Against all odds, Jazzmin is back in the wild.
You’ll even hear a feeding buzz at the end of her release!

Thanks for rescuing this young bat, Federica & Gianluca! She had recently been weaned and was weak with hunger.

Bats trapped in buildings need hydration, not just to be put outside. Call us. We’ll fix ‘em up, if possible, and release them at night. Thanks Camryn!

Thanks so much!

Our annual Pup Raiser Fundraiser is underway (June 15 – August 15), and we’re raising $35,000 to help support round-the-clock care for this season’s orphaned bats. H-E-B is matching the first $5,000 raised. You know what to do! 🦇💛 @HEB #HEBHelpingHere https://t.co/pHLw1JLDDJ

Thanks for saving her, Sydney!

These bats were lucky. Birds attack & kill lots of red bats during baby season.
