Reputable rescues here require neutering--usually they have the cats microchipped and neutered before adopting them out; if a cat is adopted before neutering, the adopter is required to have the cat neutered. The adopter is also required to sign a contract agreeing not to have the cat declawed, and if the adopter can't keep the cat, it has to be returned to the rescue.
The first time I adopted through a rescue, I was surprised at the red tape--I had to provide references and answer questions about my home environment, and I had to agree to a home visit. And of course I had to pay an adoption fee.
