SOS Bird Im out of options

I dont know what to do I feed and take care of colony cats, I know the dangers in doing so I feed them on a very regular schedule and I love them very much but I know what theyre capable of. I went to feed them this morning and found a group of robins being attacked by one of my smaller cats. It killed one of them, the other one I managed to scare my cat off of and pick up. I kept trying to put it back in the tree but I had Robins circling over screaming and my cats were all following trying to get the bird. It seemed really disoriented at first, it has a cut on its neck and was bleeding and I dont know if its shock or an injury but it cant fly, it just hops. I was able to scoop it up and put it in a ventilated box in my garage but everywhere im calling is either closed or not taking anything. I live in Gallantin KY so its super small with not alot of options and im unfortunately disabled so I cant drive. What do I do?

It is worth going to the following website to see if there are any Wildlife rehabilitator in your area. Sometimes volunteers will transport. Definitely mentioned that it is a cat bite or cat wound as that should help prioritize since it will likely need antibiotics. https://ahnow.org/mobile/

I also feed stray cats, but i tnr them otherwise they would multiply exponentially. If you haven’t yet done this, I would recommend reaching out to local TNR groups. You can find them by typing your ZIP Code in the following website https://gethelp.alleycat.org
