BAT WORLD SANCTUARY
texas residents - Please Help!
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.

Happy Monday from Julip the rescued Mexican freetail pup! ❤️
Sometimes the best things just can’t wait and arrive a little bit early. Shortly after her mother was rescued, Julip decided to make her entry and was born with the assistance of caregivers here at Bat World Sanctuary. Thankfully the birth went smoothly, however, because Julip wasn’t quite in the oven long enough, she wasn’t fully baked! She is premature and has some minor birth defects with her wings, but she is otherwise a healthy baby bat.
Julip and her mama, Mint, are doing well and mama Mint has recovered from her birth. Julip is spunky and full of personality, not letting her small size stop her from exploring the world around her. Once Julip is no longer dependent on her mother, Mint will be released to fly free once again. Due to Julip’s wing deformities and small size, she will be a permanent resident and receive life long care from the staff whom she has already touched the hearts of.
Baby season is here! Donations from compassionate people like you allow us to save sweet bats like Julip and Mint. Thank you for anything you can give to help us rescue more innocent beings this summer. ❤

Two species, one cozy roost. 🦇💛
Desi, a big brown bat, is settling in beautifully at Bat World Sanctuary—and he`s already made a friend! 🥹 Honey, our sweet hoary bat, was quick to welcome him. Now they’re roosting side by side like old pals.
Different species, same safe haven. Welcome home, Desi. 💛

Oh boy, here we go again! Pup season is officially here, and just in time for $5 Friday! ❤️
Mama Marsha and her tiny troopers Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta (yep, she’s got four tucked away in there!) have just arrived at the sanctuary after some landscapers unknowingly cut down the tree that Marsha had chosen for her nursery. Thankfully, this sweet little family was unharmed and has caregivers here to provide round-the-clock care to this new mother and her pups. With four little tots to wrestle, I’m sure Marsha will appreciate the help until she and her pups can be released.
If you want to support bats like Marsha and her babies, $5 Friday is a great opportunity! Your donations, even just $5, means the world to the bats. All proceeds go towards medical supplies, fruit, mealworms, cleaning supplies, and other necessities to help the many bats and orphaned pups we will be caring for this season.
Compassionate people like you help us save lives. ❤️

We need #batheros in Abilene, Texas and the surrounding areas for volunteer transport!
We work closely with another rehab, Big Country Wildlife Rehabilitation Center who has been a huge help with bats in need in their area. However, as the busiest season of the year for rehabbers picks up, both of our rescue facilities are full of new intakes, most of which are babies. Caregivers at both centers are stretched providing care to our increased number of patients, and between rescue calls and frequent feedings, there is very little time for transporting! We sometimes need sleep too! 😆
If you are in Abilene, the surrounding areas, or near Weatherford and would like to help us during the busiest time of year to save more lives, we urge you to sign up to be a transport volunteer! By signing up with the form linked in the comments below, you aren’t committing to anything specific. You are simply giving us, as well as other bat rescuers, permission to contact you if we have a bat in need in your area. Being a transport volunteer is simple! All we ask is that you pick up a contained animal in need, and deliver it to a predetermined wildlife rehabilitator. ❤️
It’s mealworm heaven for these rescued bats! They have an all you can eat buffet available to them. Some even get worms delivered straight to their mouth!
