My story

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

Sprout is an easygoing, low-drama kitten. She loves playing with her people and will happily chase a wand toy for as long as you’re willing. When she’s not playing, she’s usually napping or exploring the house to find a new favorite spot.

She’s affectionate but polite — she likes to follow her human around, sit in laps, and ask for pets without demanding attention. Sprout has lived with two other cats and did really well. She hasn’t jumped into play yet, but she follows them around, watches, and gives them space when they need it.

She’d be a great fit for someone looking for a calm, friendly kitten who enjoys people and does well with other cats.

Dog sociability: Unknown, possibly with a slow, proper introduction to a cat friendly dog!
Cat sociability: Yes, with a slow, proper introduction! Lived in foster home with resident cats and did well.
Kid sociability: Likely would do well with respectful kids of all ages

Likes: Getting pets, treats of all kinds, playing with wands and string, sunbathing

Dislikes: Boring toys (she prefers interactive play) being picked up for long periods

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!
