Found a baby rabbit

Question
What is the best thing to do?  We don't know if we should keep it or let it go.  We found our cat playing with it in the driveway.  Its eyes are open, but it is still very little.  What do we feed it, water, bed the cage with?  Thanks for your help!  Emily  

Answer
Dear Emily,

This article should have all the information you need.  If you can find the nest where the cat got the baby, you're in business.  If not, you might have to try to raise him yourself or find a trustworthy wildlife rehabber.

I hope this helps.
