Stow-Away

I found this little critter in my basement yesterday afternoon as I was photographing my cucumber. Literally. I photograph food, especially when it comes from my garden. I looked around the corner and saw this little mouse, who was apparently hungry and weak.

I have a catch and release policy in our home for any wayward critters I happen upon. I felt bad simply releasing him to the back yard, but I knew my lovely wife would freak if I kept him and tried to nurse him back to health, although the cat would love it.

What do you do with little critters like this?
