Introducing Nala, a lovely young cat who is looking for a peaceful place to call home. With her striking presence and enchanting personality, Nala carefully chooses who receives her affection. Initially a tad timid, she might have had some unspeakable experiences before arriving in our care. However, her gentle heart quickly shines through, and it doesn't take long for her to warm up to new people once she feels safe and secure in her surroundings.
Not only is Nala incredibly affectionate, but she also possesses a nurturing spirit that enables her to live harmoniously with other cats, whether male or female. Since mid-March, Nala has been in foster care, settling in splendidly and displaying her capacity for trust and companionship. Her favoyrite moments are those when she receives gentle head scratches, and her purrs of gratitude will melt your heart.
If you have a calm and gentle environment that can provide the love and security she deserves, Nala would be an outstanding addition and a devoted, purring companion. Her affectionate nature and resilience make her a wonderful friend for the kind-hearted, someone ready to offer her a safe haven where she can grow and flourish.

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.

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.
