Kitten advice needed

Our last few cats were let outdoors. Depending on what neighborhood you live in, the outdoor cats, especially the males< are territorial and fight a lot. Our last 2 were good sized cats with all the claws. They still came home all beat up requiring numerous trips to the vet to get pasted back together. $$$$$$
