If you can handle this pidgeon then wash it off with some lukewarm water as cat siliva is toxic to birds. It sounds as if the bird can not fly due to the wing injury. If this is correct then look in your phone book for a wildlife rehabilitator and see if they can take the pidgeon. Another thing is call vets in the area and see if they know of a wildlife rehab center. If the bird is injured and can't fly you can't set it free because then it will just fall prey to another animal. Good Luck and be sure and update us.
