An extremely thin Big Brown bat was found roosting down low on a building in La Grange, Kentucky. Concerned for the bats safety, the finder began calling wildlife centers. After being told to just release the weak and starving bat at nightfall, the finders contacted us for additional help. 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.
