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.

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, hip and joint powder, 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

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 ✌️💜🦇
