Meet Margo, a shy yet sweet young adult cat with a gentle heart. Initially hesitant, Margo is learning how to love and trust, having blossomed beautifully over her time in foster care. By her side is her playful and affectionate kitten, Josie, who has inherited her mother's beautiful eyes and lovely temperament. They are deeply bonded, and we are looking for a loving new family to welcome both of them into their home.

Margo and Josie's journey is a testament to the strength of family and the comforting power of companionship. With her nurturing instincts intact, Margo feels more at ease when Josie is nearby, and together, they create an endearing duo that melts hearts. Margo may start off in a corner, but with some gentle love and patience, she'll soon come to a lap for a snuggle and show you how she really feels.

Their shared moments are filled with mutual grooming, playfulness, and exploring every corner of their surroundings. Josie's social and playful nature becomes even more radiant as she encourages her mom to join in the fun.

Margo's dream home is one that provides an abundance of love and a quiet space for her personality to continue to blossom. By adopting Margo and Josie, not only will you be welcoming two wonderful companions into your life, but also joining them on a delightful journey as they grow and explore the world together. Take the chance to become part of Margo and Josie's story as these special cats continue to flourish.

Note: Margo is a paired animal with Josie. While they can be adopted separately, they'd love an owner who can take both of them.

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.
