If your baby was not internally injured by being bitten by the cat it might survive. Put it in a small ventilated container with a paper towel and cover it with a another paper towel. Leave it be over night. In the morning if it is still alive, try feeding it some small grasshoppers, spiders, flies, moths...just about any small insect no bigger than the baby lizard’s head should do the trick.

I forgot to add, the paper towel container is just the overnight hospital. If the little critter lives, fix up an appropriate terrarium for it, and introduce a bunch of bugs the right size. Give the lizard a piece of bark to hide under. It will come out to forage if given peace and quiet. It’s tail will eventually grow back.
