Q: what possible to do with neighbor when a bad cats smell all the time comes from her house to ours?
Complain comes from all neighbors, not just us. Several months ago about 40 cats was taken from her . She was forced to throw 2 dumpsters of garbage. But still not enough. My mom started to get asthma attacks. It looks like she thinks she did enough and there is nothing else she is going to do. We pay double bills on heating because need to have windows open. The smell comes in waves through the ventilation system. Our houses are semiattached.
A: You can sue for nuisance and trespass. Do you own or rent? If you rent, your landlord should handle this. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue.

A: File complaints with animal enforcement and/or the health department. Suing is expensive, and it's not the type of case someone will take on a contingent fee basis.
