Hi All,
I just found a baby mousebird(from what I could get off google) ... the neighbours cat had him in his mouth and I resqued him ... but I have no idea what to feed him let alone how to take care of him ... but really want to help and give this lil guy a chance in life ... he was very stressed out at first but I held him and gave him some water he is calmed down now and sleeping in n box with a blanket ... please help (South Africa)

I would try to find a rehab near you. Even with no visible wounds, cat saliva is incredibly toxic and can lead to major infections.
