BAT WORLD SANCTUARY
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.

When the fruit bowl is extra yummy and you want it all for yourself ✌️💜🦇
This little short-tailed fruit bat is a resident of our geriBATric ward, where we provide ample, easily accessible food for our special needs and older bats. Little Penny is taking full advantage!
Did you know? Bat World spends about $1000 a week on fresh produce alone to feed our fruit bats! It`s because of your donations that we can care for these bats, and we are so very grateful for all that you do to help the bats!
By the way, after she ate a satisfying snack, Penny climbed back to her roost and happily shared the bowl with all of her other batty friends!
Its nearly Christmas! You know what that means... panic buying gifts at the last second. 😉
If you need a last minute gift and want to support a good cause (and is simply adorable), Santa highly recommends a virtual bat sponsorship!
Yes, Adopt-A-Bats are available virtually! Virtual sponsorships arrive in your email and are ready for download almost immediately. The virtual package includes a blank certificate (ready to print & fill out), with your chosen bats backstory, photos, species information and more!
To see who is currently available for virtual adoption such as Ronan, The Captain, Benger the Avenger, and more, please follow the below. https://batworld.org/sponsor-a-bat-virtually/
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 laundry pods, bleach tabs, milk thistle powder, batteries, isopropyl alcohol, decaffeinated black tea, and plastic wrap. Follow the link below 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. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3S73F93YMNPZW/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1
Happy Toesie Tuesday! 🙌🦇
Triscuit is a rescued Mexican freetail who has bestowed her beautiful little toes upon us this morning. Those little whiskers! 😍
Because we can`t get enough of Graham the Eastern red bat`s shenanigans and sassy attitude, lol. Soooo, what do you think he`s saying this time? ✌️💜🦇

Symbolically adopt the bat of your choice by sending a one-time donation of $35.00 (and adopt a second bat for just $25!). A great educational tool, and the perfect gift for bat enthusiasts!
