My dad found this in the street, what is it? It seems kinda sleepy and slow then started to wake up a little bit, it can sqeek like a mouse.

What should I feed it?

I have it in a shoe box, would like to offer it food but not sure what.

I think if I release it a cat will eat it.

Should I kill it with fire/nuke from orbit/punch ovaries/hit with kb?

no, you should be nice to it then let it go if its not injured, failing that get a tank and keep it !
 
My guess would be a shrew - our cat used to bring those things in all the time :( Vole's are rat-sized I think.

You really should let it go - you're probably causing it loads of stress by keeping it in captivity. :)
 
Do you live near any water- pond, stream, river, marshes. etc? Might be a young Water Vole which are endangered species IIRC and you need a special Licence to handle them, given the cuckoo-crazy UK nowadays I bet you'll get a £5,000 fine or something... :(
