The Largest Bat Sanctuary on Earth

Bat World Sanctuary is on the front line to end the mistreatment of bats. Each year we rescue hundreds of bats who might otherwise die. Lifetime sanctuary is given to non-releasable bats, including those that are orphaned, injured, and rescued from the exotic pet trade, zoos and research facilities. We are also involved in conservation efforts both locally and internationally. 

Bat World was founded in 1994 and is a 501c3 non-profit, accredited organization with the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries.

Pup season reminder! From now through the end of August, bats across the United States will be having their pups and expanding their colonies. It is so important that we help protect these bats during this time- with numbers having been declining for years, every new bat born is a win! They are crucial to our environment, and protecting them is our number one goal. Unfortunately, bats have a lot going against them, and while public opinion is slowly shifting about our dear little mammals, some agencies and organizations stick to damaging protocol that directly undermines the important work bat rescuers do. If you find a bat this season that needs help- please understand that not all rescue organizations are the same. There are wildlife rehabilitation organizations out there that will say they accept bats, however; they do not rehabilitate them and instead euthanize *all* bats upon intake. The reasons they do this vary- local laws, lack of proper permits, lack of proper training, or simply a misunderstanding of bats as a species. If you find a bat, please be sure to ask the rescuer if they rehabilitate and release bats before arranging to drop the animal off. You can also locate a list a safe bat rescuers on our site, or call us directly for help anytime! Worldwide bat rescue map: https://batworld.org/local-rescue/ Bat World Sanctuary: 940-325-3404

Captain’s Log: Melon Madness This magnificent boy lives up to his name—Captain of the snack squad. Watch as he fearlessly dives into a bucket of treats like it’s a mission from HQ. Melon? Demolished. Grapes? Gone. Dignity? Optional. Captain is one of our rescued flying foxes at Bat World Sanctuary, and he takes treat time very seriously. #BatWorldSanctuary #FlyingFox #FruitBat #RescueBats #CaptainTheBat #MelonManiac #SnackAttack #BatLife

Did you know you can donate supplies directly to the bats? 🦇 Our Wishlist is an invaluable tool for donations, and it allows us to spend less time on supply runs, and more time saving bats. If you are interested in sending supplies to the bats, the Amazon wishlist is the place to be. ❤ We are currently most in need of paper towels, apple juice, plastic sheeting, decaffeinated black tea, whey powder, and milk thistle supplement. Follow the link in the bio to find these items and others that help us provide the best care to the bats! And be sure to check back every #WishlistWednesday to see what we currently need.
