This guy thinks it's a inside cat. Has been living behind my TV for 2 weeks. A neighbor got it out once but it got back in. I have 4 cats and they jus ignore it. It seems very docile. Sleeps behind TV all day. At nite it will come out and jus sit there and look around. What do I do?

Looking for advice about young opposum
Hello!! Me and my family are absolute animal lovers, so we were delighted to learn that we had a young opposum eating our cat food! But lil fella keeps coming around. I think he's on his own, he's pretty small but not a baby. We're just a little worried that he's getting SO CLOSE to humans (he is in our attached garage, basically IN OUR HOUSE). We live in the suburbs and there's a lot of stray cats (he only had access to our garage bc we shelter a stray out there. our stray is scared of him but i worry other cats might hurt him). We were wondering if it might be better to try and catch him in a cat trap? I don't think there's any wildlife rehabs near where we live (Wilmington, Delaware). Is it harmful if we just release him into a more forested area? Like, does he have an opposum mama or a little burrow that he wants to return to? Would seperating him from his enviornment harm him? I wanna do what's best for this lil dude, and I don't think being near people, cars, stray cats, and off-leash dogs fits the bill. Thanks for advice everyone <3
