I adopted a pair of cats in the UK from a shelter and we were honest
about intending to keep them indoors. The RSPCA guy came for a home
visit and was quite interested to hear about indoor cats -- the idea
was clearly new to him -- but we explained more and he had no problem
with it and adopted the cats.

That surprises me. I'd like to believe you. but I don't. As much as I
don't like the RSPCA, I hope they won't ever adopt cats out for a totally
indoor home or I'll like them even less.
Cats are best indoor/outdoor. Outdoor for a bit of hunting mousies and
ratties and indoor when they prefer the bed by the fire.
I would not have a cat to keep it totally inside in the UK and I'm amazed
that the RSPCA have agreed.
