or attention. He also enjoys giving kisses. Nico is curious and the first to greet the dog when he sticks his head over the gate. On the fun side, Nico is an inquisitive young kitten who enjoys exploring, looking for new heights and new adventures, everything fascinates him. He is an energetic youngster who loves to run and jump, racing through the tunnel as fast as he can and chasing his siblings around the room. Once playtime is over, he can be found cuddled up on a blanket or sitting with one of his siblings. Nico loves to eat and is not shy about pushing his siblings out of the way to get his food as well as theirs. Overall, he is a pleasant, agreeable kitty that would do well with other pets. If you’re looking for sibling kittens, he would do great being adopted with one (or more) of his four siblings.

Dog sociability: Yes! With proper introductions
Cat sociability: Yes! With proper introductions
Kid sociability: Unknown, Possibly

Likes: Getting your attention, wet food, playing with wand toys

Dislikes: Being the last to eat

The adoption fee is $150. 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 shelter

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!
