A Mexican free-tail mother was found grounded inside of an Ace hardware store in Clifton, Texas. This is the mother to the pup that we rescued from the same store one day prior. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and sent a transport volunteer right away. She was brought to us in poor shape, every dehydrated and thin. We provided emergency fluids and introduced her to her lost pup and they immediately snuggled together. They will both stay with us until her pup is old enough to fly and they will then be released together.
