First off you don't "find and catch" mice to keep as pets, if you did happen to capture a wild one there is a high risk of biting, rabies, and fleas. If you want a pet mouse (although I would suggest a rat because they are much easier to handle and are more friendly) you need to go to a pet store. The animals at most pet stores are typically more healthy and friendly than a wild one, not to mention more safe and have a much longer life expectancy (wild mouse 1/2 -1 year, pet store 1-2 1/2 years.

Make sure the mouse isn't a mother. If you capture it, it's babies will die most likely in your house. Whatever you do, don't keep it as a pet. If you like mice, get a couple female mice at a pet store, and give them a big cage with a wheel, and place to sleep.

If you catch mice in the wild or in your home can you keep them as pets?

It is definitely not suggested that you keep them, because many carry a multitude of diseases. Make sure to wash your hands if you touch them, and be careful not to be bitten. I recommend that you either take it somewhere away from houses to release it, or call a professional.
