Meet Tabitha, an affectionate feline with a heart full of love. Tabitha may come off as a bit shy when you first meet her, but don't be fooled – she's just waiting to figure you out first. Once she feels comfortable, her warmth and playfulness truly shine.
She absolutely adores scratches and pats, and she will totally steal your heart when she starts purring contentedly under your gentle touch. Being food-driven, she's not one to shy away from treats; they’re truly the way to her heart!
Friendly by nature, Tabitha gets along well with those who allow her the time she needs to express her full personality. Her playful side comes out as she grows more comfortable, so expect lots of fun and interactive playtime once she settles in.
If you're looking to bring a sweet and engaging feline companion into your home, Tabitha could be the perfect match. She'll reward your kindness with endless affection, lots of love and companionship, and a sprinkle of her delightful playful antics.

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 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.
