Cookies and Lemon are very sweet, tender-hearted brothers who love each other and the people close to them. Cookies is the more cautious of the two, taking a little more time to warm up to new people, but he's also the sillier and more playful of the two when he's comfortable. He's very affectionate with his brother and grooms him regularly. Lemon Mist wants nothing more than to be baby. He loves to lay on your chest with his head pressed against your chin and his arms around your neck like a little hug, and he expects you to basically do the same. He's the chatty one of the duo and will remind you when it's mealtime or greet you excitedly with meows after you've been gone for the day, (which clearly feels like years for him). They're adorable, tidy, well behaved guests who would make excellent family members in a home where they're allowed to blossom at their own pace.
Dog sociability: Unknown, possibly with a proper slow introduction to a cat friendly dog
Cat sociability: Unknown, have only lived with each other. Possibly with a proper slow introduction!
Kid sociability: Not a match
Likes: pets, toys, catnip, churus, spying out of their room (especially on dogs), watching cat TV
Dislikes: They don't seem to appreciate the automatic cleaning litter box very much. They can be scared and don't like being shoved into a carrier. Cookies especially needs a little time to warm up and he doesn't really like being pet until he feels comfortable
The adoption fee is $150. All cats are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

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!
