      It is illegal to keep wild animals as pets.  If the animal has become disabled you can apply for a permit to keep it as a domesticated pet.  Wild life rescue organizations have permits to keep wild animals either for rehabilitation or if they are not releasable back into the wild.  Contact a local wild life rescue group if you have an interest in wild life work or want further information about obtaining a permit.
