Adoption information
About Louie
Louie is a male Domestic Short Hair available for adoption in Erskineville, NSW 2043.
Louie is a young cat with a big personality and even bigger energy. He's confident, easy-going and always keen to be wherever the action is, especially if there's a game on offer. Around new people he takes a little time to size things up, then settles in and enjoys the company on his own terms.
A little about Louie:
🐾 Never turns down interactive play, and has a soft spot for climbing his cat tree
🐾 Loves napping tucked under a blanket, fully committed to getting comfortable
🐾 Chills out stretched flat on his back like he owns the place
🐾 Purrs happily and loves a good head scratch, even if lap time isn't really his thing
🐾 Curious and social, always keen to see what's happening and who's around
Louie's days mix solid nap time with enthusiastic bursts of play and plenty of exploring. He's happy to entertain himself when his people are busy, but always ready to drop everything for a game of interactive play. One of his favourite habits is loafing nearby to supervise whatever chore is happening around the house.
Louie shows love through quality time rather than lap time: he wants to be wherever you are, purring contentedly and following you from room to room. He's tolerant of touch and happy to be picked up, though cuddles on the lap aren't really his style. With people he hasn't met, he likes to take things slowly at first before deciding to join in.
Louie would thrive in an active household that can match his energy and give him plenty of playtime and things to explore. He's got on well with most cats he's met, so it's likely more about finding the right feline personality match than anything about Louie himself. A calm introduction to a confident cat, or being the only cat for now, would suit him well. He's still building up his experience with children and dogs, and the team is happy to talk through what a good match might look like.
As a playful, people-focused cat, he'll do best with a household that can offer him regular interactive play and company. A patient, considered introduction to any resident pets will help set him up for success.
Picture a lazy Sunday afternoon: Louie flat on his back on the rug, all four paws in the air, completely unbothered by the world. Or an evening play session, chasing his favourite toy across the floor before flopping down for a well-earned nap.
Louie is a cat who brings energy, curiosity and warmth to every day. He's ready for a home that wants an active, engaged companion, and he'll return the favour with plenty of purrs.

Adoption details
When enquiring about a pet listed with Home2Home, your enquiry goes directly to the pet’s guardian—the person who knows them best!
From here, the guardian will be in touch to learn more about you and chat with you about their pet. It’s a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the pet, including its likes and dislikes, needs, and how it may fit into your lifestyle and family.
If your home and lifestyle match the pet's needs, the next step will be arranging a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is happy to proceed with a formal adoption.
Following the adoption, change of ownership paperwork will be completed, and proof of vaccination, microchipping, and desexing (if applicable, as indicated on the listing) will be provided.
All pets adopted through Home2Home will require an adoption contract to be signed and an adoption fee to be paid. The pet’s guardian will complete the adoption contract with you and provide a link to PetRescue’s secure payment portal for completing the adoption fee payment.
Home2Home currently operates a ‘pay what you choose’ system for cat adoption fees. This means that adopters will be able to choose an adoption fee amount that is suitable for them. All adoption fees are used to support PetRescue's life-saving programs, including Home2Home.
