Called APL but they don't take in wildlife and I don't want to call pest control cause it's not a pest. I just wanted somewhere in cleveland ohio that I could drop off the baby rabbit and they would take care of it and put it back into the wild.

Here's some great positive and helpful advice for you to read and put into action -

Quoted from the first article -
"If it is over six and a half inches long from tail to nose, re-release it where it was found The mother is still near by. Some are better relocated to a safer place free of cats, dogs and children. The exceptions are rabbits with bite punctures from cats or dogs or lawnmowers. They really need to see a veterinarian ..." ... if your cat's teeth have broken the bunn's skin, it needs veterinary care to stop it dying from an infection. Otherwise, its mother might be looking for it. Just click above for more info.
Very, very best of luck.

Actually if the baby rabbit is not hurt I would just put it back outside. Many people try to "save" baby rabbits but actually a baby rabbit can live on it's own at just a few weeks of age.
Check out this website for someone that was in a similar predicament. I am sure it will help you.

I do not know the answer to your question. But, I found this real life story to be funny. Let the cat raise the rabbit. Maybe it will turn into a jack rabbit and defend your house when it gets older.

Take the baby rabbit outside, and turn it loose. Then keep the cat inside for a few days.
Baby rabbits can survive on their own despite being very young. Our cats did this several times, and we just put them back where we thought the cat found them. We would see the rabbits often afterwards.

call your local animal shelter and don't let the cat near the rabbit the cat will kill it if it has the chance. call the local zoo if there is nothing elas around. take a good look at the rabbit to see if it is hurt if not then let it go it will find it's way home.

Call the local shelter and see who will they use for wild life rehab. You can also do a search for wildlife sanctuaries in cleveland.

Sometimes vet clinics will take them in to fix a problem if it has one. Rabbits go into shock easily though, make sure it isn't in shock and then when it feels better let it go, unless it is a newborn and needs the care..call a vet.

Most vets will take in abandoned animals, treat them and either find homes for them or find appropriate place to send the animals. Just tell the vet what happened and if he can make arrangements for the rabbit.
