Unaltered males spray. It's what they do. They also are very territorial. It's hormonal. Why do you not want to neuter him?
A lot of cats with heart murmurs are altered. Just let the vet know. A good veterinary hospital should have a heart monitor and will use appropriate type and amount of anesthesia.

Chris,
He's an adult. Feral/stray, moved in last spring. He has a grade 2 or 3
heart murmur as well, and I'm hesitant to sedate him for surgery, if it
were an option.
I'd love to find him a home where he'd have other kitties to play with,
since he doesn't get along with my geriatric FIV kitty. She's struggling
with several problems and it's getting increasingly difficult to keep
the peace in the house.
