I was in the yard of an old place of residence. One of the squirrels happened to have made its legs useless, presumably from a fall. As one can see, I recorded it trying to run from me (and failing; don't worry, I just startled it and didn't do anything to it) as I stepped out of the backyard door. What would you advise?

  1. hidey hole for it to hide in and be safe from cats.
  2. source of water - bird bath on ground?

That much I did in a way. The small patio or opening outside the back door is closed off and has den features, and I left an old flat container out with water in it as well as some nuts.
