Its in shock....you can trying putting in a shoe box...with some food (lettuce). I had to do this over night for a baby bunny and it was fine the next day...just in total shock. Make sure you put in room or garage away from the cat! Good luck!

And that's why I don't like cats....anyway, here's the answer:
What If the Baby Bunny Is Injured?
Either call or take him to your local humane society or animal shelter/animal control. Call first as often they will come pick up the baby. If they don't have a wildlife center, they will refer you. If after hours, contact a local emergency rabbit vet or Rabbit Veterinarian.
The best thing you can do for an injured wild baby bunny is to get in touch with a skilled rehabilitator.
Great info on local rehabilitators can be found at The Wildlife Rehabilitation Information Directory
-Also, keep the bunny warm, but not TOO warm. Buns do well in temps about 70ish degrees. Over 85 is too hot for them.
Hope that helps!

See if there is a wild life sanctuary in your area. My dad has hit man a rabbits with his weedwhacker and luckily we have one close to us. Make sure they are in a box with a blanket and thats its dark. When Animals are in pain the want to feel secure and be in a dark area. It may turn out that the animal is to badly hurt to be saved, but at least they can put the baby out of its misery. Do not bring it to a humane society, as most do not have Vets on hand.

When my cat brings in half-dead prey I make him take it back outside, where he usually eats it. That might sound harsh, but cats ARE predators, and were it not for the cats around here, my place would be overrun with gophers, rats, shrews, moles, mice -- and yes, rabbits. All these animals have large litters often precisely because they are the food of so many predators.

Take the rabbit away from your cat and take it to a vet. He might wind up putting it down if it's a hopeless case but at least the rabbit won't suffer.

my cat has done this often which I hate, I put a blanket in a box and put it on the blanket and rubbed it to calm and relax it but it died in the morning...its nothing you can do, a vet wont and cant do anything with it becuase its a wild animal and probably beyond saving. just try to make it as comfortable as possible

You should bring it to the animal control center or shelter if you cant handle it. But if you can, try fixing it up, give it a spot to lay on and feed it until the morning then call the animal shelter.

JeNe is right. Don't just leave it. Take it to a vet and let it me put out of its pain. Ignore all the rude people who answered! And whatever you do don't let your cat see it!

This is exactly what happened to me. All living things dont want to die, so you shpuld feed, and do whatever you can do to make it comfortable, and that is as much as you can do. This happened to one of my chickens, and it coyuld not hold up its head- now it is back on its feet, but she still is blind, and has beak problems, she is doing well. I hope this helps. Good luck.
