A concerned lady called about a bat found on her back porch in Clive, IA. She was worried that the bat would not make it through the cold spell Iowa was having, so she frantically called us to help her. When we received the call we provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and located a bat-trained rescuer in the finder’s area. The bat was transferred to a rescuer where he/she will be assessed for hopeful release back to the wild.
