Squirrel~We Named Him Nutter

I was watching Lost last night on Netflix and I kept hearing a squeaking noise... The A/C kicked off and I kept hearing it thinking...CRAP we must have mice or something.
Well much to my surprise; I followed the squeak and found that it was coming from outside and so I went to investigate.

Well to my surprise it was a baby squirrel that the outside cat was just sitting there batting around playing with it. Had no intentions of killing it, but playing with it.

So I of course took it in and decided to try and nurse it back to health.

He made it to the morning and was just fine. I called a vet to see what I should do and was referred to a lady in the area that takes in these animals(they consider them wild) and she continued to tell me that it is ILLEGAL to keep a squirrel in your home. Needless to say; we took him to the lady in town and she is going to nurse him back to health and then eventually release him.

I am excited for him, yet sad that he had to go; but I know that its for the best.
We are going to keep contact till he is released and receive pictures and whatnot.
We took a few of our own at home as well...

Update: Sadly Nutter didnt make it through the night last night! He passed away due to the enjuries that he recieved from the pesky cat that was playing with him.
