Does anyone in the triangle area know of a non-kill shelter for animals, or cats in general? I am going to adopt out my three grown cats: ages 7, 4, 2. I need to find a...

There's a place on Durant Rd. in Raleigh called Cat Haven or something like that. I've never actually been in there, but judging by the name of the place I'd say they take decent care of cats.

Yes, there are many. Any vet should be able to provide you with an exhaustive list. One that I know if is [Independent Animal Rescue](http://www.animalrescue.net/). When looking into this in the summer, I was told by every one of the organizations on the list I was given by my vet that the spring was very productive and that there were no openings anywhere. Best of luck, though. It's also funny that you first asked about animals and then the more specific 'cats in general.'

I work at a vet clinic and we will occasionally take in cats to adopt out. We already have 4 cats we are trying to find homes for so we unfortunately cannot take anymore but I would try contacting other clinics in the area! I'm very sorry you have to go through this, giving up a pet is so difficult. Good luck! edit: If you have a flyer with their pictures/pertinent info on it I'd be more than happy to post it at work for you. You could also email it out to other vet clinics/rescues/friends/etc and hopefully find a new home for them or at the very least a foster home.

Since no one has suggested it yet, have you checked with [Second Chance](http://www.secondchancenc.org/)? I adopted a kitten from there about a year ago, and it was a wonderful experience. Their facility is great and their staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Why would you get rid of them?

Independent Animal Rescue is a great organization, I haven't been involved with them in a while, but as of two years ago they were always way over-capacity for taking in cats. The Durant Rd shelter mentioned is, I believe, Safe Haven. They're no-kill, don't know what their capacity is like though. Out of curiosity, how much time do you have before they have to go? Is it at all feasible that you and your boyfriend would be able to find a place of your own anytime soon? I ask because the way IAR works, at least, is that the cats stay in foster homes until they are adopted out, so if you can make a commitment to take them back, you might be able to find someone who's willing to foster, but not adopt your cats. Best of luck, and my condolences for being in this situation.

[Cat Angels](http://catangelsnc.org/) in Cary is no kill. I adopted a kitten from there about a year ago.

I don't know of any, but my gf would. Posting so I remember to ask her later. Hope your search goes well!
