Hi everyone, my name is Louie
Although shy at first, this sweet kitty adores people and truly loves being close to his humans. Louie enjoys spending his time near you—whether that’s lying curled up beside you, sitting like a little sphinx nearby, or following you from room to room just to be part of the action.
Louie is affectionate and gentle, with a wonderfully comforting presence. He purrs often and happily soaks up pats and attention. In the mornings, before breakfast, he’ll let you know it’s mealtime by rubbing against your legs and giving you sweet head butts—his polite (and very effective!) way of saying he’s hungry.
He also has a playful, curious side and loves to burn off energy after meals by zooming around with small balls or toy mice. He could go to a home with older children who understand how to respect his space.
Louie is FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) positive, which simply means he’ll benefit from a loving indoor-only home where he can stay healthy and stress-free. Cats with FIV can live long, happy lives, especially when they’re well cared for and given a stable environment.
If you think Louie sounds like the perfect fit for your home, please fill out an expression of interest form. He is currently in foster care so meet and greets are by appointment only.

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
