I cant adopt a cat

But in males, I don't think fixing them has anything to do with their health at all.

Actually, here's what I've found and heard of from every vet I've been to:

"Prevents enlarged prostate (occurs in 60% of older dogs); prostate tumors and infections; and perineal hernias and tumors in males."

"Avoids health risks including pyometra (uterus infection) in females, orchitis (testicular infection) and prostatitis (prostate infection) in males and some skin disorders
Is at a greatly lower risk of mammary cancer and prostate cancer and at no risk of ovarian and testicular cancer"

So there are health risks for male dogs.

And even if the shelter didn't have a problem with the dog being neutered they wouldn't let them adopt the cat anyways because they keep them as outdoor/indoor animals.

Why don't you have one of your friends go in there to adopt the kitten that doesn't have any other animals or has all of their animals fixed. Then he can just give you the kitten as a "present"?

That would be illegal. (1) People are not allowed to adopt an animal as a gift to another person if they don't live in the same house. (2) In respects to the first, people are not allowed to give away the animal without the shelter's consent. You can get in a lot of trouble if anyone finds out or if anyone finds the cat just roaming around so I wouldn't suggest you do that.

EDITED TO INCLUDE: "Many humane shelters and veterinarians are starting to neuter male animals at a younger age, even 6-14 weeks of age. This early neutering does not affect the growth rate, and there are no appreciable differences in skeletal, physical, or behavioral development between those animals neutered early than those neutered at a more traditional age. It must be remembered that younger animals may need different anesthetics and are more prone to hypothermia (lower than normal body temperature) during surgery. As long as procedures are modified to account for these differences, early neutering is very safe. In fact, animals neutered at a younger age often have faster recoveries than those neutered when they are older."
