Rescued Joey - Common Ringtail Possum

I've just rescued this little Ringtail Possum joey from my cat. It's 2AM, pouring with rain, I'm still half asleep, recovering from a tummy bug, and now have to drive this little one to the nearest 24 hour vet. As an epileptic, driving at night is something I try to avoid, but not to do so could see this little one die. It's in shock and I don't know if it has sustained any injuries so I do my best to keep it warm. Its fur is wet but there's no sign of blood. After about 15 minutes it slowly revives and seems quite calm, and clutches my shirt. We sit quietly for another 15 minutes and I can even hear it suckling my shirt. By this stage it won't let go, its little claws grasping tightly, but I somehow manage to contort my way out of it with the baby still attached. Into the car and off to the vet we go, and after a quick examination it's given the all clear. No injuries but now an orphan, it will be taken into foster care. In time, it will be released back into the wild when old enough. And please don't hate my cat. He's usually inside after dark but on this occasion he didn't come home, not even for dinner. He is a good 'ratter' though and he does earn his keep in that respect, but unfortunately, rats and young ringtails are roughly the same size and he doesn't know the difference. He does, however, bring home all of his catches and announces them loudly, and he knows not to 'grab-and-run' because I will pursue him vigorously. Geckos, grasshoppers, mice, and rats are his usual offerings.... and very rarely baby possums. If I can get to them in time nearly all survive, so this is one lucky little ringy.
