Hi,

Can I comfortably use the pronoun 'them' to refer to things not human?

Do you have both names? Please give them to me.

Do you like to have these pets? Yes, I would like to raise them.

Do you have their addresses? Please give them to me.

  You certainly can. Your examples are fine in using the pronoun to substitute for the nouns.
