I'm new this forum group so let me tell ya about my little babies before the help I need. Cloe is my first cat she is 7 she is my little miss queen bee. My second is yoda, shes two and a half, I know a weird name. She was found in my shop on the verge of death. she was about three weeks old and she also had a bot fly larvae in her leg, poor baby. So the next day went to the vet got her checked out and removed the bot fly larvae and the got a clean bill of health. She then ended up with several bladder issues later but that is doing ok now. The vet thought she was a male and my husband thought she looked like a white yoda so the name stuck then found out she a girl but couldn't change it
  Cloe being the queen bee of the house was not so welcoming of yoda so that caused a few problems. Cloe would chase her everywhere i felt so bad for her and she also started spraying and peeing on the carpet and walls. Went to the vet nothing wrong so I got the feliway diffusers. I have four in my house seems to be working. If they run out and I don't notice it starts all over again. we built yoda climbing step to get up away from her so now she feels safe. well that the most of the stories of my fur babies.

So now my delima. I'm losing sleep over this even though I take sleeping pills to be able to sleep. I call it it cause I'm not sure of the sex of it. So I have this really pretty or handsome cat. It has been begging for food several months now but I have been tuff in not feeding it, not easy!!!!!! Its also stuck his nose in the door when it was open. One day it came to my door meowing and it had blood on his scalp with fur and skin missing. So I had been watching it and feeding it for several days to make sure it didnt get infected. It healed up nicely. Thank Goodness.... Of course it now wants food all the time. It only comes at night to eats and then goes somewhere else. I placed and ad asking if it was anyone's cat got a few responses stating its been around there house since it was a kitten they its probably about two and a half now.. So I am assuming it doesn't have a home. After it eats it sprays around the house which I just cant have, My husband will flip out as well as my other cats, I'm not a fan of that either. I'm sure my cats will spray outside also just to claim there territory back.  It also sprays all over the other people houses too. I would like to catch it and have it checked out and spayed or neutered but Ive heard if its been doing it for awhile it has become a habit and getting it fixed may not help. I don't believe its ever been an indoor cat from what people are saying. It will eat its food with me sitting right in front of him and if yoda is out side it will turn its back to yoda so it doesn't seem scared of other cats. It seems like it has a family but everyone says no. If it does they sure don't seem to care about it. The other people are planning on catching it in a live trap and taking it to a shelter which being on its own for so long may not be able to be rehomed which breaks my heat because they might put it down. it seems so sweet but sprays. bad kitty!!!!
I'm afraid if I try to take it in it wont even know how to use a littler box and that he will keep spraying in the house also not sure if the other cats will except it and not spray too. Im really torn on what to do. I;m hoping someone might have a suggestions on what to do. It would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for it being so long but i just don't what to do. PLEASE HELP ME AND THE LITTLE FUR BABY!!!!!

I forgot to say if I was able to take it in I do not have a room I can keep him in for awhile because I'm scared of it spraying. I would put it in the bathroom which would be the most sensible but we just remodeled it and I still have to paint the wood and if it sprayed it would soak right into it.

Probably a tomcat if he's spraying that much.Yeah, females spray too but usually a cat that goes around marking multiple houses is an intact male. You're right that a shelter will probably kill him :(. Talk to the neighbors, see if they're willing to pool money and resources to get him neutered and vaccinated. Everybody will be happier and healthier then :D. He may not stop spraying entirely if it's become a habit but it should be much reduced and will definitely stink less.

Ask if any of the neighbors have a spare room they can keep him in while he recovers, otherwise see if the shelter/clinic has a large dog crate you can keep him in (maybe in the garage or other covered outdoor area if an indoor area isn't possible). A stray/feral tom only needs to be kept in for a day or two after neutering, some people even release them as soon as they're fully awake.

Are your girls spayed?

Yes they were both spayed as soon as they could....  Do you think the spraying will stop if he gets fixed or at least not as much?

Aw, he's a handsome dude. Like I said, the spraying might not stop entirely but it should at least decrease, and his pee won't stink as bad. And you might get lucky and he'll stop entirely. But no way to know until it's done!
