Awesome, sounds like Rocket is going to be ok, thanks to you and your wife.
I had a red squirrel get hit by a car out here years ago and a couple days later, two little ones showed up on the lawn. They were small enough that they didn't have any fear and let me pick them up. I fed them and probably shouldn't have, but I kept them as pets. They were cool little buggers, but they had that red squirrel attitude. Once in a while they'd hear something in the middle of the night and start chattering. You think that's loud in the woods, you should hear it in the house at 3 AM. LOL

He's still kicking and he's coming around a bit moving around a lot too the little bugger has teeth starting might be why Mama tossed him out ! LOL
Picked up some milk replacer for him as we drink 2% and that might lack the fat he needs, they don't have small packets so you have the buy the quart "crazy cat lady size" that would feed a 100 cats for a month. Should be interesting seeing him grow up.
