ES No life should live on the streets.
We help cats and communities find harmony with responsible and scientifically proven methods since 2022.
In the year 2022 alone, we neutered 290 cats, fostered 70 and rehomed 60 in the area.
Only donations make this work possible, so please
meet raca.
About Us
Riviera Abandoned Cats Association is a licensed non-profit association in Mijas, Málaga, Spain. We take action to care for and control the local community cat populations. We have been doing this work since 2022. Our charity license number in Spain is 14333.
We are dedicated to caring for and controlling cats populations through TNR, feeding, medical care and public education.
Trap – Neuter – Return
TNR is the only scientifically consistent way to keep street cat populations under control. Relocation, mass killing or any other way does not provide the same long-term help as new cats will always arrive due to a vacuum effect.
Fostering and Adoption
Many street cats are home cats that have been abandoned by humans for whatever reason and would love to be in a loving home rather than on the streets. We provide them that opportunity.
Feeding and Medical Care
Our volunteers make sure the cat populations are fed regularly and cared for in case of illness or trauma. This ensures that cats don’t wander to human habitats in the search for food, harm other wildlife and spread diseases to others.

Proven track record for last year alone (2022)
Help Us Help Communities
You might think that the local town hall is caring for the problem responsibly and consistently, since the root cause of street cats is the citizens, humans – but they are not. The only reason cat populations are controlled today is because of small groups of volunteers like us and caring people who value our work and donate whether they love cats or not.
Please take a moment to donate so we can continue our work – even the smallest donation helps. Thank you!
DONATE
Donations are the lifeline for the activity to continue since, unfortunately, neutering and food are not free. There are several ways to donate: PayPal, Bizum, IBAN bank transfer and our Amazon wishlist.
SPONSOR A STREET CAT
Help any cat you desire from our colonies, all of them deserve love.
VOLUNTEER
There are many ways to get involved even if you don’t live in the area! We need help trapping, feeding, social media and content, medical care, fundraisers, photography and a variety of other tasks that eventually very directly help the cats.
Where do donations go?
01
Food
A majority of our expenses are for cat colony food supplies, around 65%. It’s not that they are being fed gourmet meals, there are just a lot of mouths to feed.
02
Medical Care
Our second largest expense is medical care, around 25%. This covers all neuterings, flee and other infestation care, but also detected illnesses and trauma
03
Equipment and Transport
Our third largest expense is equipment and transport, 10%. Trapping and neutering a cat is not just a case of grabbing one with gloves on. Transport is needed for neuterings, other vet visits and roadkill care.
