Need help with a Baby Squirrel.?

Was quite windy out today. I believe a baby squirrel blew out of it's nest somehow. Out outside kitty found it. I got it away from him. Is there anyone ( vets, conservation centers etc.) who will take care of the baby or knows how to take care of a baby squirrel? I hate to see anything happen to the little thing.

you should use esbilac formula. you'd be best off locating a wildlife rehabber who has had experience rehabbing baby squirrels before. if you can't find someone, join a forum (such as the squirrel board) where i'm sure you can get a lot of great advice. good luck!Need help with a Baby Squirrel.?
It would be just like taking care of a baby kitten or puppy. Go to the pet store where they sell uni-milk that is for all baby animals. Feed with a small bottle every two hours. You will also need some Q-Tips. Wet the Q-Tip with warm water and rub the private areas so that he can be stimulated to use the bathroom. This will be just like the mother when they clean their babies. Make sure after he uses the bathroom to wipe it away with a damp warm cloth. You do not want to make them to wet so that he does not get cold. It would also be wise to to use a red heat lamp to keep him warm especially since You only have one. DO not have it too close though or the baby will get to hot. It is very important that when you feed him you make him have bowel movement or he will die. I have raise squirrels before and puppies this way.
take him to a vet....not a war vet
