BAT WORLD SANCTUARY

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 dish soap, plastic sheeting, apple juice, decaffeinated black tea, and laundry detergent pods. 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.

UPDATE: Transport found!

A bat with a broken wing needs a bat hero! A little free-tailed bat in San Angelo needs someone to meet the finder or another transporter in the Cross Plains area and bring the bat to us here at Bat World Sanctuary near Mineral Wells, TX. We need someone that is available tomorrow morning, 4/2. If you can help, please text or call us at 940-325-3404. Gas expense can be reimbursed with receipts.

Love our bats and wish you could do something to help care for them? Not ready for recurring donations but keep forgetting to make that donation you`ve been meaning to make? Now there`s an easy way to help out Bat World bats every time you shop at Walmart - It`s called Walmart Spark Good, and it`s an easy to use feature that let`s you automatically round up your purchase to the next full dollar.

When you make your purchase online or in the Walmart app, just look for the "Roundcup and donate" option. The first time, you`ll need to select Bat World, and after that, Bat World will automatically populate for you to use if you choose to do so! It may not sound like much, but those nickles and dimes add up exponentially and, in turn, do tremendous good for the bats! We`ve included a link to the Walmart Spark Good page in the comments for more information!

Note that currently, Spark Good only is available for purchase made online or through the app. It`s available in physical stores.

We appreciate everything you do to help us help the bats!

Mirror, mirror,
On the wall,
Who`s the most BOOTSIEfull bat of all?
Happy Monday from the one and only Bootsana, or we often affectionately call her, Bootsie. ✌️💜🦇

While we cannot tell you exactly what a bat thinks, or in this case, if Bootsana knows that she is seeing herself rather than seeing another beautiful girl, we absolutely can tell you that bats are sentient beings. They form tight bonds. They feel happiness, playfulness, and sadness. They feel pain and fear, all too often due to actions of humans. But, they also know trust, and they show forgiveness. We know this, too, because so very many of the fruit bats in our care experienced terrible things in their pasts, yet they realize that we mean them no harm. While they are wild animals - "exotic" or not - some even seek us out and enjoy our daily routines of providing them care.

For those of you who have sponsored Bootsana or any of our other bats, what one thing about their stories has made the biggest impact on you?
