None of the shelters or adoption agencies near me will even let you get a cat if you don't say it will be kept indoors on the papers. Cats can easily be given the same level of enrichment indoors by playing with them.
Keeping your cat indoors is only cruel when you don't care enough about them to play and provide enrichment to make them happy, in which case you shouldn't have a cat.
