No idea what the best course of action is, but you have my sympathies. Was it your cat, or some random foul creature whose territory you unwittingly pitched on?

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it

Try bicarbonate of soda.   

I can't guarantee that it wont damage the tent (but it has never damaged my carpet or furniture) Sprinkle it on and leave as long as you can, then just brush it off.   The smell should have gone, but if not just repeat.   

Good luck, it is a horrible smell!

You could try Simple Solution Stain and Odour Remover. A quick google and you'll probably find it in a number of places, but I know it's available from Pets At Home here

We've used it on all sorts including cotton but never on a tent so not quite sure how it will react. It suggests not using it on wool, leather or untreated wood.
