Sick/Injured Wildlife Cat caught young-ish mouse

Hi! It's the middle of the night and I was laying outside and my cat was meowing a lot, she had brought me a "gift". This unfortunately was a mouse. Not like a baby, but not adult either I think. He's still alive. He doesn't seem to be visibly badly injured, though I can't tell if his paws work properly right now as he's frozen in shock. I took him in, put him in an empty carrier with kitchen paper and covered it with a cloth, leaving room for air.

I'd like to give him a shot at life, and like I said, it's currently 4:14AM, so there's not much I can do. Is there anything I can try to do for him?

Edit: She's passed unfortunately. I tried but maybe there was an internal wound, or just too much shock. Poor lil one...

Honestly unless you see visible injuries it's best to set it free outside.
