Locations come from OpenStreetMap, © its contributors, under the ODbL licence · downloaded on 23 September 2026. We have removed the pounds and shelters that only take in dogs, and the linked websites lead, where there is one, to their cat section. Phone numbers and websites that OSM does not have are taken from each organisation’s own website or from its town council’s, so if anything has changed, go by what their website says. Is one missing or is something wrong? “Suggest a correction” fixes it on the map, and it will show up here in the next update.

WallamascotasA noticeboard of cats for adoption from private owners and associations.Cat colonies: your town council’s programme
Since Law 7/2023, cats that live on the street are “community cats”, and managing them is the town council’s job: a census, neutering (the TNR method: trap, neuter and return, known in Spain as CER) and authorised carers. If you have spotted a colony, want to look after one, or have found a kitten that cannot go back to the street, start here.
Before you adopt: what the law requires in Navarre
Spain’s animal welfare law, Law 7/2023, sets the common minimum for the whole country; each region also has its own law and register, and each town council its own bylaws.
The national law requires every cat to be identified with a microchip and neutered before six months of age, except those registered as breeding animals with a registered breeder (art. 26). It bans the sale of cats in pet shops: only registered breeders may sell them (art. 27), and it does not allow a pet to be left unsupervised for more than three days in a row. Public centres must hand animals over for adoption identified, with a contract, and neutered or with a commitment to have it done (art. 23). In Navarre, Foral Law 19/2019 on the protection of companion animals also applies, and the microchip is recorded in the Navarre Companion Animal Identification Register (RIACNA). It requires cats to be identified and entered in the register within five working days. Neutering. Compulsory for cats that may have uncontrolled contact with others (art. 6). Cat colonies. Managed by town councils with the TNR method (art. 17). If the cat you adopt comes from a rescue, they or your vet will usually take care of transferring the microchip registration into your name.

Every link in this guide was checked one by one on 17 October 2026, and the rescues were also checked
to confirm that they really have cats for adoption. They are external websites with no connection to this
project: rescues change websites and close down, so if you find a broken link, let us know. Always check
that the organisation is registered, and be wary of anyone who hands over a kitten without a contract,
without a microchip or “without papers” in exchange for money.
