Quick, help - advice please?

My horrid cat brought in a tiny baby chick which is still just about alive. It still has its eyes closed and fused, but barely any feathers. Once I realised it was shocked but had little damage, I placed it on a kitchen towel left it in a safe, warm spot indoors. I honestly don't know what to do. Any advice please?Quick, help - advice please?
call the RSPB they will come and take it away and look after itQuick, help - advice please?
it will die very soon as they dont live once cat had them they die with shock
Unless you know where the nest is, it'll most definately die. Try and make it a little comfortable by putting it in a box with kitchen towel and let it go peacefully. Unless you know what your doing rearing chicks is very hard.


Try not to let your cat out for a few days if you can as it'll go straight back to the nest( that's if it hasn't already wrecked the nest).


Your cat isn't horrid, it's just being natural. Thank your lucky stars it was only a baby bird it brought you. Mine brought me a live baby rat in the house. It took me about half an hour to catch it.
There's nothing that can be done to save the chick so give it back to the cat.
I agree with delany and nik 2..........
i had this with my cat! we got a cardboard bow and put a warm hot water bottle in and put a towl over the top to make it snug. in the box was some water and food. you could give it mashed potatoe or bread soaked in slightly warm milk. which we gave ours. it survived. get some advice from rspb if ur planning to look after it but dont give it to them because they almost always put it down. hope this helps!
When I worked for animal rescue, we were told to offer moist scrambled egg (you can make this in a few seconds in the microwave) in a little syringe to baby birds that people brought in following finding them isolated in shock. We had to do this every few hours through the night but the birds always died. (The public were actually advised to not bring them in, but leave them where they found them.)


I think you've done the right thing; offer the food if you feel inclined. I'm sorry that I can't be of more help, but I thought I should reply with my limited experience, as you hadn't any other answers and it's too late for getting help from an animal hospital unless you have one nearby.
just let it go....if not...some potatoes..n peas...would be nice....
Your horrid cat is giving you a prezzie... so I've heard people say ?
pop it under a light, a normal desk lamp will do and try and keep it warm, not too close you don't want to fry it, it might just survive but it's been pretty traumatised but with a bit of warmth it might just bounce back, if it does begin to respond make sure it has water and food, good luck.
i work with wildlife, u can ring me on 01353 727740
what does this have to do with fish?
sometimes u just have to let natur take it corse


other than leaving it out side (which may let its mother find it) or phoning the rspb they can tae it and rear it back to heath unless its in too much shock





it amy nit suvive this..
i think it will probably die anyway from the shock especially if its tiny it wont live long sorry,the cat was only doing what cats do!! you could try feeding it some worms etc and keeping it warm but even if it did survive it wouldnt be able to fend for itself in the wild
Do you have a vocational agriculture department at your local high school or 4H department? I am a veteran FFA member although I am not a poultry expert. Keep the chick warm and bring it to a local farm, vet. or FFA group.
Find the nest it came from and put it back
You should give him to a professional person so they can raise him and (hopefully)release him back in the wild when he reachs adult hood





A$H!
If you are going to be keeping this chick, and not taking it to tour local Human Shelter. Put it in a towel with some kind of heat lamp. Go to a local Bait shop and buy you some worms, they eat them, or you could just try to find where you think it came from, and take it back. It is a good possibilty that the people house that it came from are neighbors of some sort.
