Alaska is a charming feline with a delightful personality that's sure to win your heart.

This curious and cuddly kitty is adjusting well to her foster home, and her captivating nature is already shining through. Alaska’s insatiable curiosity leads her to explore her surroundings, often finding cozy spots to nap and intriguing places to watch the world go by—windowsills being among her favourites.

A quirky note from her foster care experience is Alaska's preference for sleeping spots other than her bed—she's the kind of cat who values variety in her lounging locales.

Alaska is house-trained and has a healthy appetite as well as no issues with using her litter tray.

This playful furball is still discovering the joy of toys, but kneading and scratching are part of her repertoire, adding to her endearing character.

If you're in search of a loving and curious feline friend, Alaska could be the perfect match for you! She promises to bring warmth and companionship into her new home, and she's eagerly waiting to meet the loving family she deserves.

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 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.
