Hi Kim,
What area do you live in? Maybe you can get in touch with a wild care center in
your area or take him to an Avian vet and see if you can't bring him to wellness
and release him back in your yard?
I also reccommend that you either keep you cats indoors or take down the bird
feeder. It's like an open kitchen to your cats. Also there are health
benefits to having your cats indoors as well.
Others on the group may have some more information. For lots of advice and
information, I also recommend you go online to a Pigeon and Dove community at:

Thanks for helping the little dove:)
All My Best,

I moved him into a small cage I have. He can fly I think (he flew around the
bathroom) but I think his foot is broken, he is dragging it behind him when he
walks on the bottom of the cage. I covered the cage with towels on three sides
to reduce the stress
.
I put a small bowl of water and sunflower seeds in the cage on the bottom. I
will get some parakeet seed shortly to see if he will eat that. The sunflower
seeds are the really small ones. They eat them in my backyard all the time.
If his little foot is broken, does he have a chance? Would a rehabber be able to
help him?

Yes. Leave him in the carrier. Mickaboo has a sister group now called mickacoo.
They often care for them in carriers. Elizabeth is expert. But I am also
including coo's email add in sender list. Liz's addy is adopt one. They will
help a lot

One of my kitties was very bad yesterday afternoon and caught a Dove (they feed
at my outside bird feeders). I got it and have it in a carrier with some
sunflower seeds and water. To be honest I did not think he would make it though
the night, but he has and seems alert this morning. The problem is, he lost ALOT
of feathers, all of his tail feathers for sure, not sure about flight feathers.
Now I don't know what to do. I may try and put him in a small cage so I can see
if he will perch, but I don't want to stress him out. Any thoughts???
