A bat colony was discovered on the second story of an abandoned building in Mineral Wells, TX after numerus bats had found their way into the shop below. Our team scoured the floor rescuing all the living bats found among hundreds of dead ones that had been trapped inside bath tubs, sinks, and cabinets with no way out. 50 bats were able to be recovered, but were all severely dehydrated from the heat. They were brought back to the facility, triaged, hydrated, and fed. The bats in critical condition will remain at the sanctuary until they are well enough for release, and the others that were healthy were able to be be released into our bat castle that same evening.
