The shelter in my current city (Baton Rouge) is making the move to being a no-kill. The dogs are pretty difficult, but the cats not so much. There's a number of local cat rescues who will take in kitties approaching their kill-date. Four local pet stores also have display cases that once upon a time were used for puppy-mill puppies, they rent out the space at cost of care and everyone who comes into the store gets to see them. Every Saturday the rest of the cats come for adoption events at the pet stores and a large kiosk in the local shopping mall. It sucks that a government agency has to rely on nonprofits to run efficiently, but it's working. They also practice trap-spay-release.
