Introducing Bellatrix, the epitome of feline charm and companionship. This snuggly and purr-tastic cat will capture your heart with her loving nature and a spirit of adventure. Whether she's curling up in your lap for a cozy catnap or exploring her surroundings with innocent curiosity, Bellatrix offers the perfect blend of affection and independence.
Bellatrix is an explorer at heart, often embarking on mini adventures around the house or taking the opportunity to bask in a sunbeam by the window. Her adventures allow her to return with stories shared through soft purrs and nuzzles. When the day's excitement winds down, Bellatrix transforms into the ultimate lap-warmer, contentedly snuggling with her favourite human for as long as laps are available.
Her balanced personality makes Bellatrix a delightful addition to any home, where her gentle yet adventurous spirit can bring joy to those who love to interact with an affectionate feline friend. So, if you're searching for a cat that combines the best of both worlds—energy and love—Bellatrix could be your ideal match, ready to grace your home with her loving presence.

Common questions about adopting a pet
Start by using one of these links to browse our lists of pets available for adoption:
When you find a pet you like, click the button on its profile page to fill in a form and register your interest in adopting. You can also call us on (02) 4227 7111 during business hours (Monday – Friday, 9am - 5pm).
We’ll then ask you a few follow-up questions to check that you’re a responsible pet owner and make sure that your chosen pet best meets your needs.
We’ll also invite you to meet your future pet in person to make sure you’re a perfect match, before finalising the adoption.
The only types of pets we offer for adoption are:
The cost to adopt will vary depending on how long the animal has been waiting for a home. Generally costs will be:
- Between $50 - $200 for a cat
- Between $75 - $300 for a dog.
Like all Council fees and charges, these costs will be reviewed each year. Any changes will be publicly exhibited for comment before they are adopted by Council.
Yes you can!
When you let us know you're interested to adopt a cat or adopt a dog, we'll contact you and arrange a meet and greet so you can say hello and decide if they’re the one for you.
Our dogs and cats are boarded at a number of regional kennelling facilities contracted by Council. These are currently located across Wollongong, Gerringong and Nowra. You can't directly visit these facilities, but we'll bring the dog or cat to a location in our area that works for you.
Being a pet owner is a big responsibility.
To adopt a pet from Council:
- You must be over 18 years old
- You don't have to live in the Illawarra, but you will need to be able to transport your pet home.
Before adopting a new pet, consider your lifestyle and living arrangements.
If you have any questions or concerns, our team is happy to talk to you about your situation. Please email us or call (02) 4227 7111 to arrange a discussion.
We recognise the serious issue of baiting within the animal rehoming industry. To help prevent this, we have an assessment process in place for potential owners.
Potential owners are vetted to make sure that they’re suitable and committed to animal well-being.
