I would recommend getting a boy.
I foster for Siamese Rescue and they have placed close to 3000 cats, and they have the most success with mixed gendered households.
There is something about two female cats with 5 years of age.

I listened to them when I wanted a 3rd male, and I got a female instead. We couldn't have a happier household.

Healthwise- a document of FeLV/FIV NEG/NEG is the first thing I want to see.
I want to know if any siblings or mama cat have died of anything while in the shelter. (looking for panleuk-distemper or FIP)

No bald spots on head or arms (for ringworm) This can be resolved, but you really don't want ringworm in your house, it is transmittable to humans (weak immunity)

Best of luck getting your new addition.

Never heard how your cat with the dire-rear worked out.
