My son has seen him on the roof of our house several times
at night. Last week my son went up on the roof to do some
repairs and he found droppings from the opossum. He said
it was a mess to clean up. It is also eating the food we leave out for the wild cats that hang around our property.

first of all - the food left out is what attracted him. and if you want to get rid of him in the shed - place some moth balls in there. Animals do not like the smell that is given off by them and it will keep him from the shed. The opossum will continue to hang out as long as the food for the wild cats is there, he is hungry too!!! :)

You can get a humane trap and move the opossum. If you stop feeding the wild kitties, you will maybe not have an opossum visiting you anymore...
Good luck!

you put food out for wild animals..... unfortunately you cannot choose which wild animals come to the scent of the food.
maybe put the food closer to the house or on a platform the cats have to jump up to, say 4 ft, but something the opossum can't get up on. remember, they are smart so make sure he can't just push it over or something.

stop leaving food out for a while, thats whats making it stay.
if you scare it, they play dead so that could be useful.
but they are also VERY dangerous.
you could set up one of those cages that has the trap door
but you might catch a cat.
no big deal, just let the cat go and keep trying.
or just set up a few cages and check them a few times a day.

So stop leaving out food, they can't tell it's only for cats.
You can call animal control; they have humane traps.
