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.

Today's Happy Monday #mealwormmunchfest and tiniest little munching is brought to you by Pomfrit, the Eastern red bat. Normally, our red bats eat hanging from the mesh with their faces planted squarely in the mealworm bowl. Today, little Pomfrit decided that she wanted the deluxe, hand-feeding package. Of course, her caretaker was happy to oblige!  Volume up to hear Pomfrit's quiet little munching ✌️💜🦇

Holiday hustle getting you frazzled? Well,  it's time for some Saturday morning stress relief, brought to us by the amazing Ben (yes, I'm partial, lol), a rescued Mexican free tailed bat. From where are you enjoying Ben's #mealwormmunchfest?

Giving Tuesday is TODAY, and it is a critical day for us. There is still time to help! 

Last year we accomplished so, so much with your support - that includes saving the lives of injured and orphaned bats like little Rosie, pictured below. Thanks to our wonderful donors, Rosie had the supplies needed for her caregivers to help her grow up into a healthy, happy adult and join her colony once again.

Giving Tuesday marks the beginning of the holiday giving season, and allows us to raise funds to fight cruelty against bats, rescue those in need, and provide lifetime sanctuary to bats who would not have a chance without our help. Please help us save even more lives by donating. Even $5 will help more than you may realize. 

Thank you in advance for your critical support. ❤

When you're ready for your glamour shot, but your photographer neglects to tell you that there's a tiny piece of your breakfast stuck to your lip 😑 Y'all don't tell Honey!!! ✌️💜🦇

Honey the hoary and Agave the Eastern red are foliage bats and, in the wild, live mostly solitary lives except for mating and pup season. Sometimes in sanctuary settings, they form comfortable relationships with each other and coexist happily in peace. 

Bat World Sanctaury is located just outside Mineral Wells, TX. From where are y'all admiring the stunning Honey?
