About Belle
Meet Belle 🐾
Belle is a beautiful 1-year-old Domestic Short Hair with a striking calico coat and a petite frame to match. While she may not be the first cat to rush over for pats, those willing to invest a little patience and understanding will discover a gentle soul who simply needs time to feel safe and secure.
Belle is a shy and anxious young cat who can find new environments and unfamiliar situations overwhelming. Rather than reacting aggressively, her instinct is to retreat and seek a quiet place where she feels protected. Because of this, Belle will thrive with adopters who understand that trust takes time and who are happy to let her settle in at her own pace.
Once she begins to feel comfortable, Belle has every opportunity to build a strong and lasting bond with her people. She is litter trained and would be best suited to a calm household where her confidence can grow gradually without excessive noise or activity.
Belle's Ideal Home
Quiet and predictable household
Patient adopters willing to let her settle at her own pace
A safe indoor environment with hiding spots and cosy resting areas
Owners committed to building trust through gentle, positive interactions
A home that understands shy cats need time to blossom

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.
