My daughter has put feral cats into my neighbours house and my side shed!?

WOW call animal control and ask for help in removing them all. Tell your daughter that she will be cleaning the neighbors house and furniture and while you might have to pay for enzyme cleaner to get the smell out and paint or wallpaper she will have to pay you back with her allowance, Birthday and Christmas gifts. She will get what you would have bought her in money which will go directly to you. Maybe the neighbors insurance will pay for the repairs but then find some community service fo her to do. Work at the shelter as a volunteer every weekend for months and months. When the neighbor comes home she needs to help her with chores, cutting grass, or whatever.

I would make it a long punishment that will make her think a dozen times before she does something stupid again.

The thought of what feral cats can do to a house is to big to picture.

I don't know how old she is but she is old enough to think this up she must be in her teens and should know better.

I am so sorry for you. Have a cup of tea, calm down and when you are done calling for help and talking to the neighbor buy a big box of chocolates and if you drink a good bottle of wine and go home and chill out and do not share the chocolate with your daughter.

Sure would like to know how this is settled. You can email me or I will die of curiosity .

Call Animal control to get the cats. Call a commercial cleaning company to do the best they can with the house. Ground daughter indefinitely. You need time to discuss this with her, her father, perhaps a counselor. Hopefully you and the neighbor will still be friends. This will cost money. The daughter needs to have some serious talk with several people. I can not understand a person able to do the deed actually continuing to carry through. She should have seen the damage. I can understand the shed, but the neighbors house is really out of bounds. The age of the daughter will mean a lot but you are ultimately responsible. How did the daughter get the key? I hope she is less than six. The county will be happy to be rid of that many feral and stray cats. Stay calm, ask for help. See her church if there is one.

Call Ac to get the feral cats removed.

Talk to your daughter and ground her, take away the TV and everything like that and hire a professional cleaning company since you really do not want to be touching the feces of feral cats since they carry all kinds of diseases and parasites. Many of which humans can get.

Try to get her to understand that feral cats carry all kinds of diseases and parasites and that they damage property and kill native wild life and how wrong she was for putting them in the shed and the neighbors house.

Apologize to the neighbor and do what you can to prevent her from doing something like that again.

Tell the neighbor your really sorry and stuff and as for your daughter, ask her why. Tell her she knew it was wrong and tell her to go appologize. Ground your daughter for a week. Only a week though because she was just trying to help. Maybe take her to a local shelter and have the person explain what they do. If she does find cats then take them to the shelter. Good luck :/

Tell your neighbor you're sorry and help clean up the feces and/or fix some stuff if fixable. Maybe, if you can afford it, tell her you'll pay for some of the damages. As for your daughter, take a deep breath and try and calm yourself. She's probably feeling awful right now and wants to apologize but, one, she knows you'll just yell at her some more (raising your voice is yelling when you're a kid who made a mistake that made your parents mad. Seriously, just be a little more understanding.); two, she knows that won't fix anything. You need to remember that as well, your daughter can't go back in time and stop herself from doing what she did. It's done, move forward. Seriously, I'm thirteen and the position your daughter's in SUCKS. If I was in a position like that, I would want nothing more than my parents to say "It's okay, we know you only meant to help; we forgive you. But you can't do that again, you have to know that what you did was wrong [ect., ect.]" And say it with a voice that says the same thing, so often parents will say it while their voice is still saying that they're mad. MAKE YOUR VOICE SAY THE SAME THING THE WORDS ARE SAYING.

Edit: I want to KILL Bonnie Angel right now. Every kid my age knows how it feels to try and help someone out but makes a mistake and it back-fires on them and then they beg for forgiveness and people continue to scream at them and punish them and they're in their room crying wishing to go back in time and take it back, BUT THEY CAN'T. Bonnie Angel, you say your daughter still makes you pull your hair out? I'm surprised she's still talking to you, if I had a parent that made me feel like a killed a person everytime I made a mistake as a kid I wouldn't EVER talk to her after I got out of the house. I don't care if I don't get BA anymore, I'm a kid who knows how it feels to be treated like this and I will STATE MY MIND and stand up for it. Bonnie Angel probably doesn't know how it feels to be in that situation, her daughter's 45 so she's probably old as DIRT. Can't you even imagine if you try to help out your parents and you accidently do something wrong and they keep YELLING at you and on top of that take away your allowance and birthday/Christmas gifts and EVEN MORE??? She's telling you she's sorry why won't you be a parent everyone wants and ACTUALLY FORGIVE YOUR CHILD RIGHT AWAY FOR MAKING A MISTAKE??

I would call the humane society or something to go get the cats first of all. Tell them what's up and they might do something about it.
