About Horizon
💛 About Horizon
Horizon is a lively, outgoing cat with a big personality and an even bigger love for attention. This handsome boy is social, energetic, and always ready for fun, whether he's chasing toys, exploring his surroundings, or investigating where the treats are kept. Being food motivated certainly helps when it comes to making friends!
Horizon enjoys human company and actively seeks affection from the people he trusts. He loves pats and will happily come looking for attention when he's in the mood for some love. While he is affectionate and enjoys being close to his people, Horizon prefers to keep all four paws on the ground and does not enjoy being picked up or carried. When handled in a way he doesn't like, he may respond with a scratch or bite to communicate his boundaries.

Adoption details
Please do not apply to adopt via our animals' PetRescue profile.
Follow the links below to be directed to the Wollongong City Council website, and find your preferred animal's online profile.
Once in the online profile, scroll down and click the link to complete an adoption application. Once received, a member of our team will be in touch to discuss your application and suitability for your preferred animal.
If we deem the animal to be suitable for your home and lifestyle, an in-person meet and greet may be organised.
