Most of the bats that arrive at Bat World Sanctuary are restored to good health and then they are released back to the wild, but when this is not possible for them, they are allowed to live out the remainder of their lives with us, in a simulated, natural environment. These abused and neglected bats are cared for and provided a peaceful existence until their natural life expires.
We have provided sanctuary for bats for over 20 years, and sadly, we have reached near maximum capacity. We need more space to provide for those in need. We have secured 13 acres of land on which to build a larger sanctuary, and have raised almost all of the funds needed ($250,000) but we are still $50,000 short of our goal to complete the building. It is a large sum of money without doubt, yet such a small sum to save so many innocent lives. Please help us help the bats by making a donation below. NOTE: If the widget below does not appear you may also donate here. Donations can also be mailed to: Bat World Sanctuary, 217 N. Oak Ave Mineral Wells, TX, 76067.
Donations received through other means: $18,805.50

I did not know of your work until a friend showed a photo on Facebook, of all places! Great that you help our fellow mammals! Now if we could just get some respect and humane treatment for those we choose to eat.
I grew up in central Texas and had bats next door in the attic of a hundred year old house. My parents loved them, and we would lay outside in the evening to watch them come out and eat. I grew up with skunks,raccoons,possums,etc., and still love rescuing them when I can. Your bats are awesome and beautiful, and want to donate when I can so you can keep doing the wonderful work you do. I share so much, my friends and family are learning more than they ever thought they would. Your bats are so lucky to have you helping them!! Thank you!
Just created a widget to put on our website for you. We will also be sponsoring a bat to help you continue the wonderful work you do!!
Thank-you!~
