The answer

Cat urine and feces are impure according to the majority of scholars, and whatever they touch must be purified. There is no objection to neutering a cat if it results in a recognized legitimate benefit or averts harm. An example of such a benefit is the need for the cat to drive away mice. If there is no such need, then it is preferable to keep the cat away from the house.
