Future is a truly special little boy who wants to be the center of your world! He always wants to be near his person and is a total snuggle bug, especially if he can curl up in your hair, which is his favorite spot. Future loves everyone he meets and will happily play with anyone. He is playful, extremely friendly, and surprisingly brave around other animals. He was not scared to try to play with my resident cat, who is more than 4 times his size! His favorite activities include wrestling with his brother Pickles, playing with string, and snuggling!!! His favorite thing is having his ears scratched, and his belly rubbed at the same time. Honestly, Future is the kitten I’m going to miss the most. He is truly the most loving, cutest, sweetest little boy. He’s the kind of kitten who is going to be the center of your world and be your very best friend.
Pickles is shy at first, but once he opens up after a few days, he becomes the world’s biggest love bug! He loves playing pounce with Future, chasing jingle balls and exploring high places. He will hop onto your shoulder if you let him. Pickles is also more vocal than Future and will sweetly demand the love he deserves once he feels safe. He will also not hesitate to make a nest in your hair, his favorite place to snuggle is in the crook of your neck, behind your ear. Future plays a huge role in helping Pickles come out of his shell and Pickles absolutely adores his brother and is always near him. I’m really going to miss Pickles holding my hand when he’s in my lap and his tiny meows. He was so shy at first, but when he finally trusted me enough to pet him, it was one of the best feelings in the world.
These boys are incredibly special, and they’re ready to bring so much love into the right home!
Dog sociability: Possibly with proper slow introduction to cat-friendly dog!
Cat sociability: Yes, with proper slow introduction!
Kid sociability: Playful (and sometimes bitey) kittens! May do best with older kids.
Likes: Snuggling and being pet! And string, jingle balls, and playing wrestle with each other!
Dislikes: When you are too busy to snuggle, not receiving pets EVEN if they politely ask for it, rooms that are too cold, the dreaded CAT CARRIER.
The adoption fee is $250. All cats are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.
Meet Future & Pickles!

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!
