My story

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

Babs is a lover boy on the outside and a lion under his fur. He will cuddle and stay by your side all day long if allowed and will try to get into whatever room you are in if you don't bring him along. Babs loves watching the outdoors. Cars driving by people walking and talking, squirrels and birds you name it. He is especially content if the window is open and he can feel the outside air. He can be a bit anxious at times and may end up in a hiding spot that he picked out all by himself, but I have never seen him stay hidden for very long. Babs is a great cat to have around and will make anyone who adopts him happy.

Dog sociability: Possibly with proper introduction!
Cat sociability: Likely with proper introduction!
Kid sociability: Possibly with proper introduction!

Likes: Talking, watching squirrels and birds out the window while lounging on a window perch, getting head scratches, being brushed all over, hunting dangling toys, hiding and pouncing during playtime, snuggling with people, and showing off his inner fierce hunter

Dislikes: Being held, loud noises, belly rubs

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!
