My story

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

Do you know of a homebody that loves peace and quiet who is looking for a companion... we have the girl for them!!

Tortellini or as I affectionally call her linguini, torts, torttini, tini, tortatone, toney, ms lonely, pony, and of course cutie little baby. She will likely take a while time to warm up but I promise you once she does, it is so worth it! Like some of us, Tini just needs a little extra patience and reassurance. Toney likes to talk to you and will let you know when she is ready to play or wants pets. Torts enjoys a more quiet and slow paced life. She loves to rub up against your legs and purr as loudly as she can while she does. She loves looking out the window from the cat condo and lying next to you on the couch. Tortellini is such a sweet girl who is so deserving of a forever home with someone that has the patience to give her the space she needs to feel comfortable.

Dog sociability: Not a match!
Cat sociability: Not a match!
Kid sociability: Would do best with cat-savvy, older kids that can give her space while she settles in.

Likes: chasing ribbons, rubbing up against you and getting pets.

Dislikes: loud noises, not having hidey huts

The adoption fee is $100. 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!
