My sympathy for your loss.

Females make better indoor cats...They don't spray everything...Sorry for your loss

Male cats that were spayed early tend to not spray everything in sight.

I’m sorry for your loss. I just lost my 19 y/o Kitty. Hope you find the kitties you want.

Over the years I have had many MANY cats of both genders with up to six cats at one time. Only two cats have ever sprayed in the house. My current male, an Oriental Shorthair, that was neutered later in life, and my senior female mix who started doing it on the very rare occasion a few years back, in response to the Oriental invasion. Actually another Oriental Shorthair in the current mix has sprayed on rare occasion too, so I guess it was three cats. My understandign is that the Oriental type breeds are a bit more territorial.

I have an indoor male cat who's awesome. It seems there is a need for homes for them too. Both of my cats are allowed to go outside daily in my secured backyard.

I have not had good luck with indoor male cats, so I only have females. I don't ever let my girls out either, they are strictly indoors, no encounters with cars for them. They go in a crate in the car to go to the vet, I think they much prefer to stay at home.

My male cat doesn't spray inside I have seen him spray outside in our yard.

The trick for males is having them neutered before they are six months old. The vet should be able to figure out the correct phase. I have had many males cats over the years and only the older strays have had the problem of spraying their territory. I had to keep them out of the house and make a warm winter home for them outdoors. (Upstate New York woods).

I’ve had a male and female kitty duo for 30 years. Not the same two, but a rotating pair. No spraying ever. They all have been neutered or spayed.

Not if they are neutered young.

Also the spraying is usually in reaction to being territorial - such as having outdoor cats hanging around the house - or ferals.
If you don't have those - you may be problem free.

You could try petfinder.com to find what you are looking for. That's how I found my last kitty. Or ask a local rescue to keep an eye out for you.

Indoors is the best way to be in my area - due to coyotes and cars. My heart wouldn't survive.
So sorry for your loss. Glad you've opened your heart again.

Unfortunately, females can, too!

I lost far too many that way so my kitties are all indoor kitties. As long as boys are neutered young enough, they haven't sprayed here. Currently mine are girls, but have kept boys indoors too, without issue.
