Right now is a really tough time for cats, adult cats in particular. People are falling on hard times and the shelters and rescues are full of relinquished animals. Some of the groups I work with around here have long lists of people trying to get their animal into a shelter vs the pound. It is all really very sad. Almost daily were are being called to a home or rental to assist with an abandoned animal. Good luck to you.
You may find some luck with Petfinder or craigslist--just remember to post them for higher than research animals are going for in you area. Here they pay $35 for a research animal. Also, any animal that is microchipped is not supposed to be used for research.

I've seen some great outdoor caged in areas built to keep cats. They are very easy and economical to make--just a few nails, hinges, corner plates and wired fence. It's an option to keep them safe.
