You can use this on your animals: https://www.amazon.in/Vets-Best-Mosquito-Repellent-8oz/dp/B01987CT1I/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=vets+best+mosquito&qid=1584481682&sr=8-1 You can use any human ones on yourselves but just be sure to apply/spray them outdoors as to not irritate the cat's nose.

Anything you apply to his nose will be licked off. This is not recommended. There are several feline friendly products, but be sure to NOT use products containing DEET or permethrins on your cat. It is always prudent to check with your veterinarian before using any product or medication on your pet. Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk. Try to keep Onew inside during these times. Check your yard for standing water which serves as mosquito breeding grounds. Consider placing bat boxes or bat houses on your property to draw bats in. They eat large numbers of mosquitoes every night.
