Meet Lorna, the delightful and spirited black cat with a personality that's as captivating as her sleek, ebony fur. Known for her "standard black cat energy," Lorna has a unique charm and an independent streak that makes her stand out. She's playful and full of life, always eager to engage in a game and maybe even cause a little mischief along the way!
Lorna may not be the most affectionate of kitties, but she is undeniably sweet and enjoys the company of others on her own terms. She tends to keep things interesting with her cheeky antics and is quite social with other feline friends. Her meals are one of her favourite parts of the day, and you can always count on her to meow for some treats. She's the ideal companion for someone who appreciates an entertaining and lively cat who spices up the room with her unique combination of playfulness and charm. Lorna is ready to charm a new family who understands her joyful spirit and welcomes her cheeky nature into their hearts.

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.
