from the looks of it, its a sagebrush lizard, common out here in lake tahoe. i rescued him from my cat who ended up had 2 dead birds near him when i saved the little guy. i hope he recovers

good luck, are you planning on releasing him later?

maybe, idk. i might just hold on to him. ill figure it out when his tail grows back and the cut on its side heals

Hopefully he wasn't bitten.. catbites cause a rather nasty infection in small animals like that.. Good that you saved him though, poor little guy's probably traumatized...

remember, If you keep him, or even if you keep him for a while. Keep him away from your cali king, and out of sight of the cat, and they need UVB lighting
