Fledgling Blackbird

[NightFury06]

My friends cat brought in a fledgling blackbird and, having no experience with birds, she took it to me.
I cannot see any visible wounds, it is hopping and chirping in no obvious pain. I gave it some rehydrated mealworms and banana, which it ate.
My question is; what is the next step? My friend cannot keep her cats indoors, so if I take the bird back (it doesn’t seem able to fly yet) it will unfortunately probably not last long. I could release it into my own garden, which has fewer cats, but then it would have no parents, so would I have to keep feeding it? It doesn’t seem to be able to feed itself either.
Are there any other options, and what would be the best course of action?
Any replies would be very welcome, thank you!

Can you take it to a wildlife rehabilitation center?

It’s too late to call them now, but I can try tomorrow, and see if they will take him, or if they suggest anything else?

Yes, they may know a way to safely reunite him with his parents. For now I would keep him inside in a warm, quiet room.

If it made it through the night, it would be best to find a wildlife rehabilitation center for it as it is protected under US law and illegal to keep even if you're just helping it out.
