It was on a Sycamore so it's probably a Sycamore Tussock. 

If I can find it, I'll try to raise it. Any suggestions on how to do that 
successfully?

Ken the Caterpillar might turn into a Sycamore Tussock Moth. Was that a  
sycamore tree it was feeding on?
The common Banded Tussock Moth is nearly identical to the Sycamore Tussock  
Moth 
in the adult stage. I can't tell the two moths apart. It would be  interesting 
if you can raise the caterpillar.
