PLEASE
NOTE:
If there are no listings in your state, click on the state
located closest to you. Additional help/rescue can
be found at Wildlife
Rehabilitation Centers. |
|
| PLEASE
REMEMBER: Bat and wildlife rehabiltators are extremely
busy, sometimes caring for orphaned and injured wildlife
up to 20 hours per day. If you find a bat please DO NOT
rely on email to get help since time may be critical to
saving the bat. Please call a bat or wildlife
rehabilitator nearest to your location. Also,
please be aware that there may not be a bat rehabilitator
in your town or even your state, however, some
rehabilitators are willing to drive a good distance to
help a bat in need. Most wildlife rehabilitators volunteer
their time and money to save the animals, and they rely on
the help of the public. Please consider transporting the
bat to them, meeting them half way, or making a donation. |

Providing
Temporary Care
If you do not find immediate help, temporary care can be
provided in the following manner:
Line a box with an old t-shirt so the bat has something to
hang upside-down on. Create some pleats in the shirt so
the bat can hide if it wants to. (Make sure any tape that
is used is secured well so the bat won't get stuck.) Put a
small amount of water in a small, shallow container like a
baby food jar lid. Place the lid on the bottom of the
container and next to a wall so the bat can hang over it
to drink. Make sure a top is secured to the box as some
bats can squeeze through a crack as thin as 1/4"! If
you must handle the bat please remember to wear thick
gloves (even though rabies is rare in bats, if it bites
you it will need to be tested). Keep the box in a room
where the bat won't get too warm or too cold and away from
children and pets until help is located. |
