Meet Flik, the epitome of sweetness wrapped in a soft, fur-lined coat! Flik is an adorable, affectionate, and gentle cat whose heart is filled with love and companionship. His calm and laid-back nature makes him the perfect companion for anyone looking to share their home with a peaceful and loving feline friend.
Despite having faced challenges in the past, Flik has shown remarkable resilience and strength. He endured a tough time covered in bush ticks and needed extensive veterinary care, including a full-body shave. Thankfully, this gentle soul is now thriving and has recovered beautifully, ready to start a fresh chapter filled with love and happiness.
Flik is incredibly quiet and chilled, making him a wonderful fit for a calm home environment. He exhibits no signs of aggression, even maintaining his gentle demeanour during playtime. He's food obsessed, which makes mealtime a delightful affair for him and gives you plenty of opportunities to spoil him with his favourite treats.
Flik's presence is a calming influence, and his sweet affection will warm your heart instantly. Whether curled up beside you on the couch or quietly observing life from his favourite perch, Flik brings serenity and companionship to every moment. Invite this gentle soul into your life, and Flik will surely repay you with endless love and loyalty.

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.
