Hey guys.
I'm in a bit of a tight spot here, I would like to get some advice here.
So today my cat has brought a baby sparrow to my door, it didn't have any visible injuries but it was breathing really rapidly and wasn't moving at all, at first I didn't know what to do, I tried to look for the nest nearby but couldn't find any so I went outside and laid him in a bush near a tree, I didn't think it would survive given the condition it was in, but then about 7 hours later my cat brings back the baby sparrow to my door, I have no idea how my cat found it again.. This time I was really worried about the sparrow, it was still breathing rapidly and it wasn't opening it's eyes, so I didn't want to repeat what I did last time and I couldn't just release it in the wild, and I also can't take it to the vet because they don't deal with them. I put him in a shoebox and put some water and since I am in no condition to give him worms or food that is required I just crumbled some cookies and left the leftovers next to it. So the second time she brought him back was 4 hours ago. Now it's 2 AM, I don't know anything about birds and I'm not even sure if it's a baby, it's feathered with only some spots around the neck revealing, and all these 4 hours it's been in the shoebox it didn't even try to eat or drink anything I've put there, it's only been standing in one spot with it's head tucked down, eyes closed and rapid breathing, also it's feathers look ripped or greasy, it also would move it's head in it's feathers and would occassionaly reposition itself, now I have no idea what to do with the sparrow, I've ripped a white t-shirt and put it around him because even though it's summer, it can get pretty cold overnight. I would like some advice on this topic, thanks
