Dilemma! Baby Robin lightly mauled by cat.

Sundew

Unfortunately one of our pet cats got out of the garage this morning where we had it locked inside, due to it stalking out a robins nest in the garden. I was aware that there was a nest in the vicinity of our front door, hence the reason I had cat locked in. Please note she also has a bell on her neck to give advance warning.
So this morn I became aware that an incident was ongoing when Mother Robin started her warning chirp. I then heard a little one chirping back and then discovered the naughty cat hiding in the undergrowth. I grabbed the cat and then found a little chick on the grass. She had been mauled somewhat but is not a fully fledged chick. Cat seems to have pulled some feathers off her back.
I left her in the grass for about 40 min however no sign of the mother and was concerned that my next door neighbours cat would find her also, so I probably did what I shouldn't have done and have taken her inside , where I have given her some water and worms via a tweezers. She/ he has devoured them.
Just ten minute ago I went back outside to have a look for a nest and after some searching, found a nest under the ivy with 2 chicks in it.

What to do now. Should I put chick back in to undergrowth and let nature take care of itself. I presume now that she will be rejected. Could I give her a fighting chance by trying to feed her myself.
I had previously followed a thread by somebody who brought up a goldfinch from a tiny chick, but I don't think I would have the wherewithal or time to do this.
Currently robin chick is chirping away in the box as I type.
Advice???

Put him back as near where you found him as possible.

Thanks Scrameen......he perked up very well after 3/4 fresh worms...gave him 2 extra and managed to place him successful back in the nest 30 mins ago. All is well. The nest is practically on the ground ( built in to the roots of a shrub) so I reckon he tumbled out. Parents are flying on trees nearby so hopefully all will be well!
Cat is currently is solitary confinement for the rest of the month!

Update: 4 healthy Robin chicks including the little fella that nearly made a tasty dinner, fully fledged from nest sometime early this morning....cat was allowed out for a quick run around the garden,but is now back inside as we await the fledging of some bluetits from the nest box.
